/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The EU activities are targeted not at the accession
of new members but at the expansion of cooperation within the European
Neighborhood Policy, Mr. Edward McMillan-Scott, the European Parliament
Vice President stated in Yerevan. In his words, Bulgaria and Romania
will join the EU next year. The Balkan states have also issued a
bid. “The European Union is not a closed organization, but we pay a
greater attention to the development of horizontal ties. The Balkan
states wish to join the EU as soon as possible but it’s not real at
present. At that I do not see obstacles for Armenia’s joining the EU,
but this is the matter of the future. At the present moment the talks
with the EU within the European Neighborhood Policy are important
for Armenia,” the European Parliament Vice President said.
