FREE TRADE ZONE
Support A1+!The government approved the concept to create a free trade zone in the vicinity of “Zvartnots” airport. According to the concept, agriculture must develop through industrialization of agriculture and the production-reprocessing-market chain, which will provide the opportunity to increase profits for rural economies.
“This is a very important initiative in that those making concessions agree to and are ready to support and participate in the implementation of the program. It is our job to speed up the process because support for the concept and the creation of new incentives for agriculture in 2009 will be essential for Armenia. If we start this program as soon as possible, it may create a more favorable environment for investments. I also think that there should be public awareness of this plan because we are creating a free trade zone in Armenia,” said Armenian Premier Tigran Sargsyan.
Bill was urgent
The government also passed a bill for reforms and additions to the RA law on “Rallies”. The need for this bill is connected to the purpose of revealing public opinion on issues of state importance; securing public participation in decision-making processes, as well as making the propositions stated in the RA law on “Rallies” correspond to the requirements of the RA Electoral Code. The passing of this bill was considered urgent.
