Summary/Abstract: This analysis shows how the ENPI (»European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument«), the current instrument of financial support for the EU’s neighbourhood, functions and operates, while summarising its effectiveness and efficiency. The second part of the text introduces the new political context and circumstances related to the developments in the EU’s neighbourhood, as well as the debate within the EU itself on its policies and instruments towards Eastern Europe and North Africa. Finally, the third section deals with the debate on the EU’s future aid instrument for its neighbourhood. The fundamental question is: how reasonable is it to maintain a single instrument for such a diverse area in which the EU will encounter different challenges?
