ARMENIA ACCORDS ALL ISSUES RELATED TO JOINING CUSTOMS UNION EXCEPT FOR PARALLEL IMPORT

In the framework of joining the Customs Union Armenia has accorded
all issues, except for those related to parallel import, Armenian
Economy Minister Karen Chshmaritian told reporters on Tuesday. As to
the information that the deadline for signing a relevant agreement
is June 1, "whether Armenia concludes the agreement on June 1 or not
depends on the results of the talks," Chshmaritian said.
"No fundamental disagreements exist on the path for signing the
agreement - there are several issues, which can already be considered
accorded. For now several technical issues related to parallel import
have not been resolved. I think that the negotiations will be completed
in the short term," he said.
The list of "sensitive" goods, on which Armenia wants to have customs
duties unchanged, includes over 800 names and agreements on some of
them have already been reached, Chshmaritian said. Armenia said in
September 2013 it intended to join the Customs Union and to participate
in the formation of the Eurasian Economic Union.
A roadmap on Armenia joining the Customs Union and the single economic
space of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia was signed following the
Supreme Eurasian Economic Council meeting held in Moscow on December
24, 2013.
