Descripción
The text discusses the Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between the Republic of Armenia and the European Union, emphasizing its significance in enhancing cooperation in various domains such as law, human rights, business, environment, and education. The agreement, effective since March 2021, aims to modernize Armenia by aligning its legislation with EU norms and fostering collaboration in the field of agriculture.The document outlines objectives described in CEPA, such as facilitating policy understanding, enhancing administrative capacities, promoting modernization and sustainability, and improving competitiveness. The report is aimed at analysing Armenia's legal, policy, and socioeconomic environment for CEPA implementation, identifying gaps, and providing recommendations for alignment.The project comprises three main components: legal analysis, agricultural policy analysis, and socioeconomic data analysis. The legal analysis aims to identify CEPA provisions related to agriculture, assess the current legal framework, and make recommendations for regulatory changes. The agricultural policy analysis evaluates key policies and provides recommendations for future CEPA implementation. The socioeconomic analysis assesses the impact on the agricultural sector and explores opportunities to enhance competitiveness, promote development, and increase trade flows.Due to the broad scope of CEPA, the report focuses solely on the agricultural sector and acknowledges the potential for policy adjustments by the Armenian Government to address emerging challenges.
