Tried to take money from government?
The government will provide drivers of cars with Georgian state license numbers with special 6-month loans for customs clearance.
During today's government session, RA Minister of Finance Vache Gabrielyan announced that the government will take on the burden of all functions and create less trouble for citizens.
This comes after numerous protests in relation to the customs clearance in Gyumri and Vanadzor.
A 100% purposeful loan will be granted for drivers of cars that have a customs price lower than 5 million drams and have been produced before 2005.
According to Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan, the government is trying to support the 2,000 insecure drivers who are not able to pay the customs clearance fees for their cars. To this day, 438 drivers have not been able to pay the customs clearance fee for their cars ever since the changes in the customs code went into effect on February 5.
The government today also gave consent to RA Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Artur Grigoryan's draft law on making changes in and additions to the RA law "On Temporary Disability Benefits".
According to the changes, the maximum threshold for average monthly salaries accepted as a basis for estimating the pregnancy and childbirth benefits for hired workers will be lifted, though it will be maintained for other benefits.
Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan added that this draft law has been agreed with all interested parties and their opinions have been taken into account.
"Armenia has registered serious violations and those mechanisms were aimed at taking money from the government. Our solution was very coarse, but we solved that issue," said the prime minister.
In addition, the government decided to change the order of technical check-ups of agricultural equipment. "We are lifting that burden off of farmers' shoulders. Our studies have shown that that is fictive in Armenia and it is technically impossible."
