‘Horizontal’ support actions and measures not carried out in the Cooperation or People programmesTwo interdependent objectives:

Support competitivenessthrough strategic partnerships with third countries in selected fields

Address specific problems that third countries face or that have a global character,on the basis of mutual interestand mutual benefit

To facilitate contacts with partners in third countries with the aim of providing better access to research carried out elsewhere in the world

INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION (2)INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION (2)

Cooperation with third countries in the Seventh Framework Programme will be targeted, in particular, at the following groups of countries:

• Candidate countries;• Countries neighbouring the EU, Mediterranean partner

countries, Western Balkans countries (WBC) and the Eastern European and Central Asian countries (EECA)[1];

• Developing countries, focusing on the particular needs of each country or region concerned;

• Emerging economies.[1] Formerly called the New Independent States: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.

The theme-oriented international cooperation actions will be carried out under the "Cooperation" . The international actions in the area of human potential will be carried under the "People" programme.
