YEREVAN, December 10. /ARKA/. The second "customs bridge" linking
Armenian and Georgian markets will be built soon, RA Prime Minister
Tigran Sargsyan said, citing the Armenian-Georgian Intergovernmental
Commission on Economic Cooperation.

"This will simplify import-export procedures, setting up common tax
and customs regimes and creating more favorable conditions for border
crossing," the premier said on Tuesday, summing up the seventh meeting
of the intergovernmental commission.

Stressing the importance of customs services and border crossing,
Sargsyan said Armenia will make efforts to improve customs procedures
to save time.

"The task is accomplished by 70 percent, with the rest of the issues
to be settled soon," he added.

Discussing delimitation of the Armenian-Georgian border,
the commissions of both countries agreed on achieving the set
goals.
