On 26 September, Armenia and the EU discussed new opportunities for Armenian and European businesses deriving from the EU-Armenia Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement (CEPA).
Organised by the country’s Ministry of Economic Development and Investments, together with the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Trade, the event gathered EU and Armenian traders, investors and service suppliers.
The participants also discussed how Armenian operators and consumers will benefit from an ambitious system of protection of Geographical Indications and how Armenian companies, artists and inventors creating and selling innovative, artistic, distinct and high-quality products will be able to rely on a strong intellectual property rights protection system in their own country, just like they can in the EU.
Representatives of the EU, Armenian government, diplomatic missions accredited in Armenia and international organisations, as well as representatives of the business community, were also invited to the event.
