The European Union has
actively supported Egypt in a wide range of critical areas including
socio-economic development, education, health, energy, transport, environment,
climate action, information society, research and innovation, the European
Commission has said.
A joint report released on
July 17 by the Commission and the European External Action Service looks at the
partnership between the EU and Egypt for the period 2015-2017. It assesses the
achievements and policy developments in Egypt over the past two years and notes
the EU’s active support to the country. The report comes ahead of the 7th
EU-Egypt Association Council, scheduled to take place on 25th July 2017 in
Brussels, where EU-Egypt Partnership Priorities will be adopted further to
their agreement in December 2016.
According to the
Commission, the new Partnership Priorities will set the basis for strengthening
EU-Egypt cooperation for the coming three years, in areas of common interest
and concern, notably economic reforms, governance, human rights, rule of law and
efforts towards a more open society but also migration and
security/counterterrorism, as well as closer dialogue and cooperation on
regional issues.
