AEPLAC PHASE V

AEPLAC Phase V operates in an environment of Armenia-EU relations guided by the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA) since 1999. The PCA contractual framework has been developing in the recent years under the influence of the European Neighborhood Policy (ENP) and Eastern Partnership initiative (EaP).

To implement the ENP Action Plan, Armenia has endorsed a List of Measures for the period of 2009-2011. The country wishes to make full use of opportunities available under the EaP, by moving to negotiations on a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement and Visa Facilitation Agreement, which would pave the way to a new enhanced agreement with the EU.

The focus of AEPLAC Phase V is laid on support to capacity building of Armenian institutions directly involved in the implementation of the EU-Armenia ENP Action Plan. AEPLAC V also promotes visibility of EU and Armenia's European integration in the country and closely cooperates with the EU Advisory Group to Armenia.
