The role of European Commission Delegation
The role of the Delegation as a diplomatic mission representing the European Commission - the executive body of the European Union - is to present, explain and implement the European Union's policy in Georgia and Armenia, analyse and report on the policies and developments of Georgia and Armenia. Also to conduct negotiations with the Georgian and Armenian governments for the implementation of the Partnership and Cooperation Agreements (PCAs) between the EU and the two Caucasian states enforced in July 1999. From November 15, 2002 the Delegation for Georgia and Armenia took wider responsibilities and play a greater role in the implementation of external assistance.
The principles of liberty, democracy, respect for human rights and the rule of law form are a cornerstone of the European Union. The "European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights" (EIDHR) was created in 1994 following an initiative of the European Parliament. The EIDHR is a funding programme that supports and promotes human rights and democracy in non-EU countries around the world.
