The possibility of Armenia’s eligibility for EU membership will not be subject to discussion for a long time, head of the EU Commission in Armenia and Georgia Alexis Leber stated, Arminfo news agency reports. However not being an EU member Armenia can join the programs of trade relations with the EU. Thus, consultative programs will encourage Armenian manufacturers to export goods, which are in demand in the European market, Mr. Leber noted. In his words, the implementation of New Neighborhood program does not provide for Armenia’s EU membership. It is to establish a political and economic dialogue between EU and Armenia. “The movement towards Europe does not mean entry to the European Union”, he said noting at the same time that the program will allow realization of projects directed to the establishment of peace, development and prosperity in the South Caucasus.
