The first EURONEST Parliamentary Meeting will be held in Brussels
on 3 May, bringing together MEPs with parliamentarians from five
Eastern Partner Countries. The Parliament will host legislators from
Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine to constitute the
new Assembly.
As this is the first time this body will meet, the main goal of
the constituent meeting is to adopt the rules of procedure, elect
co-presidents, the bureau and working groups, and sign the constituent
act. EP President Jerzy Buzek will address all participants and
present the speakers of the Parliaments of the Eastern Partners.
The EURONEST Parliamentary Assembly (PA) consists of 60 MEPs and
10 MPs from each of the five Eastern Partner Countries. Belarus is
a special case: although a part of the Eastern Neighbourhood, there
was much discussion about how to allow its participation in EURONEST
without giving legitimacy to Alexander Lukashenko's regime. In the
end, next week's meeting will be held without any representatives
from Belarus in attendance.
EURONEST's role is to provide a parliamentary dimension to the EU's
Eastern Partnership, part of the EU's Neighbourhood Policy.
The Speaker of the Armenian National Assembly, Hovik Abrahamyan, will
leave for Brussels tomorrow at the invitation of the President of
the European Parliament, Jerzy Buzek, to participate in the EURONEST
sitting. Hovik Abrahamyan is expected to address the participants of
the sitting.
The Speaker of the Armenian National Assembly will have a meeting
with the President of the European Parliament.
