The first stage of negotiations on Armenia-European Union free trade
agreement is scheduled on June 19-20 in Brussels, said the deputy
minister of economy Garegin Melkonyan, who is the negotiator from
the Armenian party.
Prior to this, the 11th session of the RoA-EU trade, economic and
legal issue subcommittee is held in Yerevan with the participation
of an EU delegation headed by the Luc Devigne Head of Intellectual
Property & Public Procurement of the European Union.
Issues to be included into the free trade agreement package are
discussed concerning cooperation in different spheres, improvement of
the competition conditions, foundation of enterprises and other topics.
According to Garegin Melkonyan the European Union is already the main
trade partner of Armenia. 47% of Armenian goods is exported to the
27 countries of the European Union.
Luc Devigne said the start of the negotiations is based on the report
by the European Commission which runs that the Armenian authorities
have done the necessary steps towards reforms. The point is about the
elimination of technical obstacles in the trade sphere and perfection
of the competition and property spheres. We hope, the to-be-formed
government will go on the reforms and Armenia will be fully ready to
sign the agreement, said the European official.
