Member of Board (Minister) of Eurasian Economic Commission Ara Nranyan hailed the prospects of the Armenian production on the EEU markets.

Ara Nranyan said this answering the questions of Armenian businesses community representatives within Prodexpo- 2015 held in Moscow on February 9-13, the press service of the Eurasian Economic Commission reports.  

Ara Nranyan particularly spoke about the opportunities that the Armenian manufacturers obtained after the republic’s membership to the EEU, novelties in customs methods, norms of product certification, excise policy for alcohol etc..

“I hail the prospects of the Armenian production on the EEU markets and especially Russia where consumers evaluate the quality of Armenian products. Earlier, various barriers hindered the expansion of supplies, while now, after Armenia’s membership to the Union, they are minimized. In near future, the first Armenian meat products will be exported to the Russian market; relevant agreements have already been reached. Armenia has already set certain commercial ties with Belarus as well. The links are weaker with Kazakhstan but I’m sure the contacts will strengthen with all the member states of the Union”, he said.

According to Ara Nranyan, procedures of free movement of goods, services, equity and workforce among Armenia and other EEU states have been much facilitated.

“Not everyone understands that, as Armenian residents and state structures responsible for handling the work by rules and norms are still being adjusted to the new realities.
