/PanARMENIAN.Net/ To integrate into European structures, Armenia
still needs a lot to be done, particularly concerning good governance,
the fight against corruption and the independence of the judiciary,
a European official said.

"The Commission will soon deploy high level experts through the
EU Advisory Group to assist the Armenian administration in their
reform efforts. These reforms are essential to help Armenia draw the
advantages of a closer relationship with the EU," Head of the European
Commission Delegation to Armenia, Ambassador Raul de Luzenberger said
in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.

"The implementation of the Eastern Partnership will provide
opportunities to intensify significantly our joint work in particular
as regards Armenian efforts towards strengthening democratic
structures, economic reforms and regulatory approximation," he said.
