/PanARMENIAN.Net/ For over a decade, Mr. Rainer Stepan of the City
Administration of Vienna has been eagerly and constantly pursuing
tireless efforts and targeted lobbying for the intensification of
development and business cooperation venues between Austria and
Armenia. Accordingly, besides involving several Austrian consulting
groups and companies, a number of projects were also launched during
these past ten years.
One such recent successful initiative was the carrying out of a basic
study by the Austrian PAN PLAN regarding transport-safety in Armenia,
as assigned by AustriaTech, a company specialised in transport issues,
telematics and know-how transfer.
Together with a team of local Armenian experts, this special report
was finalised and satisfyingly presented in early May 2009.
Based on the results of the assessed options and needs, AustriaTech
decided spontaneously to continue its efforts with a cooperation
offer to the responsible authorities in Armenia.
Therefore, a working group will visit Armenia at the end of June 2009
to define further steps for a sustainable programme towards the steady
increase of transport-safety in Armenia.
As a result of a number of successfully undertaken past Austrian
initiatives in Armenia, the Austrian Control Bank (Oesterreichische
Kontrollbank) has now declared their preparedness to give Armenia
such a ranking status, which would enable the Austrian partners to
launch soft loaned, non-commercial projects in Armenia. This could be
a pioneer initiative by a foreign international financing institution
for Armenia.
Taking into account the fact that the field of "Renewable Energy
and Energy Efficiency" represents one of the major focused areas of
the Armenian Government, it is certainly a sound and instrumental
consideration to provide this opportunity to a relevant Armenian
institution.
