    CONSTITUTIVE MEETING OF THE EURONEST PARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY TO BE HELD ON MAY 3

    The first EURONEST Parliamentary Meeting will be held in Brussels
    on 3 May, bringing together MEPs with parliamentarians from five
    Eastern Partner Countries. The Parliament will host legislators from
    Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine to constitute the
    new Assembly.

    As this is the first time this body will meet, the main goal of
    the constituent meeting is to adopt the rules of procedure, elect
    co-presidents, the bureau and working groups, and sign the constituent
    act. EP President Jerzy Buzek will address all participants and
    present the speakers of the Parliaments of the Eastern Partners.

    The EURONEST Parliamentary Assembly (PA) consists of 60 MEPs and
    10 MPs from each of the five Eastern Partner Countries. Belarus is
    a special case: although a part of the Eastern Neighbourhood, there
    was much discussion about how to allow its participation in EURONEST
    without giving legitimacy to Alexander Lukashenko's regime. In the
    end, next week's meeting will be held without any representatives
    from Belarus in attendance.

    EURONEST's role is to provide a parliamentary dimension to the EU's
    Eastern Partnership, part of the EU's Neighbourhood Policy.

    The Speaker of the Armenian National Assembly, Hovik Abrahamyan, will
    leave for Brussels tomorrow at the invitation of the President of
    the European Parliament, Jerzy Buzek, to participate in the EURONEST
    sitting. Hovik Abrahamyan is expected to address the participants of
    the sitting.

    The Speaker of the Armenian National Assembly will have a meeting
    with the President of the European Parliament.
