"Association agreements constitute the appropriate framework to strengthen relations, by enhancing political association, socio-economic integration and legal approximation with the EU and developing cultural relations. Armenia’s active commitment to assert shared values and principles, including democracy, the rule of law, good governance and respect for human rights, is the basis for taking the process forward and for the subsequent implementation of the association agreement. The Armenian authorities have repeatedly expressed their willingness to adhere to these values. The resolutions do not always accord with reality, however, especially regarding the progress of reforms. Nevertheless, negotiations on the agreement continue at a good pace and are stimulating domestic reform. In my opinion, it is important to ensure that the association agreement is a comprehensive and progressive framework for the future development of relations with Armenia, which will strengthen political association, economic convergence and legal approximation. It is important to incorporate into the agreement a strong parliamentary dimension to ensure that the National Assembly of Armenia and the European Parliament are fully involved in its implementation and monitoring. Similarly, it is necessary to assist the Armenian Parliament technically and financially so that it can fully develop its constitutional functions, bodies and services, including the creation of fully-fledged standing committees and better interaction with civil society. At the same time, I believe that it is equally important to provide for monitoring mechanisms, including the submission of regular reports to the European Parliament."@en1
