Armenia will carry out reforms in the tax, customs, penitentiary
and law enforcement systems in keeping with an Armenia-EU action
program for 2014-2015 endorsed earlier by the Armenian National
Security Council.
The action program including 160 clauses and dealing with six key
areas was endorsed at a National Security Council meeting hosted
by President Serzh Sargsyan on Tuesday, National Security Council
Secretary Artur Bagdasarian said at a press conference on Wednesday.
"Armenia and the European Union will continue to form a common agenda
of reforms. The action program envisions reforms in the following
fields: politics, security, justice and freedoms, infrastructure,
the humanitarian environment, trade, the social sector, and healthcare.
The package of reforms has already been discussed with the European
side," Bagdasarian said.
The EU allocated 30 million euro for Armenia in December 2013 so that
the country conduct reforms in the public services sector and combat
corruption and 41 million euro on the development of institutional
opportunities and the strengthening of the civilian sector, he said.
The EU will allocate 15 billion euro to the countries engaged in the
neighborhood policy program in 2014-2020, he said.
"We will continue intensive cooperation with the EU as long as this
does not go against Armenia's obligations within the framework of
the Customs Union," Bagdasarian said.
