    The EU and Armeniahavelaunched a new Mobility Partnership to step
    up dialogue and cooperation on migration issues. ~SThe Mobility
    Partnership, together with other instruments such as future Visa
    Facilitation and Readmission agreements, will be key in increasing the
    mobility of European and Armenian citizens in a well-managed and secure
    environment", said EU Commissioner for Home Affairs Cecilia Malmström.

    A press release said on 27 October, Commissioner Malmström,
    Poland's Minister of the Interior and Administration Jerzy Miller
    and Armenia's Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian had signed a Joint
    Declaration pledging to carry out a series of initiatives in the
    field of migration. Commissioner Malmström said the launch of this
    Partnership with Armenia was a very important step towards bringing
    European and Armenian citizens closer.

    Commissioner for Enlargement and the European Neighbourhood Policy
    Stefan Füle said this partnership had showed that the EU the Eastern
    Partnership countries were ready to move towards a closer integration.

    ~SFostering mobility and people-to-people contacts is fundamental
    for the promotion of social and economic development and mutual
    understanding between the people in Armenia and in the EU," the
    Commissioner said.

    The Mobility Partnership will enhance Armenia~Rs ability to manage
    migration and inform, integrate and protect migrants and returnees,
    the press release said, adding that it will boost Armenia's capacity
    to curb irregular migration and human trafficking. Ten EU Member
    States (Belgium, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany,
    Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania and Sweden) as well as the
    European Training Foundation (ETF) are involved in this partnership,
    which remains open to other Member States wishing to take part. (ENPI
