ArmInfo.Armenia and Georgia will exchange preliminary electronic information on the international movement of vehicles and goods. The Commission on Economic Affairs of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia at the September 9 sitting issued a positive opinion on the relevant protocol signed in November 2019.
According to the Deputy Chairman of the RA State Revenue Committee Mikael Pashayan, Yerevan previously signed a similar document with Tehran, which makes it possible to keep an efficient record of vehicles and goods in transit through the territory of Armenia.
The protocol is aimed at effective risk management and joint use of checkpoints Bagratashen (Armenia) - Sadakhlo (Georgia), Ayrum (Armenia) - Sadakhlo (Georgia), Gogavan (Armenia) - Guguti (Georgia), Bavra (Armenia) - Ninotsminda ( Georgia). The parties to the protocol undertake to notify the latter by e- mail in advance, prior to granting permission to enter the territory of the other party for vehicles and goods. This will also make it possible to effectively monitor cargo and vehicles and reduce the time of their inspection.
