EU to allocate ?¬140`170 million to Armenia by 2017
20:35 08.09.2014
Following consultation with partner countries, EU member States and
the European Parliament, the European Commission has taken decisions
providing important EU funding to the partners in the EU Neighbourhood
in the coming years. This package includes programming documents for
Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco
and Tunisia, as well as for regional cooperation in both the Eastern
and Southern Neighbourhood and for European Neighbourhood-Wide
programmes. The total amount of these programmes is over ?¬5,5 billion.
`Our relationship with the countries in our Neighbourhood has always
been one of my priorities. We have strong links with these countries
and an important role to play in helping them deal with the political
and economic challenges they face. We are committed to accompany them
on their path to peace, democracy and socio-economic development,'
saidEU High Representative Catherine Ashton Catherine Ashton.
Åtefan Füle, European Commissioner for Enlargement and Neighbourhood
Policy, said: `Ambition and commitment to reforms will guide the
massive EU funding for our neighbours for the coming years. Priorities
for support have been established through close dialogue with our
partners, involving all the relevant stakeholders, in the spirit of
ownership and partnership. The funding will help them address key
challenges their societies are facing'.
Following the adoption of programming documents for Georgia and
Moldova in June 2014, in July the EU Commission adopted a package of
bilateral and multi-country programming documents that will chart EU
support to the partners for the coming years. These funds will come
from the European Neighbourhood Instrument (ENI) that will provide the
bulk of EU assistance to partners over coming years.
For Armenia the indicative allocation for the period 2014-2017 is
between ?¬140,000,000 ` ?¬170,000,000. The three priority sectors of
intervention to be financed through this envelope are the following:
· Private sector development (indicative 35%)
· Public administration reform (indicative 25%)
· Justice sector reform (indicative 20%)
