Armenian Deputy Minister of Economy Mushegh Tumasyan said that the
quality control system needs to be improved in Armenia to comply with
international standards.
"This opinion is supported not only by international experts and
relative commissions. We do understand it," Tumasyan told a briefing
prior to public discussions of the project on amendment of the Armenian
quality control system.
According to the Deputy Minister, a precondition was set on reformation
of the system during the process of European integration, including an
important stage of economic integration, which in its turn envisages
trade integration. "We need to protect consumers' rights in our country
and have a safe production at the internal market to start negotiations
on free trade with EU. Besides, we need to export Armenian products
to European countries. That is why we have initiated the reforms,"
he said.
The Deputy Minister noted that reforms will be implemented in three
basic directions: standardization and accreditation; technical
regulations and market control; test, control checks and certification.
For his part, Armenian Minister of Economy Yeritsyan noted during the
public discussion that "EU is a strongly controlled market requiring
high standards, and our companies face difficulties in complying with
them." "The reforms are aimed at increasing the competitiveness of
Armenia's economy and increasing the country's export potential,"
he noted.
