Глава ЕС в Армении:

Гражданское общество Армении выполняет критическую роль между ЕС и национальными властями страны. Об этом на конференции в Ереване заявил глава ЕС в Армении Рауль де Люценбергер.

По его словам, активное сотрудничество с гражданским обществом исходит из основных принципов политики Европейского соседства. “Нашим намерением является предоставить еще большую помощь гражданскому обществу, а также делу укрепления политического диалога, особенно в сфере прав человека, разработке законодательства в соответствии с европейскими стандартами, что очень важно для модернизации страны”, - отметил глава ЕС в Армении. Он добавил, что невозможно представить, чтобы власти страны выполняли свои обязанности и эффективно проводили реформы в стране без критической роли гражданского общества во всех сферах жизнедеятельности страны.

Говоря о соглашении по облегчению визового режима, Люценбергер выразил надежду, что на саммите “Восточного партнерства” в Варшаве будет утвержден мандат, который даст старт переговоров по облегчению визового режима Армении с ЕС.

Кроме того представитель ЕС Андреа Фонтана (Andrea Fontana) отметил, что на содействие гражданскому обществу стран-партнеров ЕС необходимы дополнительные средства, и в Варшаве будет к тому же утвержден пакет дополнительной помощи в размере 22 миллионов евро на текущий год, а также утверждены бюджеты на 2012 и 2013 гг.
