CEPOL conference was the natural continuation of the first ENC (European Neighbouring Countries) Conference held in Rome from 16 to 19 December 2009. At the first conference the participants agreed to be in favour of an enhanced co-operation and considered the Rome Conference as a significant step toward the establishment of solid relations with CEPOL.
