TextPublication details: Directorate-General for Parliamentary Research Services March 2017Description: 12 p. Recurso onlineSubject(s): Online resources: Summary: Work on implementing the EU's global strategy for 2016-2017 includes stepping up
public diplomacy efforts as one of the priority areas. A number of factors motivated
this move. Firstly, the substantial resources committed for relief and recovery
assistance to Syrian refugees and their host communities in neighbouring Lebanon,
Jordan, Iraq, Turkey and Egypt have had little impact on public awareness of the
existing European cooperation programmes. The visibility of EU funds has also been
limited in the 10 EU strategic partner countries, where the profile of EU programmes
is still low. Secondly, the need for a strategic EU approach to communication also
results from intensified propaganda and disinformation campaigns seeking to
discredit the EU and eventually undermine its position. Thirdly, effective EU
communication in third countries plays a key role in countering jihadist propaganda
in the EU's neighbourhood and its spilling over into EU territory.
