Foreword 

In  May  2011  the  High  Representative  of  the  Union  for  Foreign  Affairs  and  Security  Policy 
and  the  European  Commission  put  forward  a  new  policy  response  to  a  changing  EU 
neighbourhood1. 

The  renewed  neighbourhood  policy  put  additional  emphasis  on  shared  commitment  to  the 
universal values of human rights, democracy and the rule of law and involving a much higher 
level of differentiation. It also introduces the concept of “deep and sustainable democracy” 
encompassing  the  following  elements:  free  and  fair  elections;  freedom  of  association, 
expression  and  assembly  and  a  free  press  and  media;  the  rule  of  law  administered  by  an 
independent  judiciary  and  right  to  a  fair  trial;  fighting  against  corruption;  security  and  law 
enforcement sector reform (including the police) and the establishment of democratic control 
over armed and security forces. 

This year Country Progress Reports reflect the new approach and pay additional attention to 
progress towards deep and sustainable democracy and the respect of human rights in general. 
They are accompanied, for the first time by a Statistical Annex which builds and expand on 
the  basic  statistical  information  provided  until  2011  in  the  Annex  to  the  Sector  Report  and 
complements the narrative information included in the Country Progress reports.  

Besides the “classical” economic, trade and social data, this Annex also collates information 
and indicators related to advancements in deep and sustainable democracy and in the respect 
of human rights. Such information and indicators come from a variety of sources, notably: the 
Freedom House, Transparency International, the Economist Intelligence Unit, the Word Bank, 
Ilga International. A close cooperation with civil societies and NGOs has brought to include 
indicators on freedom of the press, on the respect of LGBTI rights, on the fights against cruel 
and inhuman treatments and against death penalty. 

The Statistical Annex also provides more detailed fact and figures on the EU assistance in a 
new set of Country fiches. 

The  present  document  provides,  as  a  background  to  the  European  Neighbourhood  Policy 
(ENP)  Joint  Communication,  selected  political,  economic,  mobility  and  assistance  related 
indicators, statistics and graphs.

2. Deep Democracy Indicators 

The World Bank Governance Indicators (2011) 

The Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) project reports aggregate and individual governance indicators for 
213  economies  in  2010,  for  six  dimensions  of  governance:  Voice  and  Accountability;  Political  Stability  and 
Absence of Violence; Government Effectiveness; Regulatory Quality; Rule of Law; Control of Corruption. 

The  aggregate  indicators  combine  the  views  of  a  large  number  of  enterprise,  citizen  and  expert  survey 
respondents  in  industrial  and  developing  countries.  The  individual  data  sources  underlying  the  aggregate 
indicators  are  drawn  from  a  diverse  variety  of  survey  institutes,  think  tanks,  non-governmental  organizations, 
and international organizations.  

The  six  aggregate  indicators  are  reported  in  percentile  rank  terms  from  0  to  100,  with  higher  values 
corresponding to better outcomes.

Economist Intelligence Unit’s Democracy Index (2011) 

The  fourth  edition  of  the  Economist  Intelligence  Unit’s  Democracy  index  provides  a  snapshot  of  the  state  of 
democracy  worldwide,  as  of  the  beginning  of  December  2011,  for  165  independent  states  and  two  territories. 
The overall Democracy index, on a 0 to 10 scale, is based on five categories: electoral process and pluralism; 
civil liberties; the functioning of government; political participation; and political culture.  

The index values are used to place countries within one of four types of regimes: 

1. Full democracies--scores of 8-10 
2. Flawed democracies--score of 6 to 7.9 
3. Hybrid regimes--scores of 4 to 5.9 
4 Authoritarian regimes--scores below 4

Transparency International Corruption Perception Index (2011) 

The  Corruption  Perceptions  Index  ranks  countries/territories  based  on  how  corrupt  their  public  sector  is 
perceived to be. A country/territory’s score indicates the perceived level of public sector corruption on a scale of 
0 - 10, where 0 means that a country is perceived as highly corrupt and 10 means that a country is perceived as 
very clean. A country's rank indicates its position relative to the other countries/territories included in the index.

