WAS SOLUTION FAIR?
The State Commission for Protection of Economic Competition (SCPEC) has suspended the administrative process launched on the basis of the appeal of the “Pares Armenia” Company. "Pares Armenia," the distributor of “Philip Morris” International, had appealed to the SCPEC to lift the ban on excise stamps imposed by the Customs Committee.
The SCPEC had requested additional documents from the company and elucidation from the Customs Service. According to the company’s notification, the Customs Committee refused to provide excise stamps because the term of the agreement is not clear from the corresponding agreement. According to the same notification, afterwards the company imported another two consignments of cigarettes to Armenia, paid duties and the products were declared but according to the company, the customs committee was not issued, and the ban was not lifted.
The Customs Committee informed the SCPEC that the design of boxes of cigarettes did not comply with the law on advertisement. The committee has inquired with the relevant bodies, and the process will be determined by their conclusion. At the same time, considering that the problem requires time, the company was allowed to get the consignment of cigarettes at the customs service. Since the problem raised by the company has been solved, the SCPEC suspends the process, the SCPEC reports.
By the way, several days ago an agreement was reached to sell the shares of “Pares Armenia” held by the Sukiassian family to the “Sovrano” Company. Philip Morris cigarettes are already sold at shops.
