Fri day, 16 January 2009
The Council heard and approved the report on the status of RA-EU
action plan under the European Neighborhood Policy. The Prime Minister
indicated that this meeting was anticipated by several consultations
which passed under review the details of per-agency breakdown of
activities. Tigran Sargsyan proposed to discuss the overall ideology
of cooperation, as well as to look at specific actions under the
cooperation program. He stressed that all concerned agencies were
told to prepare individual action plans for cabinet discussion after
finalization and endorsement on the part of the National Council.
The Council approved the status of Twinning, Tie-X, Sigma and
Cross-Border cooperation programs under the European Neighborhood and
Partnership Facility (ENPPF), as well as the Budget Support Program.
In an effort to meet today's imperatives, the Council amended the
title of the September 7, 2006 government decree N1282, which now
reads as follows: "On setting up a national council and a steering
committee for coordination of EU-Armenia cooperation in line with
the EU-Armenia Action Plan under the European Neighborhood Policy
with a view implementing the 2009-2011 primary tasks and priority
actions and approving their by -laws and compositions."
Corresponding changes were made to the statutes of the National
Council. It has been decided that the council secretariat shall be
staffed by appropriate divisions from the Staff of Government and
the Staff of the Ministry of Economy.
Those present suggested changing the composition of the National
Council to include representatives from a number of non-governmental
organizations which were in attendance of the meeting. All specified
NGOs will be engaged in council activities following discussion and
approval of the proposal.
