The European Neighbourhood Policy also strongly encourages regional and sub-regional co-operation. By further developing various forms of cross-border co-operation, the EU and its partners can work together to ensure that regions benefit from the EU's enlargement. In the South, the ENP will also encourage the participants to reap the full benefits of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, notably through the promotion of infrastructure, interconnections and networks, in particular energy, and to develop new forms of co-operation with their neighbours.
Au Sud, la politique européenne de voisinage incite aussi les participants à tirer pleinement parti du partenariat euro-méditerranéen, notamment par la promotion des infrastructures, des interconnexions et des réseaux, en particulier énergétiques, et à instaurer de nouvelles formes de coopération avec leurs voisins.
