Yerevan/Mediamax/. "Armenia - Development of E-Management System" EU-funded new 2-year program started today.

Head of the European Union Delegation to Armenia Traian Hristea stated at the presentation that the program aims to introduce a program of electronic operations which will considerably facilitate the citizens' communication with the state and will reduce the corruption risks. The EU will allocate EUR1.3mln to the implementation of the program.

Presenting the program, head of the Staff of Armenian government David Sargsyan stated that in 2013-2014, the government will introduce 7 new e-management systems including - digitization of archives, e-mail for all Armenian citizens for facilitation of their interaction with the state, system of e-registration of the acts of civil status, statistical e-reports, e-healthcare system as well as e-consulate which will allow extending the validity period of the Armenian citizen’s passports abroad in 15 minutes, for instance.

David Sargsyan also presented the e-management systems introduced earlier.

"As a result of the "one window" system introduction, 10% of registration of legal entities are realized on-line, 65% of companies are registered in less than 30 minutes and 85% of individual enterpreneurs - within less than 10 minutes. The introduction of "one window" system allowed registering cars for 24minutes on average in case of transport registration", said David Sargsyan.

He also noted that as a result of the introduction of the electronic system of tax declarations, 15 675 taxpayers presented e-reports this year.

Supervisor of "Armenia-Development of E-Management System" Ivar Tallon noted  that only a few number of taxpayers presented e-reports in his country, Estonia, 10 years ago, and now the index reached 94%.
