U.S. AMBASSADOR'S REMINDERS TO GOVERNMENT
Armenia is facing a lot of challenges in the customs service, said
the U.S. ambassador John Heffern yesterday during the opening of the
Conference on Customs Reforms in Armenia.
We will continue to work with the State Revenue Committee, the
ministry of finance and the civil society towards the solution of
these problems.
Dwelling on Armenia's decision to join the Customs Union, the
ambassador repeated that Armenia is free to make its own decisions,
and the United States and other partners of Armenia will continue to
work with Armenia.
In his opening remarks John Heffern said they are often asked why
they care for customs reforms in Armenia and what they will bring to
the United States. Nothing, he says, we are improving the environment
and sometimes even criticizing the Armenian authorities.
The ambassador reminded that Armenia is a WTO member and has assumed
commitments which must be implemented.
