ABSTRACT
This chapter shows how the European Union (EU) has attempted to develop counter-terrorism cooperation with its eastern and southern partners and what results it has achieved in practice. It deals with locating counter-terrorism in the broader context of the EU's security policies. The chapter examines counter-terrorism cooperation between the EU and its neighbours. The European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) Action Plans drawn up for Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine contain some objectives in the field of counter-terrorism. In the EU's southern neighbourhood, the ENP has built on the experience and legacy of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, or Barcelona Process, which had been launched following the adoption of the Barcelona Declaration in November 1995. The existing Euro-Mediterranean Association Agreements have provided the legal basis for the development of ENP Action Plans towards Southern Mediterranean states, which have notably included counter-terrorism activities.
