TAIEX

Technical Assistance Information Exchange Office [TAIEX] of the European Commission, DG Enlargement

TAIEX a Commission Office and is part of the Directorate-General Enlargement of the European Commission. It was set up in 1996.

TAIEX aims to provide New Member States, Candidate Countries, Potential Candidate Countries, European Neighbourhood Policy Countries and Russia with short-term technical assistance on transposition, implementation and enforcement of the entire Community Acquis, including the necessary administrative infrastructure.

TAIEX works on a demand driven basis and aims to transfer tailor-made expertise drawn from officials in all public and semi-public bodies from the older Member States to their counterparts in the Beneficiary Countries in all fields relevant to the Acquis at a short notice.

Services

The most popular services provided by TAIEX are:

  • Expertise:  Short term mobilisation of experts from the ‘old’ Member States to the Beneficiary Countries in order to provide advice on legislative acts and interpretation of the acquis, as well as guidance on administrative arrangements for its implementation and enforcement.
  • Study Visits: Officials from Beneficiary Countries are provided with the opportunity to understand how Member States tackle practical issues related to the implementation and enforcement of the acquis and issues related to the interaction with stakeholders.
  • Seminars & Workshops: Targeted to a wider audience, seminars and workshops deal with needs and challenges experienced in an individual BC or shared by a number of Beneficiary Countries.  The multi-country format also provides an excellent opportunity for networking and exchanging of experience between Beneficiary Countries.

In principle, all activities supported by the TAIEX office must be one week long.
