Wed nesday, 28 October 2009

First, the council reviewed the status of the assignments given at
its previous sitting.

The meeting also decided to settle definitively the problem of
certificates asked at customs points for those products non-envisaged
under Armenian laws and follow-up inquiries made to importers on the
given question.

To underpin "start-up" companies, a consultant engaged to that effect
was said to have designed the concept of the innovations and business
center.

Strategic Task Force Head A. Kuchukyan reported on the status of the
priorities program, including the development of a uniform schedule
for e-government and electronic society programs.

He gave the details of the work done so far towards promoting computer
literacy in the sphere of education.

Noteworthy is the Training One program which is still being tested
and discussed. The meeting discussed possibilities for getting private
sector and academic field representatives involved in the next stages
of this program. In this connection, a number of assignments were
issued to corresponding state departments.
