近年来，欧盟一直致力于深化与东部邻国的经济和政治关系。欧盟与乌克兰、摩尔多瓦和南高加索国家计划在定于 2013 年 11 月 28 日至 29 日举行的东部伙伴关系 (EaP) 峰会上签署一系列正式协议。这些协议引起了俄罗斯联邦的回应，俄罗斯联邦正在寻求提供一套排除欧盟的替代经济关系。 在即将发布的第一份政策文件中，最近成立的全球欧洲中心 (GEC) 提出了欧盟需要对 EaP 国家采取的改革议程，以建立更具约束力的关系。该文件认为，欧盟需要为进入当前联合协议（AA）实施阶段的 EaPa 定义“下一代”目标。该提议是，欧盟应将欧洲伙伴共同体（EPC）地位设定为EaP的双边和多边目标。该文件认为，欧盟迫切需要对其邻国进行更具战略性的思考，并为俄罗斯创造一个更明确的地位，以避免目前的分裂竞争局面。 此外，欧盟需要改革其当前 EaP 政策的各个方面。欧盟需要为其在解决其东部邻国“冻结”冲突中的作用制定一套更清晰、可衡量的目标；更新对白俄罗斯的政策；加快签证自由化，以方便欧盟邻国公民的旅行；通过更多地投资于深度民主、联系和人与人之间的接触，深化和扩大民间社会的参与。
The European Union has been working to deepen the economic and political relationship with its Eastern neighbouring countries over the recent years. A set of formal agreements are intended for signature between the EU and Ukraine, Moldova and the South Caucasus states at the Eastern Partnership (EaP) summit scheduled for 28-29 November 2013. These agreements have provoked a response from the Russian Federation which is seeking to offer an alternative set of economic relationship to the exclusion of the EU. In the first Policy Paper to be published, the recently created Global Europe Centre (GEC) sets out a reform agenda that the EU needs to adopt towards the EaP states to enable a more binding relationship. The paper argues that the EU needs to define a ‘next generation’ objective for the EaPas it enters the implementation phase of the current set of Association Agreements (AAs). The proposal is that the EU should set a European Partnership Community (EPC) statusas a bilateral and multilateral goal for the EaP. The paper contends that there is urgency for the EU to think more strategically vis-a-vis its neighbourhood, and create a more clear-cut place for Russia to avoid the current situation of divisive competition. Further, the EU needs to reform aspects of its current EaP policy. The EU needs to define a clearer, and measureable set of objectives for its role in the resolution of the ‘frozen’ conflicts of its Eastern neighbourhood; refresh its policy towards Belarus; speed up visa liberalisation to ease travel for citizens of the EU’s neighbouring states; and deepen and broaden civil society engagement by investing more in deep democracy, linkage and people-to-people contacts.
