    ARMENIA WORKING TO HARMONIZE ITS LEGISLATION FOR MUTUAL RECOGNITION OF GOLD ITEMS HALLMARKS WITH IRAN AND RUSSIA

    ARKA
    Apr 6, 2010

    YEREVAN, April 6, /ARKA/. Gagik Kocharian, head of a ministry of
    economy department in charge of trade and market efficiency, said
    the ministry is working to harmonize national legislation for mutual
    recognition of gold items hallmarks with Iran and Russia.

    He said apart from revising the national legislation some other
    measures will have to be implemented that will allow to certify
    Armenia-produced jewelry in line with international standards. He
    said reciprocal recognition of hallmarks is expected to facilitate
    the process of export of Armenian jewelry and goldsmith produces.

    'The process has begun but having in mind the risks of this sector,
    it may protract,' he said.

    According to the National Statistical Service of Armenia, production
    of jewelry and goldsmith items last year slashed by 16.1 percent
    from 2008 to 733.8 kg. According to the ministry of economy, export
    of jewelry and gold items in 2009 shrank to $10.7 million from $22.6
    million in 2008.
