Th e RA ministry of economy will implement the first twinning program
in Armenia within the framework of the European Neighborhood Policy
(ENP), using a standard expenditure model for assessing the impact
of regulation of legal acts. The deputy minister of economy Vahe
Danielian announced this at the May 12 joint press conference with
the head of the European Commission delegation's programs in Armenia
Jean-Francois Moret and the chief of the expert group assisting with
development of the concept of the model's introduction, legal advisor
to Gulf International Legal Strategies company Joseph Deunay. The
press conference was held following a working meeting on introduction
of the model.
V. Danelian reminded that the ministry of economy coordinates the
implementation of the EU ENP Action Plan in Armenia. According to him,
the successful holding of the above mentioned working meeting laid a
foundation for further programs. He also reminded that the Armenian
prime minister has set their ministry the task to form a business
environment excellency center in Armenia in the next one or two years,
and the introduction of the standard expenditure model in the ministry
will help solve this problem. The possible assistance of the World
Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the
International Finance Corporation will also help to deal with the
indicated problem. The deputy minister added that the introduction of
the model will pursue the goal of optimizing the prices and terms of
services provided by the ministry to business, based on a consensus
of the state and the private sector. The model will be applied by
"7-8 departments in the economic field of Armenia".
According to him, after introducing the indicated model, in 2007
the Dutch government set the task of reducing the expenses of such
services's provision by 25%.
J. Deunay said that the standard expenditure model was first used
in the Netherlands in order to evaluate the expenditures needed for
fulfilment of the obligations related to legislative and normative
regulation. Later the model was used in other countries of the EU
and Great Britain.
He informed those present that the RA ministry of economy has
encouraged businessmen and NGOs to participate in discussion on the
use of the model.
"Armenia may become a leader in the model's introduction among
developing states," J. Denay noted, adding that a simplified
legislative field is conducive to attraction of more investments.
In the words J.F. Moret, the above mentioned concept will be developed
within a year, after which the draft document will be submitted to 27
EU countries for presentation of respective proposals within 3 months,
as well as proposals on formation of a partnership twin. The proposals
will be summarized at a conference in Yerevan with the participation
of representatives of these countries. The conference also will mark
the start of the first twinning program in Armenia. The program of
the total cost of 1-1.5 million USD will be implemented within 2 years.
J. F. Moret said that the intention to start using Twinning and
Technical Assistance and Information Exchange tools in Armenia was
announced in November 2007. The indicated tools will be first of all
applied for ensuring civil aviation safety and in the activities of
the ombudsman.
