Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy Å tefan
Fule and Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan of Armenia have signed two
new financing agreements between the EU and Armenia totalling â~B¬43
million.
A press release said the two agreements focused on institution building
in support of the negotiations and implementation of the future
EU-Armenia bilateral agreements: the Association Agreement and Deep
and Comprehensive Free Trade Area and Visa Facilitation/Readmission
Agreement.
"I believe we are preparing the ground for an Armenia which is a state
with more citizen-friendly institutions, an attractive investment
destination and better conditions for those businesses which want to
take advantage of new market opportunities," Å tefan Fule said after
signing the documents on 27 September.
EU bilateral assistance to Armenia under the European Neighbourhood
Partnership Instrument (ENPI) is â~B¬157 million for 2011-2013, double
the amount for the previous period. An additional â~B¬ 15 million have
recently been allocated under the "more for more" principle. "The more
reforms Armenia carries out the more the EU will be able to support
it. Already today, EU support for Armenia has reached unprecedented
levels," said Commissioner Fule.
Through the financing agreements signed in Yerevan, the EU will
support Armenia's Sustainable Development Programme, focusing on
several sector specific strategies such as Customs Administration,
Quality infrastructure, Food Safety and e-governance.
The new Financing Agreements are based on the ENPI Annual Action
Programme 2011 worth â~B¬43.1 million and composed of two actions,
namely:
· Framework Programme in support of the EU-Armenia agreement -
worth â~B¬19.1 million, channelled through the Eastern Partnership
Comprehensive Institution Building (CIB) initiative.
· Support to the Government of Armenia for the implementation of
the ENP Action Plan and the preparation for the future Association
Agreement - worth â~B¬24 million, channelled via budget support
programme. (EU Neighbourhood Info)
