Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: Main policies and priorities targeted: 1- Trade and economic cooperation, including EU bilateral and multilateral trade and investment policies with the Arab countries. 2- European Neighborhood Policy and the Southern Neighborhood, including the promotion of democracy, rule of law, respect for human rights and social cohesion. More precisely, ANND has been working at the national, regional and international levels including at the European institutional level to ensure policy coherence of cooperation between the EU and the Arab region, for instance on issues related to trade agreements, aid mechanisms, development policies and policies that serve peace, democracy, and social and economic stability. Following the people's movements as of 2011 in the region and their call for a revised partnership with the EU, ANND has organized annual advocacy visits to EU institutions and directly engaged with the European Parliament and Commission. Calling for a structured dialogue with the civil society, ANND has been engaged in the managing consortium of the structured dialogue with the EU under the “Majalat” project, which allowed developing advocacy and monitoring tools through a multi-stakeholder consultative process around the following priorities: Governance and Rule of Law, Economic Policies and Social Dialogue, Migration and Mobility, Security and Counter-terrorism and Climate and Social.