Ratification of core labour standards (2011) 

The core labour standards are fundamental principles that protect basic human rights in the workforce. 
As stated in the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work (1998) the core labour 
standards  aim  to:  (1)  eliminate  all  forms  of  forced  or  compulsory  labour;  (2)  effectively  abolish  child 
labour;  (3)  eliminate  discrimination  in  respect  of  employment  and  occupation;  and  (4)  ensure  the 
freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining.

4. European Integration Index for Eastern Partnership Countries 
– Open Societies Foundations / Renaissance foundation 

The Index measures the situation in EaP countries in June 2011. European integration is assessed through three 
dimensions: 

1. Linkage: growing political, economic and social ties between each of the six EaP countries and the EU; 
2.  Approximation:  structures  and  institutions  in  EaP  countries  converging  towards  EU  standards  and  in  line 
with EU requirements; 
3. Management: evolving management structures for European integration in EaP countries.

The  NIP  2011-2013  with  an  overall  budget  of  EUR  60  million  was  signed  with  the  Libyan 
government  in  June  2010  including  two  focal  areas:  (i)  Improving  the  quality  of  human 
capital;  (ii)  Sustainability  of  economic  and  social  development.  With  the  outbreak  of  the 
Libyan crisis in February 2011 all ongoing cooperation contracts were technically suspended 
and no new operation signed. A review of the focal areas and individual activities of the NIP 
will be undertaken with the new authorities at the appropriate moment. 

In  the  meantime,  the  2011  allocations  (EUR  10  million)  have  been  reoriented  towards  the 
most urgent needs caused by the armed conflict in the following areas and preparatory work 
is ongoing for 2012 and 2013 allocations.

6. TAIEX events, SIGMA operations and twinning projects with 
ENP partner countries 

Breakdown of TAIEX requests from ENP partner countries and the Russian Federation 

Technical Assistance and Information Exchange (TAIEX) 
TAIEX  was  introduced  to  the  ENPI  region  in  2006  to  off  er  short-term  assistance  and  advice  to  Partner 
Countries  as  they  implement  their  ENP  Action  Plans.  It  was  initially  set  up  in  1996  to  provide  short-term, 
targeted technical assistance to the candidate countries. It supports Neighbouring countries in the approximation, 
application and enforcement of EU legislation. It is mainly demand driven, channels requests for assistance, and 
contributes to the delivery of appropriate tailor-made expertise to address problems at short notice. Assistance is 
given through expert missions, workshops or seminars and study visits.

Support for Improvement in Governance and Management (SIGMA) 
SIGMA, a joint initiative of OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) and the EU, was 
founded in 1992. Principally financed by the EU, it focuses on strengthening public management in areas such as 
administrative  reform,  public  procurement,  public  sector  ethics,  anti-corruption,  and  external  and  internal 
financial  control.  On  a  demand-driven  basis,  it  has  been  assisting  countries  in  installing  governance  and 
administrative  systems  appropriate  to  a  market  economy,  functioning  under  the  rule  of  law  in  a  democratic 
context.

Twinning projects 

Twinning 
Twinning is a joint implementation tool of cooperation between Public Administrations of a EU Member State 
and of a Beneficiary Country. Twinning is used to support the efforts of neighbour countries to harmonise their 
regulations with EU legislation. Twinning aims at modernising the institution of the Beneficiary Country through 
training, reorganisation  as well  as  drafting of  laws  and regulations  modelled  after  the EU acquis.  It should be 
related  to  the domains  of  co-operation foreseen  by  the Action  Plan of  the  European Neighbourhood  Policy.  It 
consists of sending to the Beneficiary Country at least one resident adviser and a number of medium and short-
term missions, all to be carried out by public officials of the EU Member State institution.
