YEREVAN, DECEMBER 20, ARMENPRESS: Robert Dayan, head of

standardization, measurement and compliance certification department

of the trade and economic development ministry, reiterated today that

beginning from January 1, 2007 forty types of imported foodstuff must

have mandatory Armenian language marking.

 

He said subject to mandatory Armenian language marking are chicken

meat, eggs, meat products, sausages, meat cans, dairy products,

confectionaries, teas and coffees, chocolates, vegetables, jams

and others.

 

The list of these products was approved by the government in April,

2006. Other imported foodstuffs, not included in this list, will be

subjected to obligatory marking as of June 1, 2007.

 

Dayan said the marking must indicate the name of the product, its

origin country, city, the name of the manufacturing company, when it

is made and the expiry date, as well as its ingredients. He said the

ministry and customs committee had done a great deal of job to inform

Armenian importers about new regulations.

 

He said foodstuff with no Armenian language marking will not be

allowed into the country.

How does one write in Armenian dolma, sarma and kaksturma?

Or shall we invent a new phrase for Turkish Taffy, Turkish Delight, Turkish Coffee, like Turqakan Shaqar, Turqakan Hrjvank, Turqakan Sourj, Turqakan Yoghurt, Turqakan Tsiran.

Have you checked the shelves of your favorite supermarket to see where those SunMark apricots come from? Or, any so called Armenian stores to see where those figs come from?
