Armenia-EU Action Plan implementation
04.04.2008 19:18 GMT+04:00
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The European Commission Directorate
for External Relations has issued `Implementation of
the European Neighborhood Policy in 2007' Progress
Report Armenia.
The report says, in part:
`Armenia made progress in several important areas in
the implementation of the ENP Action Plan, despite
delays caused by parliamentary elections in May 2007
and internal coordination problems between different
Armenian ministries. Good progress was achieved in
particular in the areas of judiciary reform, the
administration of elections and the Ombudsperson
Institution. Of key importance for 2008 will be proper
implementation of recently adopted legislation.
`The conduct of the February 2008 presidential
elections raised concerns, in particular the state of
emergency that was introduced in their aftermath. The
events have shown the necessity for further
improvement in the field of human rights despite the
progress achieved in 2007. The issue of corruption
still needs to be addressed. Progress was achieved
regarding human rights but there is room for further
improvement. Armenia has widely aligned with CFSP
declarations and is generally very active in
cooperating on CFSP-related issues.
`This document reports on overall progress made on the
implementation of the EU-Armenia ENP Action Plan
between November 2006 and 31 December 2007, although
developments outside this period are also considered
when deemed relevant. It is not a general review of
the political and economic situation in Armenia.'
