Foreword

In May 2011 the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission put forward a new policy response to a changing EU neighbourhood[1].

The renewed neighbourhood policy put additional emphasis on shared commitment to the universal values of human rights, democracy and the rule of law and involving a much higher level of differentiation. It also introduces the concept of “deep and sustainable democracy” encompassing the following elements: free and fair elections; freedom of association, expression and assembly and a free press and media; the rule of law administered by an independent judiciary and right to a fair trial; fighting against corruption; security and law enforcement sector reform (including the police) and the establishment of democratic control over armed and security forces.

This year Country Progress Reports reflect the new approach and pay additional attention to progress towards deep and sustainable democracy and the respect of human rights in general. They are accompanied, for the first time by a Statistical Annex which builds and expand on the basic statistical information provided until 2011 in the Annex to the Sector Report and complements the narrative information included in the Country Progress reports.

Besides the “classical” economic, trade and social data, this Annex also collates information and indicators related to advancements in deep and sustainable democracy and in the respect of human rights. Such information and indicators come from a variety of sources, notably: the Freedom House, Transparency International, the Economist Intelligence Unit, the Word Bank, Ilga International. A close cooperation with civil societies and NGOs has brought to include indicators on freedom of the press, on the respect of LGBTI rights, on the fights against cruel and inhuman treatments and against death penalty.

The Statistical Annex also provides more detailed fact and figures on the EU assistance in a new set of Country fiches.

The present document provides, as a background to the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) Joint Communication, selected political, economic, mobility and assistance related indicators, statistics and graphs.

2. Deep Democracy Indicators

The World Bank Governance Indicators (2011)

The Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) project reports aggregate and individual governance indicators for 213 economies in 2010, for six dimensions of governance: Voice and Accountability; Political Stability and Absence of Violence; Government Effectiveness; Regulatory Quality; Rule of Law; Control of Corruption.

The aggregate indicators combine the views of a large number of enterprise, citizen and expert survey respondents in industrial and developing countries. The individual data sources underlying the aggregate indicators are drawn from a diverse variety of survey institutes, think tanks, non-governmental organizations, and international organizations.

The six aggregate indicators are reported in percentile rank terms from 0 to 100, with higher values corresponding to better outcomes.

Economist Intelligence Unit’s Democracy Index (2011)

The fourth edition of the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Democracy index provides a snapshot of the state of democracy worldwide, as of the beginning of December 2011, for 165 independent states and two territories. The overall Democracy index, on a 0 to 10 scale, is based on five categories: electoral process and pluralism; civil liberties; the functioning of government; political participation; and political culture.

The index values are used to place countries within one of four types of regimes:

1. Full democracies--scores of 8-10

2. Flawed democracies--score of 6 to 7.9

3. Hybrid regimes--scores of 4 to 5.9

4 Authoritarian regimes--scores below 4

Transparency International Corruption Perception Index (2011)

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 - 10, where 0 means that a country is perceived as highly corrupt and 10 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.

World Bank’s “Doing Business” Ranking (2012)

Economies are ranked on their ease of doing business, from 1 – 183. A high ranking on the ease of doing business index means the regulatory environment is more conducive to the starting and operation of a local firm.

Ratification of core labour standards (2011)

The core labour standards are fundamental principles that protect basic human rights in the workforce. As stated in the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work (1998) the core labour standards aim to: (1) eliminate all forms of forced or compulsory labour; (2) effectively abolish child labour; (3) eliminate discrimination in respect of employment and occupation; and (4) ensure the freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining.

Ratification || Elimination of forced and compulsory labour || Abolition of child labour || Elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation || Freedom of association and collective bargaining

4. European Integration Index for Eastern Partnership Countries – Open Societies Foundations / Renaissance foundation

The Index measures the situation in EaP countries in June 2011. European integration is assessed through three dimensions:

1. Linkage: growing political, econom­ic and social ties between each of the six EaP countries and the EU;

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

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

These dimensions are subdivided into the SECTIONS, Categories and Subcategories shown in Table 1

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

SIGMA

Support for Improvement in Governance and Management (SIGMA)

SIGMA, a joint initiative of OECD (Organisation 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 projects

Twinning

Twinning is a joint implementation tool of cooperation between Public Administrations of a 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. Twinning aims at modernising the institution of the Beneficiary Country through training, reorganisation as well as drafting of laws and regulations modelled after the EU acquis. It should be related to the domains of co-operation 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.
