Subject: Opinion on the proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on temporary trade-liberalisation measures applicable to Armenian products (COM(2026) 348 – 2026/0189 (COD))
The Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development calls on the Committee on International Trade, as the committee responsible, to incorporate the following suggestions into its motion for a resolution:
On 14 July 2026, the Coordinators of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development (AGRI) considered the proposal for temporary trade-liberalisation measures applicable to Armenian products.
They regretted that, once more, AGRI opinion was sought under pressure of unreasonable time limits, without any prior consultation or discussion on the impacts of the proposed measures.
They further noted that the preferential arrangements were granted to Armenia for a limited period of two years, and were subject to conditions, the non-compliance with which could lead to temporary suspension. They also noted that safeguard measures could be imposed to deal with market disturbance due to a surge of import originating in that country. They stressed the relevance of these provisions and the need for the Commission to ensure their effective implementation.
Coordinators also expressed support and solidarity with Armenia and its people, who are today unjustly penalised and threatened by the hostile forces surrounding them.
In view of these elements, and in line with the Comprehensive and enhanced Partnership Agreement between the Union and Armenia, AGRI Coordinators endorsed the Commission’s proposal for temporary trade-liberalisation measures and asked me to convey their opinion to you pursuant to Rule 57.
