YEREVAN, DECEMBER 20, ARMENPRESS: Robert Dayan, head of
standardization, measurement and compliance certification department
of the trade and economic development ministry, reiterated today that
beginning from January 1, 2007 forty types of imported foodstuff must
have mandatory Armenian language marking.
He said subject to mandatory Armenian language marking are chicken
meat, eggs, meat products, sausages, meat cans, dairy products,
confectionaries, teas and coffees, chocolates, vegetables, jams
and others.
The list of these products was approved by the government in April,
2006. Other imported foodstuffs, not included in this list, will be
subjected to obligatory marking as of June 1, 2007.
Dayan said the marking must indicate the name of the product, its
origin country, city, the name of the manufacturing company, when it
is made and the expiry date, as well as its ingredients. He said the
ministry and customs committee had done a great deal of job to inform
Armenian importers about new regulations.
He said foodstuff with no Armenian language marking will not be
allowed into the country.
