Production, import and export of mercury, mercury compounds and products with mercury additives will be banned in Armenia.
Deputy Minister of Environment Gayane Gabrielyan spoke with Channel One about the draft law "On Mercury".
"The need to develop a draft law of the Republic of Armenia "On Mercury" comes from the commitments undertaken by Armenia under the Minamata Convention "On Mercury", ratified in 2017.
The purpose of the Convention is to preserve human health and the environment from anthropogenic effects of mercury and mercury compounds.
