EU WILL PROVIDE ARMENIA WITH ABOUT 2 MILLION EUROS TO MODERNIZE FOOD SAFETY LABORATORIES
YEREVAN, April 11. / ARKA /. In 2015 the European Union will provide
Armenia with about 2 million euros to modernize its food safety
laboratories, Abraham Bakhchagulyan, head of the State Food Safety
Service, an affiliation of the Ministry of Agriculture, said today.
"According to international and local experts, although our laboratory
facilities comply with international standards, we need to expand them
and install new equipment," he said at a meeting of the Coordinating
Council on Plant Quarantine of the CIS countries in Yerevan today.
He said the three-year program calls, in addition to acquisition of new
equipment, also for organization of trainings for local professionals.
The EU provides assistance to Armenia under a program designed to
strengthen laboratory capacities for food safety, implemented by the
Enterprise Development and Market Competitiveness program, financed
by USAID. -0-
