Statement of the Chair of the EP Delegation at the press conference D. EEAS Press Statement E. IEOM Preliminary Findings and Conclusions Introduction Following an invitation sent to the European Parliament on 12 January by M.Galust Sahakyan, President of the National Assembly, the Conference of Presidents authorised, on 9 February 2017, the sending of an Election Observation Delegation to observe the general elections in Armenia scheduled for 2 April 2017. Following this decision, political groups appointed seven Members constituting the Delegation: Mr Frank ENGEL (EPP, Luxembourg), Ms. Agnieszka KOSLOWSKA-RJEWICZ (EPP, Poland), Ms. Maria GRAPINI (S&D, Romania), Mr Boris ZALA (S&D, Slovakia), Mr Ryszard CZARNECKI (ECR, Poland), Ms Heidi HAUTALA (Greens, Finland) and Mr Javier NART (ALDE, Spain). Ms HAUTALA was unanimously elected Head of the Delegation at the constituent meeting held on 22 March 2017. The European Parliament Delegation performed the election observation in accordance with the Declaration of Principles of International Election Observation and the Code of Conduct for international election observers. It followed the OSCE/ODIHR's methodology in the evaluation procedure and assessed the election for its compliance with OSCE commitments for democratic elections. Members of the EP Delegation signed the Code of Conduct for Members of the European Parliament Election Observation Delegations, in conformity with the decision of the Conference of Presidents of 13 September 2012. With Armenia being, furthermore, a GSP+ beneficiary country, which is conditional on the effective implementation of a number of international conventions, the EP Delegation duly considered the respect of those of them that would have an electoral dimension, such as the UN International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).
