    2.1 Transparency International Corruption Perception Index (2012-2013)

    The Corruption Perceptions Index ranks countries/territories based on how corrupt their public sector is perceived to be. A country/territory’s score indicates the perceived level of public sector corruption on a scale of 0 – 100, where 0 means that a country is perceived as highly corrupt and 100 means that a country is perceived as very clean. A country's rank indicates its position relative to the other countries/territories included in the index.

    2.3 The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Index of Democracy (2012)

    The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Index of Democracy provides a snapshot of the state of democracy worldwide for 165 independent states and two territories - this covers almost the entire population of the world and the vast majority of the world’s states (micro states are excluded). The Democracy index is based on five categories: electoral process and pluralism; civil liberties; the functioning of government; political participation; and political culture. Countries are placed within one of four types of regimes: 1) full democracies; 2) flawed democracies; 3) hybrid regimes; and 4) authoritarian regimes.

    1) Break in series due to methodological changes. The ILO standard definition of unemployment is used from 2008.[2008 - 2012] - Data are related to the persons aged 15-75.[2009, 2010] - As of whole year. Survey results have been weighted.

    2) Belstat does not calculate the unemployment figures in accordance with the ILO standards. It takes into account only the share of unemployed registered in employment institutions compared to the general number of economically active population and not the total number of unemployed which includes the persons who are also job seekers. Gallup survey estimates the unemployment figure to be 40 times higher – around 24% (data for 2012, source: ILO).

    3) As of 2012, the data refer to the entire labour force (including those who are in compulsory or permanent military service); see explanation in the introduction: http://www.cbs.gov.il/publications13/saka0313q/pdf/intro_e_e.pdf

    FP7 is the short name for the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development. This is the EU's main instrument for funding research in Europe for the period from 2007 to 2013. FP7 is also designed to respond to Europe’s employment needs and competitiveness. FP7 supports research in selected priority areas - the aim being to make, or keep, the EU as a world leader in those sectors. FP7 is made up of 4 main blocks of activities forming 4 specific programmes plus a fifth specific programme on nuclear research: cooperation (collaborative research); ideas (European Research Council); people (human potential, Marie Curie actions); capacities (research capacities); nuclear research and training. Some of these programmes count significant cooperation with Neighbourhood partners.

    5. European Integration Index for Eastern Partnership countries, Open Societies Foundations / Renaissance Foundation

    European integration is assessed through three dimensions:

    Ø Linkage: growing political, economic and social ties between each of the six Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries and the EU;

    Ø Approximation: structures and institutions in EaP countries converging towards EU standards and in line with EU requirements;

    Ø Management: evolving management structures for European integration in EaP countries.

    Benchmarks were defined by assigning 1 to the best and 0 to the worst possible performance.

    2. ENPI – Cross Border Cooperation (allocations 2007 – 2013)

    The ENPI Cross Border Cooperation (CBC) programmes have four key objectives:

    - promoting economic and social development in regions on both sides of common borders;

    - working together to address common challenges, in fields such as the environment, public health and the prevention of and the fight against organised crime;

    - ensuring efficient and secure borders;

    - promoting local cross border 'people-to-people' actions.

    CBC programmes are co-funded from the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) and from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The CBC Indicative Programme 2007-2010 allocated EUR 583 million (EUR 275 million from the ENPI and EUR 308 million from the ERDF). Following the mid-term review, a second CBC Indicative Programme allocated further EUR 538 million for the period 2011-2013 (EUR 260 million from the ENPI and EUR 278 million from the ERDF).

    8.1 Breakdown of TAIEX requests from ENP Partner countries and the Russian Federation (number of requests per country) 2006-2013

    Technical Assistance and Information Exchange (TAIEX) was introduced to the ENPI region in 2006 to offer short-term assistance and advice to Partners as they implement their ENP Action Plans (Association Agendas for Eastern Partner countries). It was initially set up in 1996 to provide short-term, targeted technical assistance to the candidate countries. It supports Neighbouring partners and Russia in the approximation, application and enforcement of EU legislation. It is mainly demand driven, channels requests for assistance, and contributes to the delivery of appropriate tailor-made expertise to address problems at short notice. Assistance is given through expert missions, workshops or seminars and study visits.

    8.6 SIGMA – Support for Improvement in Governance and Management

    SIGMA, a joint initiative of OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) and the EU, was founded in 1992. Principally financed by the EU, it focuses on strengthening public management in areas such as administrative reform, public procurement, public sector ethics, anti-corruption, and external and internal financial control. On a demand-driven basis, it has been assisting countries in installing governance and administrative systems appropriate to a market economy, functioning under the rule of law in a democratic context.

    Twinning is a joint implementation tool of cooperation between Public Administration of an EU Member State and of a Beneficiary Country. Twinning is used to support the efforts of neighbour countries to harmonise their regulations with EU legislation. It aims at modernising the institution of the Beneficiary Country through training, reorganization as well as drafting of laws and regulations modelled after the EU acquis. It should be related to the domains of cooperation foreseen by the Action Plan of the European Neighbourhood Policy. It consists of sending to the Beneficiary Country at least one resident adviser and a number of medium and short-term missions, all to be carried out by public officials of the EU Member State institution.
