Cooperation within the European Neighborhood policy opens up new opportunities for Armenia, RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan stated at his meeting with Dutch Ambassador to Armenia Onno Elderenbos (residence in Tbilisi). The Public Relations Department, RA Government, reports that Premier Sargsyan included the establishment of a free trade regime and simplified entry to the EU member-countries among the key aspects.
The Armenia-EU action program implemented as part of the New Neighborhood policy was approved on November 14, 2006, at the 7th plenary session of the Armenia-EU Cooperation Council in Brussels. The program will allow Armenia to rise from the cooperation level to that of integration and open a new chapter in its relations with Europe.
Last year Armenia received a total of €21mln under a program of cooperation with the European Union. This year’s program provides for €24mln for Armenia. P.T. –0—
