From this point of view, we pay attention to the decisions Armenia makes in the regulatory and legal spheres. There are some government acts that raise questions for us," said Overchuk.

According to him, this concerns food products certified in accordance with the standards of the European Union, the United States, and other countries that do not comply with Eurasian Economic Union certification standards.
