Dear Madam/Sir,
 
CASE - Center for Social and Economic Research in cooperation with the Centre of European Policy Studies (CEPS) is pleased to invite you to the ENEPO Final Conference on "The European Union (EU) Eastern Neighborhood: Economic Challenges Ahead"  on 18 March 2009 at the Centre for European Policy Studies in Brussels.

The conference focuses on the future economic challenges to be faced by the NIS and on the policies that can foster their economic and institutional development as well as their closer integration with the EU. ENEPO - EU Eastern Neighborhood: Economic Potential and Future Development is a specific targeted research project funded by the 6th Framework Programme of the European Union. Its main objective is to examine the potential of the European Neighborhood Policy (ENP) to upgrade the relations between the enlarged EU and the new independent states (NIS) of the former USSR in the spheres of trade, investment, labour movement and technical cooperation, in addition to speeding up economic and governance reforms in the NIS, with special attention given to mutual interdependence between these cooperation areas.
