The order of getting driving license will be simplified
A government session chaired by the Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan was held today.
The executive, adapting and supplementing his prior decisions, defined the list of the diseases in the presence of which it is prohibited to drive, as well as the order of medical assistance to the victims of the traffic accidents. It is expected that the decision will simplify the examinations and the order of receiving a driving license, the sector will become more transparent, and the citizens will have their rights and legitimate interests provided to the maximum. The Prime Minister expressed confidence that the police will have serious achievements in this field within a short period, as we have had in providing passports, where there is no risk of corruption nowadays. The Prime Minister also informed that the monitoring of the public services goes on.
Taking into consideration the need of mitigating the consequences of the financial crisis in the field of irrigation and in order to support agricultural economies, the government let “Debed-Aghstev” and “Akhuryan-Araks” companies provide irrigation water supplies for washing the salted lands free of charge till May 1st, 2011. To prevent flooding due to the rivers’ overflowing in May, 2011, the Government let the above mentioned companies discharge the water through main channels to the companies that don’t use irrigation water supplies, also free of charge.
The water supplying companies were suggested to provide the land areas up to 10 hectares with irrigation water free of charge in the above mentioned cases.
Summing up the issue, Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan instructed the president of the Water Recourses Committee to cooperate with the Minister of Agriculture of RA and clarify the schedule of the given projects, as well as the numbers of peasant households that will be using these privileges and be provided with irrigation water free of charge.
The executive confirmed the order of the usage of pastures, the requirements of which will increase the yield and rehabilitation of the latters, will allow preventing the deterioration of the quality specifications and environmental conditions as well as preserving the proper sanitation state. This procedure, as Tigran Sargsyan observed, will give the farmers the opportunity to use the pastures without paying the amount of money set by the previous order, about 240 thousand drams each. The Prime Minister instructed to deliver the content of this decision to the communities and peasant economies by means of media.
RA Government decided to offer the President of RA National Assembly to convene a special government sitting on April 15th, 2011 at 12.00 to examine a number of significant law drafts.
