RA Public Services Regulation Committee-ratified gas tariff increase will come into effect on Apr.1, 2009. "Gas tariff increase can't but affect the pricing for other products and services. Still, the amount of gas used will be proportional to possible price rise." RA Transport Minister Gurgen Sargsyan told a news conference on Saturday.

"A right to effect public transportations is granted at tenders, where the winner should maintain obligatory transportation price, as stipulated in tender agreement. If market situation changes, companies should file new applications for revision of stipulated conditions.

''Yet, so far, no application was submitted,'' Sargsyan informed.
