    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ 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,
    AEPLAC press service reported.

    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.
