Cette notion a remplacé «Europe de l'Est», et ce, pour plusieurs raisons. Tout d’abord, l'ancienne expression renvoie à un contexte de guerre froide qui n’ existe plus. Ensuite, les Hongrois estiment que leur pays fait partie de l'Europe centrale et non de l'Europe orientale. Par conséquent, il a fallu forger une nouvelle expression plus exacte. Au sens strict du terme, «Europe centrale et orientale» est aussi erronée qu'Europe de l'Est. Dans les deux cas, il s’agit d’un découpage politique arbitraire qui exclut, entre autres, la Grèce, pourtant bien située dans l'est de l'Europe. Également exclus les pays Baltes et des États comme la Biélorussie, l'Ukraine et la partie européenne de la Russie. 3, record 2, French, - Europe%20centrale%20et%20orientale

The Baltic Economic Management Training Program (BEMTP) - a multi-million dollar initiative in all three Baltic countries - was one of CIDA's flagship programs for sound and effective public administration. Deemed to be both a timely and an extremely relevant initiative, the BEMTP specificially targeted young, mid-level "high achievers" who were likely to make significant impacts in macroeconomic and public procurement policy. This project is notable for its flexibility in helping almost every individual participant meet their professional requirements through a balance of theoretical courses and practical experience. 1, record 7, English, - Baltic%20Economic%20Management%20Training%20Programme

Le Programme de formation en gestion économique pour les pays baltes(BEMTP), une initiative dotée d’une enveloppe de plusieurs millions de dollars et mis en œuvre dans les trois pays baltes, était un des programmes «phares» de l'ACDI pour favoriser l'avènement d’une administration publique saine et efficace. Considéré comme une initiative à la fois opportune et fort pertinente, le programme ciblait précisément la jeune garde, c'est-à-dire des jeunes gestionnaires de niveau intermédiaire susceptibles de faire leur marque dans l'élaboration de politiques macroéconomiques et de politiques en matière de marchés publics. Ce projet se démarque par la souplesse dont il a fait preuve afin d’aider chaque participant à atteindre ses exigences professionnelles au moyen d’une combinaison judicieuse de cours théoriques et d’expérience pratique. 1, record 7, French, - Programme%20de%20formation%20en%20gestion%20%C3%A9conomique%20pour%20les%20pays%20baltes
