Key Information on Israel (Sigma Programme)

The Sigma Programme, a joint initiative of the EU and the OECD principally financed by the EU, in June 2008 extended its support to Israel in the framework of the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI).

Sigma Activities in Israel

As agreed with the Commission, Sigma activities will be undertaken initially in nine prioritised countries: ENPI-South – Egypt, Jordan, Morocco and Tunisia; ENPI-East – Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.

In the meantime you may wish to take a look at information and reference documents provided by the EU's European Neighbourhood Policy on Israel.
