On October 1 the sitting of the National Assembly began with the approval of the agendas of the session and four-day sittings, after which the MPs debated the drafts included in the four-day sittings agenda.

The bill on Making Addenda to the RA Law on Profit Tax was debated.

The view of the Standing Committee on Economic Affairs, which presented Mr. Ara Nranyan, member of the committee, was positive.

According to Mrs. Larisa Alaverdyan the Heritage faction welcomes the idea proposed in the draft, but the given formulations don’t indicate real, precise forms of the settlement of this sphere. Mrs. Alaverdyan told that if the formulation would not be specified before the second reading the faction would vote against the bill.

The view of the Standing Committee on Economic Affairs on the bill on Making Addenda to the RA Law on Providing the Bowels in order to operate the Useful Minerals for Studying and Mining was positive.
