(by Moataz El Fegiery & Erwan Lannon, editors Sandrine Grenier & Emilie Dromzee)

A first EMHRN seminar on the ENP was held in Cairo on 26-27th January 2006. It aimed at providing NGOs’ inputs to ongoing negotiations between Egypt and the EU on an ENP Action plan, and to discuss the wider perspectives of the ENP in terms of its human rights and democracy agenda.

The seminar that was organised in cooperation with the Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies gathered representatives of Egyptian civil society as well as civil society participants from the Euro-Mediterranean region and Ukraine. EU Commission and Member States’ representatives also attended the meeting.

This report provides a summary of the proceedings of the seminar as well as key recommendations of the participants regarding the ENP in general and the Egyptian Action plan.

The report is also available in French and Arabic.
