ArmInfo. Armenia needs fundamental system changes to enter the European
trade market, Economy Minister of Armenia Nerses Yeritsyan said today
at the International Conference ‘European Neighbourhood is two years:
Progress, challenges and the future’.

As the minister said, the Programme is quite informative and covers all
the spheres of Armenia’s economic vital activity. ‘Armenia assumed
a liability on fulfillment of the Actions Plan and consistently
implements institutional and structural changes. We consider
the Programme not as a liability but a possibility of Armenia’s
communication with the European countries and experience exchange’,
N. Yeritsyan emphasized.

Talking of the advantage from the programme implementation,
N. Yeritsyan said that Armenia is enabled to take part in a regional
dialogue, and it should initiate its own projects as a country with
no access to the sea.

Moreover, the minister considers the European economic integration
of Armenia in the near future real. He said it is necessary to bring
the country’s legal field in line with the European standards for
fulfillment of this goal. ‘The republic’s economic integration supposes
availability of a free trade space, that will assure communication
with the developed European countries. However, it also assumes
implementation of fundamental system changes’, N. Yeritsyan resumed.
