A fine will have to be paid in Armenia for each ton of excess weight by companies and legal entities involved in the transportation of goods if the vehicles in their possession are overloaded. This was said on Wednesday by Armen Danielyan, the acting head of the Office for the Coordination of Inspection Authorities of the Prime Minister’s Office, at the meeting of the parliamentary standing committee on economic issues in the National Assembly during the discussion of the bill on amendments to the Code of Administrative Offences.
According to him, they will impose the fine only in certain cases, for example, in case of the trucks’ appearance on the roads or highways of national importance. Meanwhile, it was clarified by Danielyan that such a penalty mechanism already exists and they successfully use it in the republic. Its only drawback is that the overload of a particular vehicle is not taken into account while imposing the above-mentioned fine. It means that they don’t take into account the weight on the part of inspection officials, so, the limit specified by the current legislation can be significantly exceeded, and the offender may subsequently pay only a one-time fine.
They propose to impose a fine for every extra ton of cargo, what will make it huge. According to the official, it will be 200 thousand drams for each ton, while at the moment the level of violation is not taken into account when they pay the amount.
Danielyan assured that the asphalt surface of the republic’s roads will be maintained at the proper level of quality and will be ridded of accelerated wear and tear by the stricter legislation. This process is significantly accelerated by the large weight of bulky vehicles loaded with various kinds of products. Additional costs from the state arise from there, as an impressive amount of money is required for the proper maintenance of highways.
A positive conclusion of the parliamentary commission was received by the legislative initiative after a relatively short discussion.

Permission to export planting material of nut-trees to the European Union member states was granted to Moldova. The recommendation to interested people to negotiate with partners about commercial relations on the delivery of the product to the European Union was given by the National Food Safety Agency (ANSA) on 12 October.
According to the Agriculture and Food Industry Ministry, the amendments made to the European Union’s legislation permit to import grafted plants of Juglans regia L. (nut-tree) and mother/father plants of up to two years, with naked roots, in vegetative repose, without leaves from Moldova.
The right to export apple (Malus domestica) planting material to the European Union in the next three years was obtained by Moldova last August.
An efficient cooperation, at the technical level, between ANSA and the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety, through the light of numerous exchanges of information and technical discussions with European experts made that possible.

An agricultural household that owns 19 hectares of orchards is run by Igor Ivanov from Mălăiesti, Orhei. The farmer had to plant new trees of a different generation to export fruit to the community market. Three loads of plums were delivered by him to Germany last year, but for that international certifications were needed, and certain sanitary requirements had to be complied with, according to the government’s communication and protocol department.
According to the entrepreneur, the apples harvested from an orchard sector went to processing this year, and the trees will be deforested. The farmer argues that they have directly given the apples from the classic orchard to the processing factories for the last two years. Meanwhile, he shows the new orchard, the object of his pride. This super-intensive orchard is equipped with irrigation, hail protection and spring frost protection. A good price for Gala apples is expected this year as well as in the past. As Igor Ivanov said, this apple variety is appreciated on the European market, as well as in the countries of Central Asia. He also underlines higher European requirements compared to our traditional market.
The quotas for several categories of duty-free imported products were more than doubled by the European Union at the request of the Government of the Republic of Moldova in July. It mainly concerned plums, grapes and apples. According to the data of the Ministry of Economy, in recent years the producers in Moldova exported plums and table grapes above the volume of the agreed quotas, assuming the taxes related to the export.
As Minister of Economy Sergiu Gaibu says, they have ensured an increase of more than two and a half times for plums, and it has covered, in fact, all the exports of plums in any direction that Moldovan producers previously made. Negotiations with Egypt concerning apples were also initiated by the Government. The aim is to allow tax-free exports of apples to this country, importing a significant volume of apples.
