Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, included into the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) in 2004, started recently their negotiations on Action Plans with the European Union. This will allow them to foster cooperation and integration with the EU in the framework of the
ENP. In order to make the ENP Action Plans (AP) exercise more effective the countries of
the South Caucasus can learn from the experience of first wave ENP countries such as
Ukraine and Moldova, which have been at the implementation stage of the Action Plans for
more than a year.
