ARMENIAN GOVERNMENT TO ENFORCE ELECTRONIC GUILLOTINE
YEREVAN, March 19. /ARKA/. Chaired by Armenian Prime Minister Tigran
Sargsyan, the Economic Legislation Reform Council met today in the
Office of Government. Apart from council members, the meeting was
attended by OSCE, UNDP, U.S. Agency for International Development,
World Bank and Austrian Development Agency representatives.
The meeting approved the transition program and the legal act
inventory checklist as developed by the National Center for Streamlined
Legislation based on the recommendations made at the latest council
meeting by Scott Jacobs, author of Regulatory Guillotine fast reform
tool and chief consultant for the Armenia program. The meeting also
looked at the legal act revision checklist due to be submitted to
the Council for approval following discussions with the Ministry
of Justice.
The checklists are meant to promote involvement of public agency
and business sector representatives in the revision of legal acts
and the design of legal act inventories, after which the National
Center will present a reform package based on all the stakeholders'
recommendations.
Also, there will be introduced the Electronic Guillotine,
a comprehensive database of legislation and business processes,
which in addition to providing a consolidated electronic database
will promote transparency in the relations between the State, on the
one hand, and the citizens and businesses, on the other hand.
In September 2011 president Sargsyan decreed to create the Council
to reform the legal acts regulating the sphere of economy, and to
coordinate activities to enhance the effectiveness of state regulation
of economic activity. The Council will seek to eliminate provisions
that impede the development of the market economy environment, to
simplify and improve the quality of services provided to citizens
by the state, improve legislation in this area, as well as develop
proposals to reduce inappropriate and economically inefficient
arrangements and expenses. ---0---
