Piotr Switalski: We stand on a solid basis (video)
The Armenian government led by Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan has taken a number of steps to improve the business climate in Armenia, Head of the EU Delegation to Armenia, Ambassador Piotr Switalski said on September 15 during the opening of the EU Multi-sectoral trade and investment fair under "Europe in Armenia" Expo. “This mainly concerns tax and customs agencies. I hear the opinion of European business companies on the issue. This is the right direction, but it is necessary to find other opportunities as well,” Mr. Switalski said adding that the European Union would assist the Armenian government in attracting new European businesses to Armenia. “Measures aimed at ensuring independence of the judicial system and fight against corruption are very important in this context. We encourage the Armenian leadership to be more active, especially in attracting foreign capital. States compete with each other to attract investments. Only active participation can bring more investments from Europe,” he added. The Ambassador says the most important is peace as business likes stability and peace. “This is the direction that Armenia is going along with us, and we stand on a solid basis - to cooperate with Armenia," he said.
