CENELEC
Affiliates
The EU enlargement process brings us in contact with new neighbours. In this context, a Commission Communication
(COM(2003)104 final of 2003-03-11) "Wider Europe-Neighbourhood: A new Framework for Relations with our Eastern
and Southern Neighbours" highlights the political and economical importance of enhancing the relations with Russia,
with the Western Newly Independent States (Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus) and the southern Mediterranean (Algeria, Egypt,
Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestinian Authority, Syria, Tunisia).
The European Neighbourhood policy was extended to also include the countries of the Southern Caucasus with whom
Bulgaria, Romania and our new Member Turkey share either a maritime or land border (i.e. Armenia,
Azerbaijan and Georgia). These countries are included to the European Neighbourhood Policy and can benefit from the
status of Affiliation to CENELEC.
Affiliation with CENELEC is available to a National Standards Body, which is :
- recognized as the only National Electrotechnical Committee from a EU neighbouring country;
- member or associate member of the IEC,
registered in the IEC List of Standardization Bodies having notified acceptance of the WTO Code of
Good Practice for the Preparation, Adoption and Application of Standards.
The list of Affiliates is available from the above link.
