REGULATION (EC) No 1905/2006 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 18 December 2006
establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Council Regulation (EC) No 1085/2006 (2) establishes an Instrument for Pre Accession (IPA) for Community assistance to candidate and potential candidate countries. Regulation (EC) No 1638/2006 (3) lays down general provisions establishing a European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI). Council Regulation (EC) No 1934/2006 (4) establishes a financing instrument for cooperation with industrialised and other high-income countries and territories. Regulation (EC) No 1717/2006 (5) establishes an instrument for stability. Regulation (EC) No …/2007 (6) establishes an instrument for nuclear safety cooperation.

(7) |
Sound and sustainable economic policies are a prerequisite for development. |
(8) |
