    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ With Treaty of Lisbon coming into force, Armenia-EU
    relations will not undergo any changes, Deputy Foreign Minister of
    Armenia Karine Ghazinyan said.

    "Collaboration between Armenia and the European Union has already been
    established. Europe will face organizational issues only, I believe,"
    she told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

    Ms. Ghazinyan voiced hope that internal changes in Europe will help
    development of Armenia-EU collaboration. "An EU delegation will arrive
    in Yerevan on December 9 to discuss Armenia's commitment to human
    rights. This testifies our intention to get closer to the European
    family," she said.

    The Treaty of Lisbon is an international agreement signed in Lisbon
    on 13 December 2007 designed to change the workings of the European
    Union (EU). Having been ratified by all EU member states, the treaty
    will enter into force on 1 December 2009.

    Changes include more qualified majority voting in the Council of
    Minister, increased involvement of the European Parliament in the
    legislative process through extended codecision with the Council
    of Ministers, eliminating the pillar system and the creation of
    a President of the European Council with a term of two and a half
    years and a High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs
    and Security Policy to present a united position on EU policies. The
    Treaty will also make the Union's human rights charter, the Charter
    of Fundamental Rights, legally binding.
