Idea of Twinning
Projects financed by the European Union from May 1998’
• To share experience between “old” and “new” Member-
State
• To build the candidate countries’ capacity to adopt,
implement and enforce the full acquis communautaire
before joining the European Union (EU).
• To build a partnership and to work together towards
achieving project goals (mandatory results)

Twinning rules
• Twinning projects must bring to the BC a concrete operational
result described in the Twinning Contract as mandatory results
• Twinning is a joint project of a MS and a BC, with
commitments and responsibilities taken on by both Twinning
partners. It is not a one-way delivery of technical assistance
from a MS to a BC
• The achievements of a Twinning project (mandatory results)
should be maintained as a permanent asset to the Beneficiary
administration even after the end of the Twinning project
implementation
