The document purpose is to ensure equal
access to public procurement in the EAEU for suppliers from all Union
countries. Adopting the Rules enables to create incentives for industrial
cooperation within the EAEU, increasing the localization of production and
attracting investment.
The Rules provide for maintaining the
Eurasian register of industrial goods of the EAEU Member States by the
Commission. The goods will be included in the register based on appraisal
certificates issued by national authorized bodies or organizations of the Union
countries.
The document contains a list of
conditions, production and manufacturing operations under which the goods shall
be considered as originating from the EAEU Member States. These requirements
will apply to 255 types of goods in a number of industries, including machine
tool engineering, power and special engineering, electrical and cable industry;
light industry; production of compressor and refrigerating equipment; furniture
and timber manufacturing industry; chemical and petrochemical industry.
Following consideration of this issue at
the Intergovernmental Council, the Russian Federation will extend the procedure
for allowing the Union countries’ industrial products to participate in public
procurement in 2020 until July 1, 2021 to preserve the access of the Member
States’ goods to the Russian public procurement. The activities on determining
the required level of production and manufacturing operations for certain types
of products for public procurement purposes will continue after adopting the
Rules. The list of relevant goods will be updated in the future based on
proposals of the States and the business community. The Commission has
expressed interest in entertaining opinions of all participants based on
transparency and openness of the list.
