/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Monopoly -caused dearness is formed as a result of
long mediators’ chain between manufacturers and consumers, Head of
RF Antimonopoly Service Igor Artemyev said at the news conference
in Yerevan held within the frameworks of CIS Intergovernmental
Antimonopoly Policy Council sitting. "The more mediators there are
between the manufacturer and the consumer, the higher is monopolistic
price," he said.

In his turn, the Chairman of State Commission for Economic Competition
Protection Ashot Shahnazaryan noted that shadow economy could be
decreased by establishing thorough control over invoices issued as
a result of manufacturer-consumer deals.

High monopolization rate in RA market should be regulated by
corresponding authorities, and private sector participation excluded,
Igor Artemyev believes.

Shahnazaryan added that RA Government has worked out a package
of legislative reforms in customs and tax administration sphere,
including implementation of online system for tax payments.
