EU’s statement about existence of dialogue with Eurasian Union shows first step toward establishing cooperation: Tigran Sarkissian

The statement of the European Union about the existence of dialogue shows that the first step toward cooperation has already been done, chairman of the Eurasian Economic Commission Tigran Sarkissian told the reporters after the session of the Eurasian inter-governmental council held in Yerevan today.

He stressed that the dialogue in the technical platform allows the entrepreneurs to solve a number of issues.

“We are interested in the creation of cooperation mechanisms which will first of all be addressed toward creation of favorable conditions for entrepreneurs. It is first of all being spoken about having technical regulations, anti-damping researches,” he said.

Sarkissian said he positively assessed being recognized as a subject by partners which will allow working with the European Commission on technical level.

“Representatives of European business working in the territory of the Euarsian Union apply to us saying that their interests are not being considered due to lack of dialogue. Our European colleagues note that they are interested in the existence of such dialogue but due to some political issues there cannot be a wider dialogue. But I can convince you that as far as the Eurasian Union is being strengthened, this dialogue with the EU will enhance,” Sarkissian said.
