YEREVAN, DECEMBER 10, ARMENPRESS: A strategy of food security has
been mapped out and it implies a number of reforms, according to Aram
Gharibyan, adviser to the RA prime minister.
He said today at a meeting with journalists that several basic
principles are intended to be adopted. The first one is the
principle of 'from field to table'. It implies that the society
will have information about the food, which is being consumed. He
says a concrete analysis of risks and a system of assessment must be
available and it must be integrated into international systems.
According to Aram Gharibyan, it will give an opportunity to Armenian
consumers to avoid risky food and be protected.
The strategy is consisted of a program with several actions and
implies a variety of structural and institutional reforms. Three
inspections - plant-sanitarian, food security and veterinary, hygienic
and anti- infectious inspections - are involved in the food security
sphere of the republic. There are also several state non-commercial
organizations, which provide services in the food security sphere.
Aram Gharibyan says the structural reform intends that those
inspections will be united for the creation of a common establishment,
which will assume all the functions, connected with ensuring of
food security.
'We noticed that some inspections have the same functions and that in
some cases their functions are not diversified,' Aram Gharibyan said.
He says the fact that the inspections will be united does not imply
that workers will be dismissed, as the new establishment will assume
new functions.
