Through its contacts with NGOs in the acceding countries, the European Anti Poverty Network has gathered information on the views of NGOs in some of these countries on the process of drawing up the Joint Inclusion Memoranda and on their content.
EAPN supports the view of NGOs in these countries who see the process of developing the JIMs as a welcome step towards better recognition of the need to address issues of poverty and exclusion in a concerted manner across the enlarged European Union. On the basis of comments received, EAPN wishes to bring the issues contained in the present document to the attention of the European Commission.
