EU to negotiate free trade zone with Armenia
The European Union is ready for discussions of the free trade zone
formation with Armenia, President of the European Commission Jose
Manuel Barroso said after a meeting with Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan in Brussels, News Armenia reports.
The EU Trade Policy Commission, consisting of 27 members, approved
talks on free trade zone formation with Armenia on February 29.
Armenia will be able to diversify export structure and enter the
European market.
Armenia switched to the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP+) with
EU states for three years on January 1, 2009. The system allows
Armenian exporters to ship goods at lower fees to Europe. GSP+ is
offered to a narrow range of states, meeting criteria and
requirements. It concerns over 6,400 types of goods, paid for at the
lowest fees, common for free trade zones.
Armenian-EU associated membership should replace the partnership and
cooperation agreements signed in Yerevan on July 19, 2010.
