Armenia - Action Plan
The EU-Armenia Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA) entered into force in 1999, with the goal of promoting respect for democracy, rule of law and human rights, as well as supporting market economy reforms, trade liberalisation and cooperation in a wide number of sectors.
The ENP Action Plan was adopted in November 2006 and its implementation is monitored and guided through the PCA Sub-Committees.
Priorities of the Action Plan aim to:
- strengthen democratic structures;
- strengthen the rule of law;
- reform the judiciary and combat fraud and corruption;
- strengthen respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms;
- encourage sustainable economic development and reduction of poverty;
improve investment climate and convergence of economic legislation;
- develop an energy strategy, including an early decommissioning of the Medzamor Nuclear Power Plant;
- contribute to a peaceful solution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and increased regional cooperation.
In 2007, €21 million in Community assistance has been allocated for Armenia.
An indicative amount of €98.4 million has been allocated for the period 2007-10, under the European Neighbourhood Policy Instrument.
