The extraordinary session of the Inter-department Commission on
Coordinating the Cooperation of Armenian State bodies with European
Institutions was held today, conducted by Secretary of the Armenian
National Security Council Arthur Baghdasaryan.

Press service of the National Security Council told Armenpress that the
annual report of the European Commission about Armenia was discussed,
the implemented works were summed up and the current issues were
pointed out.

Arthur Baghdasaryan noted that the European Union positively assessed
the implementation process of the events ensuring the Armenia-European
Action Plan; simultaneously a number of concerns were raised, in the
direction of which certain work must be carried out.

“We must manage to ensure the proper implementation of all the acts
intended by the Action Plan in the indicated timeframe. There are
a number of issues, which are not solved; some ministries have not
managed to fulfill their commitments because of financial issues.

Those works must be organized more efficiently to register better
results,” he said.

The members of the inter-department commission – Foreign Deputy
Minister Arman Kirakosyan and Deputy Economy Minister Mushegh Tumasyan,
presented the works carried out in the direction of signing the
Armenia-European Union Association Agreement and an agreement on
comprehensive trade.

The Armenia-European Union Association Agreement is intended to start
in June and to sign by the end of the year.
