European Commission in 2006. In his opening remarks, Armenian Prime
Minister Tigran Sargsyan said that the program of reforms should be
implemented in Armenia within 10 years.

For his part, Head of the European Commission Delegation to
Armenia Raul de Luzenberger said that reasonable public financial
management will reduce corruption and increase the efficiency of
funds distribution.
