News.az: Azerbaijan and EU to resume talks on association agreement

The following week, after a long pause, a meeting of the representatives of Azerbaijan and the European Union will be held to discuss the association agreement, head of the EU delegation in Azerbaijan Roland Kobia has said.

"2012 was marked by stagnation in the negotiations on the conclusion of the association agreement with Azerbaijan. The plenary session which will be held in Brussels on 9-10 April is a good sign that we resume negotiations," he said.

Negotiations are conducted in four major areas: politics, economy, human rights and democracy, as well as trade. Back in May of last year, the head of the EU delegation in Baku Roland Kobia reported that most of the points were agreed upon negotiation.

"Association Agreement is the best offer, which the EU provides to its partners. It is comprehensive and covers almost all areas of bilateral cooperation," said Kobia.
