The state is going to fine Mika Armenia Company in the amount of
1 million Armenian drams for failing to register within Technical
Security National Center.

Ashot Petrosyan, the head of the center, sarcastically welcomed the
management of Mika Armenia to register.

This requirement is stipulated by law, which says that dangerous
production units have to register within the abovementioned center by
September 1. In case they fail to do so, a fine of 1 million Armenian
drams will be imposed on them, which will turn into 2 million Armenian
drams at a later date. After it, the production unit will be closed.

Petrol feeling stations, carrousels, swimming pools, cranes, elevators
and some others are considered as dangerous production units. The
center does not have information on the number of such productions.

Therefore, it is hard to control the registration requirements. The
center says they have forwarded requests to communities to inform
about such productions but the communities say they do not have any,
the center head claims.

Twelve fatalities were reported in the course of one month due to
unsafe operations.
