The European Union plans to eliminate tariffs on roughly 80% of imports from Armenia, an announcement made by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on July 2. The decision came after her meeting with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in Yerevan. This measure is part of the EU's broader efforts to support Armenia. According to Bloomberg, as reported by Радіо Свобода, the tariff removal is also intended to help shift Armenian trade flows away from Russia. This economic initiative aims to deepen the relationship between the EU and Armenia by facilitating greater market access for Armenian products within the European bloc.
