The EASTERN PARTNERSHIP (EaP) between the European Union (EU) and its eastern neighbours-Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine-was launched at a dedicated summit in Prague in May 2009 as part of EU efforts to respond to the wish of most of these countries for closer ties. The EaP is part of the European neighbourhood policy (ENP) and is aimed at strengthening relations through increased bilateral co-operation, new association agreements, deep and comprehensive free trade areas, visa facilitation and liberalization, and co-operation on energy security matters, notably security of supply to the EU. Multilateral co-operation is also envisaged, with heads of government and state expected to meet every two years.
