The Secretary General of the World Custom Organization (WCO) Kunio
Mikuriya, is in Armenia for a two-day working visit. WCO positively
assesses the custom reforms implemented in Armenia. The Secretary
General said they intend to make Armenia a model country of custom
reforms.
There are few countries in the world where the tax and custom bodies
are united into one structure. The World Custom Organization is still
studying Armenia's experience, and in case it proves to be effective,
it will be applied in other countries, as well.
What should Armenia do to improve the situation in the business
atmosphere, especially the monopoly? Kunio Mikuriya is confident that
first of all it is necessary to review the whole economic policy, but
this is not the task of the customs office. However, it can help by
simplifying the market access. "Thus, the customs office is considered
a central component for raising the national competitiveness," he said.
