The launch of the RA draft law on Making Amendments and Addenda to the RA Law on State Duty stems from Article 25 of the Treaty of the EAEU Trademark, according to which, the member states set the kinds of the registration of the trademarks of the Union and place names of the goods origin of the Union, the legal protection and in case of use the actions of legal importance, as well as the amount of the duties being paid during the fulfilment of the actions. There was a preliminary proposal related to the amount of the duties by the EAEU Commission, harmonizing it with the inner duties in force in the national procedures, as well as similar regulations of other member countries. The RA Deputy Minister of Economy Rafael Grigoryan said about this.

At February 6 sitting of the Standing Committee on Regional and Eurasian Integration the draft law on Making Amendments and Addenda to the law on State Duty was debated in the first reading.

The RA Deputy Minister of Economy Rafael Grigoryan presented for debate in the second reading the draft law on Making Addenda and Amendments to the Law on State Duty. According to the key rapporteur, a number of amendments and addenda of technical character were made.

The debated drafts were endorsed.

The debate of the package of draft laws on Making Amendments and Addenda to the Law on Trademarks and on Amending the RA Civil Code was postponed up to two months.
