During today’s parliamentary hearings dedicated to the budget
execution report RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan declared about
an unprecedented decision the authorities have taken because of the
global crisis.

"Upon the directive of the President of the Republic we have taken an
unprecedented decision with the view of promoting the development of
small and medium-sized businesses and creating a favorable atmosphere
for tax administration. The Government has decided to prohibit any type
of inspection in small and medium-sized enterprises. We are confident
that the suspension of inspections under the conditions of the crisis
will create a more favorable atmosphere for the development of small
and medium-sized businesses. We realize that the measures taken are
not enough for solving all the problems we face," Tigran Sargsyan said.

The Prime Minister informed that the Government also has a
controversial attitude towards the Tax package, which has raised great
noise among Deputies. "The package is currently being edited and it
will be considerably improved on the basis of the recommendations
made by MPs," PM Tigran Sargsyan promised.
