YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 2, NOYAN TAPAN . Within the next 10 days, a list
of 200 measures developed as a result of 5 consultations of the RA
Economic Council (composed of the RA prime minister, the chief advisor
to the RA president on economic issues, the minister of finance and
economy, the minister of trade and economic development, and the
chairman of the Central Bank of Armenia) will be submitted to the
Armenian government. The list contains legislative proposals aimed
at reducing the shadow circulation and bringing the powers of the
RA State Commission on Protection of Economic Competition (SCPEC)
into line with market realities and the development level of the
Armenian economy. The RA Minister of Trade and Economic Development
Karen Chshamaritian stated this at the round table "Foreign Currency
Depreciation Impact on Economic Development, Particilarly on Export"
held in Yerevan on November 1. In the minister’s words, "today the
SCPEC is rather an antimonopoly commission". He said that with the
assistance of the Armenian-European Policy and Legal Advice Centre
(AEPLAC), the RA Ministry of Trade and Economic Development is
developing a draft law on advertising. In case of its adoption,
the power of control over advertising will be transferred to the
SCPEC. "Our task is to transform this commission from an antimonopoly
one into a real commission on protection of economic competition,"
he noted.
