YEREVAN, October 17. /ARKA/. Representatives of customs services of
Armenia and Georgia intend to harmonize their activities. Head of
delegation of Parliamentary Assembly of Black Sea Economic Cooperation
(BSEC PA) Gagik Minasyan said on Monday in the press-conference
that relevant instruction was given during 37th meeting of BSEC PA
committee on economic, nature protection, trade and technological
issue which took place on October 12-13 in Tbilisi.
"It will allow to use fully the resources and support the rehabilitated
economy", said Minasyan.
Minasyan said that the meeting also discussed issues of reformation
of tax and customs systems.
This topic was selected with the purpose of verification of policies
conducted in BSEC PA member-countries and clarify what opportunities
give these reforms for the promotion of economic activity.
"The Armenian side presented the policy implemented in the country
in this sphere, particularly harmonization of tax and customs
systems, introduction of customs mechanisms that reach the contacts
of importers/exporters of goods to a minimum, as well as the reforms
targeted at the reduction of contacts of taxpayers with tax authorities
and facilitation of their work", said Minasyan.
The document submitted by Armenia was unanimously adopted and will
be discussed at the end of November in PA meeting in Tirana.
Minasyan mentioned that recently many serious steps in these spheres
have been implemented in Armenia.
"In Armenia, this issue reached a rather high standard, and in my
opinion, in BSEC PA there is no country where this level is higher",
he said.
There is a lot to do in this sphere and "even moving forward rapidly,
Armenia should work many years to reach the level of western
countries".
He also mentioned the serious progress in the introduction of
electronic system of reporting in tax system, adding that in the
nearest future the implemented work will bring real results.
