The Armenian Government rejected the submission of RA draft law "On Ecosystem Services" to the National Assembly. Instead, it was decided to develop a concept paper on the introduction of ecosystem services.
The difference is obvious: the law should have regulated the ecosystem services provided through environmental, social and other value ecosystems, relations connected with their provision and purchase, which are mandatory for implementation, meanwhile a concept paper has declarative nature and doesn't obligate anything.
According to the Armenian Government, 'The adoption of a law is not timely for Armenia...the introduction of the ecosystem service system can cause additional financial burden for ecosystem users under the current conditions of economic development in Armenia.'
