ARKA
June 26

Armenia intends to become a regional center on statistical data
collection, Armenian Premier Tigran Sargsian said at his meeting with
the Chairman of the Statistical Service of Italy Luigi Biggeri and
the Director of International Cooperation Office Claudia Chingolani.

Cooperation with such a prestigious statistical service in the EU
and in the world like the Italian one will be particularly useful
to Armenia, Sargsian said as quoted by the Press Service of Armenian
Government.

Armenian Premier discussed data collection issues with his guests and
said that Armenia is expecting Italy’s assistance in this matter. The
guests pointed out that the aim of the visit is to provide technical
assistance to Armenia to bring the country’s laws on confidentiality
of statistical data in harmony with the EU legislation.

The Premier stressed the importance of cooperation between the
statistical services of the countries. Biggeri said that Armenian
colleagues somehow adopted the Italian experience and achieved good
results. He expressed readiness to continue sharing experience with
the Armenian colleagues.
