    The European Commission has pledged â~B¬19.1 million under this
    year's Annual Action Programme for Armenia to help boost its key
    institutions responsible for cooperation with the EU. A press release
    said the approval, on 13 July, of the 2011 Action Programme would help
    "strengthen the technical and administrative capacity of key Armenian
    institutions in charge of the implementation of future Armenia-EU
    cooperation on trade, visa liberalisation, socio-economic reforms
    and improved quality of governance."

    "The 'Arab Spring' led to increased expectations of governance reforms
    across the European Neighbourhood," Commissioner for Enlargement
    and European Neighbourhood Policy Å tefan Fule underlined, adding:
    "The impact that the changes had on the Eastern neighbourhood, Armenia
    included, cannot be ignored. Today's adoption of the Annual Action
    Programme shows that the EU remains strongly committed to empowering
    societies in the neighbourhood partner countries to take ownership
    of these reforms, which are very much needed for the well-being of
    their people."

    The 2011 Action Programme for Armenia (part I) deals mainly with
    the Eastern Partnership Comprehensive Institution Building (CIB)
    programme, which is central for preparing the foundations for the
    Association Agreement and DCFTA.

    The support package will address three key reform challenges in
    Armenia:

    â~@¢preparing for the EU-Armenia negotiations of the Association
    Agreement; â~@¢advancing reforms in justice, liberty and security;
    â~@¢preparing for the negotiations of the Deep and Comprehensive Free
    Trade Area. (ENPI Info Centre)
