June 24-25, 2014 Regional Cooperation for European Integration - A Bridge between Macroregions
2 The Central European Initiative The CENTRAL EUROPEAN INITIATIVE (CEI) is the oldest intergovernmental organization of its kind in this part of Europe, being established in 1989 as the first forum promoting regional cooperation in Central, East and South-East Europe The CEI has now 18 Member Countries, spreading from the Adriatic to the Black Sea and the Baltic, with a population of more than 240 million 10 are EU Member States Others are at different levels of relationship with the EU: Candidates and Potential Candidates, or EU Neighbours encompassed by EU Eastern Partnership Policy CEI Member Countries are different from most points of view, but over more than 20 years of collaboration have consolidated a shared vision and a common mission The Central European Initiative (CEI), a regional intergovernmental forum open to change, is committed to supporting European integration through cooperation between and among its Member States and with the European Union (EU), other interested public institutions or private and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), as well as international and regional organisations. Regional Cooperation for European Integration - A Bridge between Macroregions 1
3 The Central European Initiative Regional Cooperation for European Integration while providing A Bridge betw een Macroregions Coinciding themes and goals: Overlapping membership: 13 out of 14 Countries encompassed by the EUSDR; 7 countries in common with the EUSAIR, and 1 with the EUSBR 10 areas of cooperation, grouped into 3 main thematic pillars: Towards a Knowledge-based Society; Towards a Sustainable Economy and Development; Towards an Inclusive Society Regional Cooperation for European Integration - A Bridge between Macroregions 2
4 The Central European Initiative CEI Strategic Approach to Regional Cooperation pivots on four objectives: Support CEI Member Countries on their path towards EU integration Promote the alignment of CEI Member Countries to EU standards and the acquis Implement small and medium-sized projects Open to convert constructive ideas into innovative results The CEI is committed to contribute to the successful implementation of EU macro-regional strategies by participating in relevant activities as a main stakeholder Regional Cooperation for European Integration - A Bridge between Macroregions 3
5 The Central European Initiative The CEI is not only a platform for political dialogue: we developed a specific methodology combining multilateral diplomacy and project management, with a series of activities focusing on the region. Noticeably, we are engaged in projects both as recipient of funds and as a donor through our dedicated instruments: the Knowhow Exchange Programme, the CEI Cooperation Fund and the CEI Trust Fund at the EBRD Regional Cooperation for European Integration - A Bridge between Macroregions 4
6 CEI for the Bioeconomy The CEI Plan of Action prioritizes Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, with particular regards to Advanced Biofuels and the Bioeconomy The Plan of Action has been negotiated and adopted by all 18 CEI Member Countries in 2013; they expressed a common position and a mandate to explore the potential of bioenergy in the CEI area, while acting as «focal point for awareness building at governmental level» Over the past decade, CEI has been devoting growing attention to the promotion of RES and EE in its Member Countries. Conversion of biomass into energy is particularly interesting for the region, owing to strong agriculture & forestry sectors and to relevant academic and industrial capacities. CEI Countries could benefit in terms of rural development, energy security, innovation, job creation. Relevant impact on economic growth might be expected In 2012 we commissioned to Bloomberg a Report on Advanced Biofuels in CEI Countries Downloadable from: Regional Cooperation for European Integration - A Bridge between Macroregions 5
7 CEI for the Bioeconomy At decision-making level, CEI organizes the Annual Meeting of Ministers for Science and Technology, which is a privileged occasion for policy-makers to discuss common challenges and joint strategies. At stakeholders level, CEI established the CEI Network of Science and Technology which includes Centres of Excellence operating in the region, also in the specific field of Bioeconomy. Moreover, we are constantly expanding our contacts with actors along the Bioeconomy value chains, in particular with research institutions, CSOs and investors. At operational level, we established pro-active dialogue with the EC and leading sectorspecific fora. In particular. the CEI participates as observer in the Steering Platform on Research for the Western Balkans and the Steering Group of EUSDR PA7 (Development of the Knowledge Society through Research, Education and Information Technologies) CEI capacity in designing and implementing EU-funded projects involving partners from Candidate and Neighbouring Countries, is a major asset that allows us contributing to the EU enlargement process Regional Cooperation for European Integration - A Bridge between Macroregions 6
