"The Association Agreement/Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area is
a blueprint for reforms beneficial for all and not a zero-sum game
and could be compatible with economic cooperation with the members
of the Commonwealth of Independent States," the European Commission
said in a statement.
"In July this year, after three and a half years, we finalised the
negotiations of the Association Agreement (including a Deep and
Comprehensive Free Trade Area) with Armenia. This agreement would
allow Armenia with the EU´s support, to drive forward a programme
of comprehensive modernisation and reform based upon shared values,
political association and economic integration," the statement reads.
"We take note of Armenia's apparent wish to join the Customs Union. We
look forward to understanding better from Armenia what their intentions
are and how they wish to ensure compatibility between these and
the commitments undertaken through the Association Agreement and
DCFTA. Once this consultation has been completed, we will draw our
conclusions on the way forward. We want to underline once again that
AA/DCFTA is a blueprint for reforms beneficial for all and not a
zero-sum game and could be compatible with economic cooperation with
the members of the Commonwealth of Independent States," the European
Commission said.
