Armenia to be granted its mandate on EU–Armenia partnership

On March 30, the EU–Armenia Parliamentary Cooperation Committee convened its next meeting headed by the Secretary General of Armenia’s National Security Council Arthur Baghdasaryan.

The session summed up the process of implementing steps that secure the implementation of the EU–Armenia Action Plan.

Baghdasaryan mentioned that within the framework of EU–Armenia cooperation, some changes are set to be made in 190 areas which include 277 activities.

In 2009, the Committee created about 40 inter-institutional working groups and developed 10 concepts, 1 strategy and 4 national programs.

33% of the above-mentioned activities have either been implemented completely or are in their final stage.

The rest of the work will be implemented from 2010–2011.

Also planned for discussion is the European Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighbourhood Štefan Füle’s visit to Armenia to discuss the issue of Armenia’s mandate to negotiate over the agreement to be granted to Armenia at the end of April.
