David Sargsyan also presented the e-management systems introduced earlier.

\"As a result of the \"one window\" system introduction, 10% of registration of legal entities are realized on-line, 65% of companies are registered in less than 30 minutes and 85% of individual enterpreneurs - within less than 10 minutes. The introduction of \"one window\" system allowed registering cars for 24minutes on average in case of transport registration\", said David Sargsyan.
