/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The first Eastern Partnership (EaP) multilateral
platform will be held tomorrow, June 5, in Brussels, Anahit
Azatyan, Press Secretary of Euro-Comission's Yerevan Office, told a
PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent. "Platform will focus on democracy,
good governance and stability. The other platforms, devoted to
economic integration, energy and people to people contacts, will
also be launched during the month of June," Euro-commission says in a
statement. The aim of the platforms is to support the eastern partners'
efforts to approximate to EU standards, to foster exchanges of
experience and best practice and to strengthen contacts between them.
"The launch of the multilateral platforms is key to the success of
the Eastern Partnership. I hope that it will bring very concrete
support to our partners' reform efforts, as well as deepen mutual
understanding" said Commissioner for External Relations and European
Neighborhood Policy Benita Ferrero-Waldner. The June 5 meeting will be
presided over by a Euro-committee representative. It will concentrate
on mapping out fields for cooperation, and will discuss the launch
of two Flagship Initiatives, on border management and prevention,
preparedness and response to disasters. Other meetings are planned as
follows: Energy security platform - June 17, and Platform on Economic
integration and convergence with EU policies - June 26.
