Commissioner Stefan Fule on completion of negotiations on the future
Association Agreement with Armenia
Catherine Ashton, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs
and Security Policy, and Stefan Fule, EU Commissioner for Enlargement
and European Neighbourhood Policy, made today the following statement:
"We are delighted to confirm the substantive completion of the
negotiations on the future Association Agreement between the
European Union and Armenia, including the establishment of a Deep and
Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA), on which negotiators reached
agreement in Yerevan yesterday.
This is a very positive development, and we look forward to the
initialling of this Association Agreement at the next Eastern
Partnership Summit to be held in Vilnius on 29 November 2013, and
to the subsequent signing of the Agreement as soon as the technical
procedures are completed.
The completion of these negotiations, launched in 2010, represents a
significant achievement for both the European Union and Armenia. The
Association Agreement will allow the EU and Armenia to drive forward
together a programme of comprehensive modernization and reform based
upon shared values, political association and economic integration.
The Agreement will have a direct positive impact on daily life and
will bring Armenia and all its citizens closer to the European Union.
We express our appreciation to the negotiators on both sides for
reaching this excellent outcome".
