This currently includes the [[European Neighbourhood Policy]], [[Union for the Mediterranean]], and a variety of other [[European Union Association Agreement]]s and [[Free trade agreements of the European Union\|EU free trade agreements]]. Non-EU European states are also participating (with or without the goal of eventual EU membership) in the [[Stabilisation and Association Process]], [[Eastern Partnership]], [[European Free Trade Association]], [[EU-Russia Common Spaces]], and [[Northern Dimension]].

	The ENP should not be confused with the [[Stabilisation and Association Process]] in the Western Balkans or the [[European Economic Area]]. Russia does not fall within the scope of the ENP, but is subject to a separate framework. The European Neighbourhood Policy can be interpreted as the drawing up of the Union's borders for the foreseeable future.{{citation needed\|date=March 2022}} Another way the EU is integrating with neighbouring countries is through the [[Union for the Mediterranean]], made up of EU countries and others bordering the [[Mediterranean]] sea. {{citation needed\|date=March 2022}}
