ArmInfo. In Armenia, products will be marked with digital identification means for export to the market of the Eurasian Economic Union. The corresponding decision was made by the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Armenia at its regular meeting on February 6.
According to the Chairman of the State Revenue Committee Eduard Hakobyan, the project involves the market of alcoholic beverages, water, tobacco, and other goods subject to marking. According to him, the old system did not ensure traceability of goods - marking was done by the importer and the manufacturer. However, under the new agreement of the Eurasian Economic Union, the Republic of Armenia already in 2018, Armenia, along with other member states, was obligated to implement a new system for marking products with identification means. According to Akopyan, this new system will enable the state to accurately track the movement of products and control the shadow economy.
