EEU TO SIMPLIFY ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO TRADE PROCEDURES - VALOVAYA
YEREVAN, March 31. /ARKA/. Alcohol and tobacco trade procedures will be
simplified within the Eurasian Economic Union, said Tatyana Valovaya,
member of the board for integration and macroeconomics at the Eurasian
Economic Commission.
Today certain excise stamps are required and certain rules need to
be followed in selling Armenian alcohol and tobacco products in the
EEU markets, Valovaya said.
But an international agreement is being elaborated to amend these
procedures, she said at a round-table discussion on barrier-free
Eurasian market. The discussion was held to look into problems in
economic relations between Armenia and the EEU and to facilitate
faster adaption to the new conditions.
Today efforts are made to complete the transition and ensure the
EEU functions without exceptions and barriers, as instructed by
the presidents, Valovaya said. She said meetings are arranged
with businessmen in different countries to reveal and eliminate
the barriers.
Over the last one and a half years similar barriers were eliminated
between businesses in Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus, and the same
is being done now with Armenia, she said.
According to Armenia's National Statistical Service, tobacco production
output amounted to 65.4 billion drams in 2014, an increase of 36.5%.
Armenia's cognac production output grew by 8.1% to 18,725,500 liters
in 2014 compared to 2013. Wine production dropped by 8.2% to about
130,900 liters in the period. A total of 9,502,300 liters of vodka was
produced in 2014 (4.1% decline). Champagne production totaled 634,400
liters (18.3% growth). Apart from this, 23,716,500 liters of beer were
produced in the country in 2014 (19.5% growth). ($1 - 471.21 drams).
