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. Thirty three per cent 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.

Deputy Foreign Ministry Karine Ghazinyan presented the work carried
out toward the signing of the EU-Armenia Partnership and Cooperation
Agreement.

In her words, this agreement to be signed with the EU in the
framework of the Eastern Partnership Program is aimed at deepening the
political cooperation and boosting the economic integration of Eastern
Partnership participant countries with the EU to secure markets for
each other.

Also planned for discussion is the European Commissioner for
Enlargement and European Neighbourhood fan Fule’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.
