ArmInfo.Vehicles engaged in international passenger and freight transportation will need to be equipped with tachographs that provide continuous and non-correctable information about the speed and movement of the route, the mode of work and rest of the driver.
A similar legislative initiative during the May 20 sitting of the RA NA Standing Committee on Economic Affairs was presented by deputies from the Prosperous Armenia faction Arthur Dallakyan, Artyom Tsarukyan and Arthur Grigoryan. With regard to passenger traffic, as deputies noted, we are talking about vehicles with more than 6 seats in addition to the driver's seat.
In addition, the bill provides for the introduction of a mandatory vehicle insurance institution along with its passengers. <Insurance does not require identification of citizens in a vehicle. The company, for example, enters into an insurance contract for a year, and in the event of an accident, the financial responsibility falls entirely on the shoulders of the insurance company>, said Artem Tsarukyan.
The second bill, the deputies proposed to introduce a mandatory check of vehicles at the border when entering or leaving the country, including the presence of a tachograph.
<That is, 2 bills set one task - to ensure timely rest and work of the driver, timely maintenance of the vehicle. And it is important that the passenger will be sure that he is insured, that everything is clearly checked, regulated and he will get to the necessary point>, the deputy said.
It is noteworthy that the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructures of the Republic of Armenia developed a similar legislative initiative. The difference of the initiative is the inclusion in the draft law and the implementation of domestic transportation. At the same time, it was considered by the state agency to join the Green Card international insurance system, of which 48 countries are members Following the meeting, the Commission voted in favor of the bill on first reading by the deputies of the Prosperous Armenia faction regarding tachographs and insurance. However, the question of conducting checks at the border, according to the head of the Commission, Babken Tunyan, due to disagreements, needs additional working discussions, after which it will again be submitted for consideration during the meeting.
