      According to the request of the Ministry of Finance AEPLAC is currently preparing the Report on Improvement of State Regulation of the Armenian Jewellery Market. The Report will provide detailed information on the Armenian and the EU Member States’ existing legal and institutional systems regulating the jewellery market, the comparative analysis of these systems, and recommendations aimed at the improvement of the Armenian State regulatory mechanisms. The requirements of the Convention on the Control and Marking of Articles of Precious Metals as well as opportunities and gains of Armenia’s accession to the Convention will also be introduced.
      A letter of appreciation was submitted by the RA Ministry of Finance stating that the report provides for useful information which will be applied during legislative reforms. The Ministry of Finance also requested for further assistance in elaboration of an Action Plan for the approximation of Armenian legislation to those of the EU Member States and for the Armenia’s accession to the Hallmarking Convention.

      The report is based on the EU Guide to Main Administrative Structures Required Implementing the Acquis. This report examines the administrative capacities of the Armenian administrative structures responsible for the implementation, control and enforcement of the legislation in Food Safety, Sanitary and Phytosanitary areas. Institutional and capacity assessment in relation to food safety is combined into the phytosanitary and veterinary sections, taking into account that same institutional and administrative structures in Armenia are responsible for the implementation, control and enforcement of the relevant legislation. The report contains parallel analysis of experiences of EU countries: in terms of policy measures and instruments used in the relevant areas. It includes recommendations aimed at improvement of institutional capacities in Armenia. The report was presented to the beneficiaries during a close workshop, and was revised based on comments and recommendations received from them.

     Successful implementation of the NP is mostly dependant not only on existence of regulating legal framework, but also on existence of the relevant administrative structures and systematic evaluation of administrative capacities of these structures, that will enable objective evaluation of the NP implementation progress, as well as reveal the main problems likely to occur during this process.
