On February 2, 2010, Armenian-European Policy and Legal Advice Centre
(AEPLAC) in cooperation with the Ministry of Economy, EU Advisory
Group to Armenia, German Institute of Metrology (PTB) and The World
Bank organized a workshop on "Road Map for the Reform of Quality
Infrastructure".
The target audience of the workshop were decision-makers of the
Ministry of Economy, National Institute of Standards, National
Institute of Metrology, Agency of Accreditation, State Inspectorate
of Protection of Markets and Consumers Rights.
The workshop was an important milestone in a coordinated effort
of international donors to assist Armenia in the reform of the
quality infrastructure with the objective to raise the international
competitiveness of its economy and ensure progress toward a Deep and
Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (DCFTA) with EU.
Coordinated activities of international donors were initiated in
July 2009 following the need to create a modern system of quality
infrastructure in Armenia, which would comply with international
requirements including EU standards and hence reduce technical barriers
to trade.
Since then, an awareness workshop was held, a metrology assessment
report written and submitted to the Ministry of Economy, road map
for the reforms drafted, and additional resources for high-quality
policy advice on respective reform measures convened.
The workshop discussed draft road map for further QI reforms, which
guides the Armenian government in the process.
Raul de Luzenberger, Head of EU Delegation to Armenia and Nerses
Yeritsyan, Minister of Economy opened the workshop with short remarks.
