The article presents roots of ENP in two dimensions: eastern and southern. It discusses ENP evolution in two phases, which led to its contemporary shape. It characterizes conditions in which policy is conducted and is pointed at answering question if currently the policy is national or if the EU should make an effort to withdraw from it or the opposite: engage more. Should it change the approach in which more aid is offered for more changes, what in short is called “more for more”. As a proof that policy can be effective in supporting transformation an example of the east states after 1989 is given. It is suggested that ENP should create a FTA. The article shows an important ENP aspect linked with differences: of level of development, followed by labor costs, law and institutional arrangements, and by economies’ branch structures. Attention is turned to ICT resolution, which seem to be main condition bringing together consumption patterns despite differences in development
