ENHANCED COMPETITION ATMOSPHERE REQUIRES POLITICAL DECISION – MP
15:06 * 26.03.15
Efforts to enhance the competition atmosphere in Armenia require a
political decision, says a lawmaker from the opposition Prosperous
Armenia party.
“What we see on our market is a quota-based approach, which is either
voiced or isn’t,” Mikael Melkumyan told reporters, noting that the
import of specific products is very often assigned in advance to
concrete entrepreneurs or companies.
The opposition MP said he sees that the same principle applies also
to the procurement system. “It is necessary to understand that we will
manage to introduce clarity and manage to ensure tenders,” he noted.
“Unless we change the content of the decision-making, we won’t have
a success,” Melkumyan added.
