ALL EFFORTS TO PREVENT INCREASE IN CUSTOMS DUTIES IN ARMENIA-GEORGIA RELATIONS - GIORGI KVIRIKASHVILI
19:25 * 24.12.14
Georgian Vice-Premier, Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development
Giorgi Kvirikashvili told reporters in Yerevan on Wednesday that the
Georgian side is taking steps to prevent an increase in customs duties
in the bilateral trade turnover.
"We are doing our best to harmonize our association with the European
Union with Armenia's decision to accede to the Eurasian Union. Before
we start negotiating a new customs treatment, we are trying to keep the
same customs duties that have been in effect so far," Mr Kvirikashvili.
The sides have enough time to revise all the technical issues for
Armenia and Russia to maintain active trade relations.
"Armenia is one of our important trade partners, and we are going to
do our best to develop the relations with Armenia," Mr Kvirikashvili.
With respect to transit through Georgia, he said that the sides have
opportunities of lateral cooperation and cooperation within the World
Trade Organization.
"Transit is an important component of our trade," he said.
Armenia's Minister of Economy Karen Chshmarityan noted that both
Armenia and Georgia benefit from free trade agreements.
"Our task is to maintain the treatment in relations with our partners
in the future," he said.
Armenia will simultaneously expand its cooperation with European
states, Mr Chshmarityan said.
