    Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan started today's session of
    the government dwelling on the fair economic competition. He
    stated that the government provided the State Commission for the
    Protection of Economic Competition with necessary levers through
    legislative amendments to ensure progress in this field. He asked
    Artak Shaboyan, Chairman of the State Commission for Protection of
    Economic Competition, to report the situation.

    Shaboyan said the committee worked hard and studied 13 commodity
    markets of high concentration. The markets are the food market - egg,
    coffee, butter markets, and non-food markets - cement, alabaster,
    different kinds of building materials, as well as fertilizers. In 9
    months of 2011, the commission succeeded in revealing many issues.

    Prime Minister asked Shaboyan to say what they did in precise. Artak
    Shaboyan answered that they launched administrative proceedings and
    made corresponding decisions holding responsible 86 enterprisers,
    while last year the number was 30. As well as, they manage to collect
    230 million drams of fine, in contrast to the 37 million in 2010,
    10 million in 2009 and 9 million in 2008.

    Prime Minister asked Shaboyan to say whether the fact that they
    collected three-fold more taxes gave any effect. "We are interested
    whether the economic competition improved in the result of fines,
    or the fines just arouse the indignation of those fined. It is
    important to boost the competition", said the Premier. He asked what
    the situation in the mentioned commodity markets is going to be in
    2012 in the result of the events fulfilled by the Commission.

    Shaboyan answered that a part of these markets has been fined and
    administrative proceedings were launched, and all of them are under
    the Commission's daily control. If new breaches are revealed, the
    commission will again be consistent and will hold responsible the
    wrongdoers.

    Tigran Sargsyan concluded that the fair competition in Armenia is
    improving and this is the goal and the priority of the government.
