ArmInfo. At July 30 sitting the Armenian government took a decision on
simplification of certification procedure when exporting agricultural
cargoes of no more than 2.5 tons.

Armenian Economy Minister Nerses Yeritsyan said in government that
the fee for provision of a certificate of conformity by the Chamber of
Commerce and Industry will be 2 thsd AMD as against the fixed amount
of over 15 thsd AMD.

The certificate will be provided within a day, and the agriculture
products are to undergo phitosanitary inspection instead of laboratory
analysis, the minister said.

Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan pointed out that thereby the
government stimulates export of agricultural products for small and
medium enterprises. "Our research showed that this change will be of
great importance in agriculture. This regime allows small and medium
business to independently export their products to neighboring Georgia
by simplified procedure",- the prime minister said.
