The Council of the European Union issued a statement Monday that
reiterated its support for South Caucasus nations, while at the same
time linking free trade and the evenutal goal of visa liberalisation
for Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia with the EU.
"The EU stands ready to promote mobility of citizens of the South
Caucasus countries and other Eastern Partnership countries through
visa facilitation and readmission agreements, and once these are
successfully concluded and implemented, move towards a controlled
process taking gradual steps towards visa-liberalisation as a long-term
goal, on a case-by-case basis, as well as describe the conditions
for well-managed and secure mobility. In this context, the Council
has invited the Commission to develop before the end of 2010 a plan
on how to take cooperation forward in this area," the statement noted.
