EU, GEORGIA TO SIGN ENP ACTION PLAN IN A ‘COUPLE OF MONTHS’

Civil Georgia, Georgia
June 15 2006

EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus Peter Semneby told
RFE/RL on June 14 that the European Neighborhood Policy Action Plans
with Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan will be signed "in a couple of
months’ time."

He said only minor issues remain to be negotiated with Georgia,
but he added that talks with Azerbaijan are more difficult, as
differences persist between the EU and Azerbaijan on how to address
the Nagorno-Karabakh issue.

"But the slowing [down] of one will not affect [the negotiation
process with] others," Semneby added.
