    European Commission: Armenia achieved progress in
    Armenia-EU Action Plan implementation
    04.04.2008 19:18 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The European Commission Directorate
    for External Relations has issued `Implementation of
    the European Neighborhood Policy in 2007' Progress
    Report Armenia.

    The report says, in part:

    `Armenia made progress in several important areas in
    the implementation of the ENP Action Plan, despite
    delays caused by parliamentary elections in May 2007
    and internal coordination problems between different
    Armenian ministries. Good progress was achieved in
    particular in the areas of judiciary reform, the
    administration of elections and the Ombudsperson
    Institution. Of key importance for 2008 will be proper
    implementation of recently adopted legislation.

    `The conduct of the February 2008 presidential
    elections raised concerns, in particular the state of
    emergency that was introduced in their aftermath. The
    events have shown the necessity for further
    improvement in the field of human rights despite the
    progress achieved in 2007. The issue of corruption
    still needs to be addressed. Progress was achieved
    regarding human rights but there is room for further
    improvement. Armenia has widely aligned with CFSP
    declarations and is generally very active in
    cooperating on CFSP-related issues.

    `This document reports on overall progress made on the
    implementation of the EU-Armenia ENP Action Plan
    between November 2006 and 31 December 2007, although
    developments outside this period are also considered
    when deemed relevant. It is not a general review of
    the political and economic situation in Armenia.'
