ArmInfo.In Armenia, the procedure for submitting documents to the RA Police on concluding an agreement on Compulsory Motor Third Party Liability (CMPTL) for fined drivers will be simplified. At the plenary session on December 8, the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia is discussing amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses in the first reading.
According to the author of the initiative, MP from the ruling Civil Contract faction Eduard Aghajanyan, the current law establishes that in the absence of an CMPTL agreement, drivers are fined in the amount of 100 thousand drams, but if within 24 hours the agreement is concluded and submitted to the Ministry of Internal Affairs or to an employee of the Patrol Service, then citizens can pay 25 thousand drams allone. Now it is proposed to exclude these requests, since the Ministry of Internal Affairs receives all the necessary data by e-mail. Aghajanyan noted that drivers are often forced to rush around the city to find a patrol officers to present them with the relevant document. Now there will be no need for this.
In turn, Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Armenia Arpine Sargsyan pointed out the importance of fixing the deadlines for its application in the document so that the software is developed and applied in a timely manner.
