    On February 2, 2010, Armenian-European Policy and Legal Advice Centre
    (AEPLAC) in cooperation with the Ministry of Economy, EU Advisory
    Group to Armenia, German Institute of Metrology (PTB) and The World
    Bank organized a workshop on "Road Map for the Reform of Quality
    Infrastructure".

    The target audience of the workshop were decision-makers of the
    Ministry of Economy, National Institute of Standards, National
    Institute of Metrology, Agency of Accreditation, State Inspectorate
    of Protection of Markets and Consumers Rights.

    The workshop was an important milestone in a coordinated effort
    of international donors to assist Armenia in the reform of the
    quality infrastructure with the objective to raise the international
    competitiveness of its economy and ensure progress toward a Deep and
    Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (DCFTA) with EU.

    Coordinated activities of international donors were initiated in
    July 2009 following the need to create a modern system of quality
    infrastructure in Armenia, which would comply with international
    requirements including EU standards and hence reduce technical barriers
    to trade.

    Since then, an awareness workshop was held, a metrology assessment
    report written and submitted to the Ministry of Economy, road map
    for the reforms drafted, and additional resources for high-quality
    policy advice on respective reform measures convened.

    The workshop discussed draft road map for further QI reforms, which
    guides the Armenian government in the process.

    Raul de Luzenberger, Head of EU Delegation to Armenia and Nerses
    Yeritsyan, Minister of Economy opened the workshop with short remarks.
