    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ July 24 Armenian Speaker Tigran Torosyan received a
    delegation let by EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus,
    Ambassador Peter Semneby, reports the Press Service of the Armenian
    NA. When assessing the high level of EU-Armenia relations, Torosyan
    underscored the need to strengthen the cooperation more. He remarked
    that creation of a commission for cooperation with European structures
    under the charge of the Armenian Speaker is another step by Armenia,
    confirming the priority of European integration in the country's
    foreign policy. The Armenian Speaker suggested establishing an EU
    plenipotentiary representation in Armenia.

    As proposed by the EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus,
    T. Torosyan turned to the draft Election Code and arranging for the
    parliamentary election in 2007. It was underscored that resulting
    from a discussion of 40 proposals of the Venice Commission, the
    political forces of the Parliament managed to reduce the number of
    remarks causing differences, from 15 to 6-7. This will allow hoping
    that in late August, during the discussion with participation of
    Venice Commission the Electoral Code will take its final shape, fully
    in line with European criteria. To hold free, fair and democratic
    election Torosyan specially underscored the importance of forming
    a favorable atmosphere between the authority leaning and opposition
    political forces.

    During the meeting the issue of establishment of the Individual
    Action Plan was also discussed. Peter Semneby noted that Brussels
    is well aware of Armenia's serious approach to relations with the EU
    and after a few clarifications the Plan will be adopted.
