YEREVAN, JUNE 5, ARMENPRESS: Senior agriculture officials from European
Neighbourhood countries met on 31 May and 1 June in Brussels to
discuss the strategic modernisation of the agricultural sector in their
countries at a Conference on the European Neighbourhood Programme for
Agriculture and Rural Development (ENPARD). First Deputy Minister of
Territorial Administration Vache Terteryan attended the conference as
well, Armenia's Ministry of Territorial Administration told Armenpress.
ENPARD is a new policy initiative, part of the EU's commitment to
inclusive growth and stability in its Neighbourhood, which recognises
the potential importance of agriculture in terms of food security,
sustainable production and rural employment.
As the key ENPARD event in the year 2012, the conference will be
opened jointly by Commissioner Dacian CioloÅ~_ (Agriculture and Rural
Development) and Commissioner tefan Fule (Enlargement and European
neighbourhood Policy).
The objective of the conference is to present the Programme's vision
and approach to high level officials in charge of agriculture,
rural development and international cooperation from all European
Neighbourhood Policy partner countries South and East of Europe.
It will also provide the opportunity for participants to have in-depth
discussions on how the Programme can best respond to the difficulties
of agriculture and rural areas in their countries. Participants will
hear from the experiences in the EU-12 in modernizing agriculture and
rural areas, through the presentation of lessons learnt under SAPARD
and IPARD programmes, which yielded significant results during the
pre-accession phase.
Within the visit Vache Terteryan met with Pascal Georgen,
newly-appointed Secretary General of the Assembly of European Regions
(AER). Issues on bilateral cooperation were mostly discussed.
