These are political and economic issues, the implementation of an Action Plan on New Neighborhood Policy and other actions. The difference between this office and the Europa House currently existing in Azerbaijan, will be its involvement in the fulfillment of diplomatic and representational functions, whereas Europa House is more a technical office dealing with economic issues.
