Bill endorsed: New functions to be given to Military-Industrial Committee

One main problem will be solved with proposing amendments and addenda, i.e. to establish new legal legislative functions for the Military-Industrial Committee. The RA Minister of Hi-Tech Industry Minister Mkhitar Hayrapetyan said this, presenting for debate the draft law On Amendments and Addenda to the law On Military-Industrial Committee during the sitting of the NA Standing Committee on Defense and Security on September 27.

The relations regarding the tests of the results of Research and Experimental Construction Works (RECW) and their acceptance-handover works will be regulated by the initiative in the framework of the submission and approval of draft normative documents for the standardization of military industry products within the framework of the state order for military needs.

The adoption of the draft law will give an opportunity to provide newly created military goods or property to competent government agencies by the results of the RECW in faster and easier procedure for using the defense and security of the Republic of Armenia.

In his co-report the Deputy Chair of the NA Standing Committee on Defense and Security Armen Khachatryan noted that the necessity of the draft has been long ago. He underscored that during the meetings with the military producers the legislative gaps were permanently voiced, and they will be solved by this bill.

The draft law was endorsed.

Let us note that the MPs honored the memory of the Armenian sons fallen in the 44-day war with a minute of silence.
