In its Communication of 2 February 2000, entitled "Developing Closer Relations between Indonesia and the European Union", the European Commission recognised the need to re-assess and upgrade relations between EU and Indonesia through an enhanced political dialogue, promotion of trade and investment, and increased development assistance to be framed in a clearer policy framework. The objectives were to achieve a higher visibility and impact for the EU's support to Indonesia. The Communication was launched in the light of political and economic transition in Indonesia towards a more democratic, pluralistic and open society. Recognising that the reform process in Indonesia has made remarkable progress and has led to fundamental changes in the political and institutional set-up, the Commission perceived an opportunity to contribute to the process of enhancing good governance and the rule of law as well as containing regional unrest. The avenues that both the Commission and the Government of Indonesia have taken to advance cooperation for mutual benefit are through bilateral dialogue in the regular conduc tof the Bilateral Forum, trade and investment, and development assistance.
