    Armenia to continue to adapt "key" EU directives, despite joining Customs Union

    [Translated from Armenian]

    Armenian Economy Minister Vahram Avanesyan has said that Armenia
    continues to adapt some EU directives to its own economy with the help
    of a group of consultants from the European Union regardless the
    planned integration into the Russian-led Customs Union.

    "There are areas in which, we will certainly discontinue [adapting],
    but they will be pursued in the key areas," Avanesyan said.

    He also said that that the approach was not simply "copying" the
    directives, but adapting them to Armenian reality and the approach was
    universal. "We have adopted previous EU directives. The same approach
    applies to the rest of our partners," the minister said.

    Avanesyan also commented to pro-Russian Iravunk.com website on a
    question as to how his ministry was preparing the Armenian economy for
    the eventual accession to the Customs Union. "We are currently dealing
    with the risk assessment so that we are aware of all risks and able to
    understand the impact on Armenian economy of the documents to be
    signed within the framework of the Customs Union and find the best way
    possible to ensure that accession to the Customs Union will not entail
    detrimental consequences for Armenia," Avanesyan said.
