ArmInfo. Chairman of the State Revenue Committee of the Republic of Armenia Eduard Hakobyan, on behalf of the Republic of Armenia, will sign documents in Brussels on the country's accession to the EU's Fiscalis and Customs programs. The decision to send the head of the State Revenue Committee to Belgium was signed by RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
The government's press service stated that the Armenian delegation, headed by Hakobyan, will be on a mission from November 11 to 13.
The Fiscalis program is a large-scale EU tax initiative with a budget of approximately €269 million. It aims to strengthen the single market, combat tax fraud and tax evasion, and improve tax collection. The program is open not only to EU member states but also to candidate countries and states included in the European Neighborhood Policy, which includes Armenia. Participation in such initiatives allows Armenian specialists to coordinate tax policies with European standards, develop joint IT systems, and exchange experience with their European colleagues.
The Customs Programme is a key financial instrument of the European Union, with a budget of approximately €950 million, aimed at supporting the EU Customs Union, modernizing customs procedures, and strengthening cooperation between national customs authorities.
