The EU Advisory Group convened to its thirteenth Board Meeting on
12 July 2013. The meeting was co-chaired by Artur Baghdasaryan,
Secretary of the National Security Council and Ambassador Traian
Hristea, Head of the EU Delegation to Armenia.
The EU Advisory Group presented its Semi-annual Report (January-June
2013), along with a Needs Assessment Report and a Work plan for
the remainder of the year. The Board reviewed the Advisory Group's
different activities from January to June and noted progress on
national reforms.
The Board also gave an overall positive assessment of the Advisory
Group's work so far in 2013. "With this project, we are pursuing a
result-based approach to the successful implementation of Armenian
reforms, encouraging collective action," said the Head of EU Delegation
to Armenia, Ambassador Traian Hristea. "The EU Advisory Group offers
strategic policy advice based on the European Union's expertise and
experience," he added.
The Advisory Group reported on the achievements and results attained
during the first half of 2013. Support to the Deep and Comprehensive
Free Trade Area (DCFTA) negotiations continued.
This involved several rounds of discussions between the European Union
and Armenia. As a result, the conclusion of the Chapter on Technical
Barriers to Trade now appears imminent. The
Semi-annual Report highlights, among other topics, the Advisory
Group's support in drafting market surveillance legislation and its
contribution towards the introduction of criminal liability for legal
entities in the country's new Criminal Code.
The Board noted the Group's consistent policy advice in the areas of
Food Safety legislation, Human Rights Protection, and the national
Law on Anti-discrimination.
The Board received an update on the Needs Assessment Report for 2013,
which spells out the most critical issues and response option before
the Government and partner agencies. The Board also endorsed the
Advisory Group's Work plan for the next six months.
High-ranking officials from the President's Office, the Government and
the National Assembly, Embassies of EU Member States and international
organizations, including UNDP, attended the meeting.
