Summary/Abstract: Of course, Europe 2020 is not only relevant inside the European Union. It also offers a considerable potential for the candidate and Eastern Partnership countries. The European Commission firmly believes that strengthening political bonds and establishing a closer link with the European Union legislation and standards will create new opportunities for both the European Union and its neighbours. In this context, the Jean Monnet programme is of great importance. As you discussed yesterday, Jean Monnet professors have already delivered proof of their role in helping transition countries come closer to the Union. They offered policy advice on the European Union law, have given much valued training to civil servants and delivered the skills needed by their countries to make full use of the European Union’s internal market.
