The 2004 Enlargement of the European Union, involving the accession of 10 states, forced the EU to create a special policy with regard to its new neighbours - the European Neighbourhood Policy. This initiative encouraged the neighbours of the integrated Europe to introduce political and economic reforms aimed at strengthening democracy and free market. For four years, the ENP has not yielded the expected results. Its main flaw was the fact that it included two groups of states which are very different in political, social and economic terms - the Mediterranean states and Eastern European states. It was also a mistake that the EU clearly signalled that there is no chance for these states to join the Union. The fiasco of EU policy under the ENP contributed to the intensification of the efforts of Polish politicians to increase the effectiveness of EU's co-operation with its eastern neighbours. With the support of Sweden, Poland managed to create a new EU initiative under EPS - the Eastern Partnership - aimed at Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Moldova. The aim of the Partnership is to deepen the co-operation between the EU and its neighbours, while not rejecting their possible accession in future. However, whether this initiative can be realised will depend on the willingness of all the parties involved to co-operate - both the EU Member States and the neighbouring states.

Poland, being the biggest country among the new Member States, has a welldefined foreign policy interest, particularly towards the Eastern neighbourhood. This article examines the involvement of Polish Presidency of the Council in the development of the foreign and security policy of the European Union. Considering the serious limitations placed on the role of the rotating Presidency in the post-Lisbon institutional framework, the analysis investigates the patterns of action Poland followed, which involved the providing of the operational backup for the High Representative as well as bringing its own contributions to the agenda of the Foreign Affairs Council. As the article demonstrates, the rotating Presidency can still redound to the further development of the foreign and security policy.

The paper briefly presents the Barcelona Process, the structure, and the main formal and non-formal purposes of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, resulting from the 1995 Barcelona Conference. A decade after the Barcelona Process began, there are some areas of progress but a combination of theoretical and practical-political problems has placed strong constraints in the advancement of the EMP. It turns out that what began as a major international initiative, has become a sideline in international relations. The article examines the relationship between Israel and the EMP, describing political instances in which the Israeli government makes the best of its association with the EMP. It also shows weak points in this relationship which lie in the area cooperation. Finally, the paper mentions the establishment of the European Neighborhood Policy. ENP may help to overcome some problems in the relationship between Israel and the EU.

BLACK SEA SYNERGY (Synergia Czarnomorska)

Expansion of the European Union in 2004 made it necessary for the European Communities to develop relations with their new eastern neighbors. This became one of the direct reasons of creating the European Neighbourhood Policy, which was to prevent the emergence of new lines of division in Europe and lead to surrounding the EU with the so-called circle of friends. A proposition for the Black Sea area directed towards promoting stability, peace and security in the region, environment protection as well as infrastructure and the building of bonds between Europe, the Near East and regions of the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea is an initiative known as the Black Sea Synergy, modeled on the Northern (remaining outside the European Neighbourhood Policy) and Mediterranean Dimensions. However, many countries in the region express anxiety that the Synergy is an attempt to substitute EU enlargement policy with cooperation frameworks alternative to membership. Such doubts have been mostly voiced by Turkey because of the German authorship of the Black Sea Synergy, Germany being the strongest opponent of Turkey's membership in the EU. Debate on the status of the Synergy within the European Neighbourhood Policy is an outcome of controversies and competition between initiatives for the development of the Eastern and Southern Dimension of the ENP.

Eastward Enlargement of the European Union – a Success Story or an Unfi nished Project? The Polish Point of View

This article presents a concise analysis, performed from Poland’s point of view, of the genesis, effects and future prospects of the enlargement of the European Union to the east. Initially, the enlargement concerned a group of 11 post-communist states of Central and Eastern Europe, which became members of the EU between 2004 and 2013, and has brought about positive results for both the new members and for the EU as a whole. In the broadly defi ned east of Europe, however, there is still a group of countries aspiring to EU membership and taking various measures towards this end. The European Union supports these efforts, but has no full and clearly defi ned policy in this regard. There is much to indicate that the possibilities of further EU enlargement to the east are presently exhausted. The candidate countries are greatly hindered in their striving for EU membership by their complicated internal and international situations, while most EU Member States are distinctly unwilling to accept new members at this time. This will not change even despite the positions of such countries as Poland, which considers the enlargement of the EU to the east vital to its interests, but which so far does not have suffi cient stature for its voice to take precedence.
