YEREVAN
Public Council is formed in the State Commission on the Protection
of Economic Competition of Armenia (SCPEC). The first meeting of the
new structure took place on Tuesday in Yerevan.
Head of SCPEC Artak Shaboyan said that the Council consists of
12 members, representative of business community, civil society
organizations on the protection of consumers' rights and interested
state administration bodies.
"The purpose of establishment of Public Council is to raise all the
issues in the sphere of competition, bring them to the Commission,
discuss together and try to give them solutions", he said.
"We created different opportunities for raising these issues. We
created a "hot line", relevant opportunities in the website so that the
citizens and businesses detecting problems in the field of competition
apply to the Commission.
However, unfortunately, opportunities created for the society, turned
not so effective", said Shaboyan.
The main sources of research and administrative proceedings are
publications in mass media. "We disclose many problems on our own
initiative. We also wish to use other opportunities. The Commission
wants to be aware of the existing problems", he said.
According to SCPEC member Hrayr Aramyan, the work of the commission
will be more effective if we involve wider society. "We can't carry
out our work without it but we want to create an effective and sincere
platform for the increase of its efficiency", he said.
Head of Consumers' Association of Armenia Armen Poghosyan said that
this step targeted at consolidation of the forces of the society is
delayed. "In any case, it is a positive step allowing to effectively
present the facts of public dissatisfaction with SCPEC.
