RA Minister of Finance and Economy Vardan Khachatrian and the newly
appointed Head of the European Commission delegation in Armenia Per

the Armenia-EU Action Plan. P. Eklund said that they consider the
measures implemented under the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP)
and the Millenium Callange Armenian Program as priorities of the action
plan’s directions. V. Khachatrian said that being the main economic
document of the government, the PRSP is a guideline for all donor
organizations because it indicates the priorities, tasks and terms in
a definite way. Speaking about the cooperation of donor organizations,
the minister noted that donor organizations hold meetings from time to
time to clarify their work and directions, and an electronic database
was created for their assistance. It is refreshed by donors, which
allows them to avoid similar programs. According to the press service
of the RA Ministry of Finance and Economy, during the meeting the
sides discussed other issues related to Armenia-EU economic relations.
