“According to the current procedure, a person who wants to be engaged in the organization of trade centers, markets for consumer and agricultural products, submits a notification to the RA Ministry of Finance,” the RA Deputy Minister of Finance Armen Hayrapetyan noted at the extraordinary sitting of the NA Standing Committee on Economic Affairs held on June 8.

The legislative initiative of the Government envisaging amendment to the Law on Trade and Services was debated in the first reading at the extraordinary sitting of the Committee.

The Committee endorsed the draft law.
