YEREVAN /ARKA/. The Ministry of Environment of Armenia has submit- ted for public discussion a draft order approving an updated list of active or- ganizations that have a harmful impact on the atmosphere and are subject to state registration. The list attached to the draft in- cludes 2,440 organizations, individual entrepreneurs, and other business en- tities from all regions of Armenia and Yerevan. The draft includes, among others, mining, construction, energy, food, medical, scientific, educational, and public organizations. As noted in the explanatory note to the document, legal entities and indi- vidual entrepreneurs whose activities result in pollutant emissions such that the estimated annual air use exceeds 200 million cubic meters are subject to state registration. The project was developed in com- pliance with the RA Law “On Atmo- spheric Air Protection,” which man- dates the Ministry of Environment to compile and approve a list of enter- prises that have a harmful impact on the atmosphere. According to the document, the list will be updated based on annual ad- ministrative statistical reporting data in accordance with the government de- cree of January 4, 2024. Following the adoption of the de- cree, the authorized body is expected to approve the updated list of enter- prises subject to state registration. The Ministry emphasizes that the project’s implementation will not re- quire additional expenditures from the state or local budgets and will not en- tail changes in budget revenues or ex- penditures. It is also noted that the initiative is not related to the implementation of the Armenia Transformation Strategy 2050, the Government Program for 2021–2026, or other strategic docu- ments. The project has been posted on the unified legal acts portal e-draft.am for public comment. Proposals submit- ted on the platform will be reviewed within two business days, while those received by email will be reviewed within ten business days.
