The EU decided to launch negotiations on a deep and comprehensive
free trade area with Armenia in order to boost economic growth and
investment with this Eastern European Partner, according to the
European Commission press release.
The negotiations will not only tackle market access conditions but
also focus on regulatory approximation, which will help to achieve
a closer economic integration of Armenia with the EU, the European
Commission said.
"The opening of free trade negotiations mark a turning point in our
trade relations with Armenia. We are entering a new phase that will
bring our economic ties to a new level of depth and ambition," said
EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht. "The EU is Armenia's first
trading partner and a deep and comprehensive free trade area will
give Armenia a more favorable access to the European Single Market
thereby helping to boost economic growth in the country."
"This is a further sign of the strengthening of our political and
economic ties. Launching DCFTA negotiations is one more step towards
closer economic integration which is one of the cornerstones of our
relations with countries of Eastern Partnership," said Commissioner
for Enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy tefan Fule.
