EU’s Head of
Cooperation Corinne Andre, Director of International Cooperation at the
Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation, and Emad Al-Shanaah,
attended the opening session, which also saw the participation of representatives
from more than 50 government and private institutions.
“TAIEX is ... an
instrument of the European Commission that supports public administrations with
regard to the approximation, application and enforcement of EU legislation as
well as facilitating sharing the EU best practices,” the statement said.
It said it “is
largely needs-driven and delivers appropriate tailor-made expertise to address
issues at short notice.”
Andre, the EU’s
head of cooperation, said that the workshop’s main objective “is to promote
TAIEX tool to Jordanian Public Institutions and highlight the added-value it
could bring to the Jordanian partners,” according to the statement.
She said that the EU is looking forward to
receiving more TAIEX applications from Jordan following the workshop.
Shanaah said:
“Jordan is moving ahead with steady and determined steps towards reforms at all
levels, especially the administrative reforms that are being carried out by the
Public Sector Modernizing Committee, and utilizing EU capacity building tools
like TAIEX will certainly enhance Jordanian institutions’ capacity and build
long term relationships with EU counterparts to tackle our challenges.”
He said TAIEX “is
an important tool for so many years and will remain such to build stronger
partnership with the EU.”
The event showcased
testimonials from the public institutions, which received TAIEX support locally
in the last 10 years, as well as live training on how to fill in TAIEX
applications online.
Sectors covered by
TAIEX are agriculture and food safety; freedom, security and justice;
environment and energy; and transport and telecommunications.
TAIEX is open to civil
servants, principally in central public administrations; judiciary and law
enforcement authorities; parliaments and civil servants working in parliaments
and legislative councils; as well as representatives of social partners, trade
unions and employers’ associations.
