Today the NA resumed its work with 103 deputies and held “rather
efficient” voting.

The bill on making changes in the “Law on energy” which aroused serious
disputes and was sent to the Parliament for further review was passed
with 86 “pros,” 6 “cons” and 3 “abstentions.” Then the deputies voted
the bill changes on “the list of products imported by individuals or
enterprises and exempt from excise-duty and having 0 percent customs
duty from which the value added tax is not levied.”

Only the fraction ND was against the bill and it took a 20 – minute
break “for lobbing,” the leader of the fraction Karen Karapetyan
informed “A1+” about it.

After the voting the above-mentioned bill was voted down with 60
“pros,” 0 “cons” and 0 “abstentions.”

Thus the fraction ND won and the bill was sent to the Government.
