The EU's Black sea synergy

Bulgaristan ve Romanya’nın tam üye olması, Türkiye ile tam üyelik müzakerelerini yürütmesi ve Rusya, Ukrayna, Beyaz Rusya ve Moldova ile yürüttüğü yakın ilişkilerden ötürü, Avrupa Birliği, günümüzde Karadeniz bölgesinde etkin bir güç haline gelmiştir. Dondurulmuş çatışmalar, petrol ve doğal gaz taşımacılığı ve ekonomik ve ticari avantajlarından dolayı, bölge, Avrupa Birliği’nin çıkarları için hayati önem arz etmektedir. Bu sebepten ötürü, Birlik, Karadeniz Sinerjisi yaklaşımını üretmiştir. Bu yaklaşıma göre, Birlik, Karadeniz Ekonomik İşbirliği Örgütü gibi bölgesel örgütler ile ilişkilerini geliştirmeyi ve bölge devletlerine teknik ve mali yardımda bulunmayı arzu etmektedir

AB'nin Karadeniz sinerjisi

Today the European Union is a Black Sea power, because of full membership of Bulgaria and Romania, accession negotiations with Turkey, close relations with Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova. In the meantime the region is strategically so important fort he EU’s interests, due to the frozen conflicts, oil and gas transportation, and economic and commercial advantages. For that reason, the Union adopted a Black Sea Snergy. In that approach, the EU desires to develop its relations with the regional organizations, such as BSEC, as well as to provide additional technical and financial assistance to the regional states.
