EU WAS UNAWARE OF ARMENIAN TEAM FOR ACCESSION TO CUSTOMS UNION - PETER STANO
17:01 17.10.13
The European Union (EU) was not informed of the team formed last
December to study the possibility of Armenia's accession to the Customs
Union, Peter Stano, Spokesperson of Štefan Fule, European Commissioner
for Enlargement and European Neighborhood Policy, told ilur.am.
The team was formed under Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan's
Decision #1204 of December 4, 2012.
The EU was informed of the Armenian government considering ways of
establishing more active cooperation with the Customs Union, which
would not imply membership. Armenia continued negotiations over the
Association Agreement and the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area
Agreement (AA/DSFTA), which were successfully completed this summer,
Mr Stano said.
As to the possibility of the EU mistrusting Armenia's authorities in
future, he said that the EU respects its partner's decisions.
