«To register in TRACES, it is necessary for operators to submit an application to the Food Safety Inspection Body of the Republic of Armenia. The application can be submitted both in paper form and electronically,» said Tigran Petrosyan.
According to the procedure, the applications of the operators will be reviewed within 5 working days, after which an inspection will be carried out at the operator's location, and then the inspector will prepare a report on compliance with the requirements. If no issues are identified, the organization will be registered in the TRACES system.
