Создание наднационального антимонопольного органа, который начал действовать 1 января, ввело в завершающий этап процесс формирования правовой базы для обеспечения равных условий конкуренции на трансграничном рынке ЕАЭС. О дальнейших перспективах развития зоны свободной торговли и ее выгодах рассказал министр по конкуренции и антимонопольному регулированию Евразийской экономической комиссии Нурлан Алдабергенов.

Presentation of the model competition law, the first Customs Union Law, is appointed for July. This document contains provisions that could seem severe in relation to business of the CU countries. However, Nurlan Aldabergenov, Minister of the Eurasian Economic Commission on Competition and Antitrust Regulation, is sure about the necessity of adoption of those provisions. In addition to the specifics of the new law, the Minister told Къ about the competitive situation in the CU countries, Commission actions with regard to barriers in mutual trade, and creation of a supranational antitrust authority.

​​ Евразийская экономическая комиссия (ЕЭК) оказалась в эпицентре борьбы "белых" и "серых" продавцов. Общие антимонопольные правила игры, которые нынче готовит ЕЭК, предлагают легализовать в странах Таможенного альянса параллельный импорт, чтобы покупатели смогли приобретать известные бренды за дорого и не очень, как за рубежом. Дилеры-транснационалы нервничают, потребители предвкушают, а интеграторы планируют найти соломоново решение завтра на конференции в Астане, где будет представлен проект модельного закона о конкуренции. Подробности об этом и о многих других аспектах закона по созданию единого антимонопольного пространства Казахстана, России и Беларуси в эксклюзивном интервью "ЭК" министра ЕЭК по конкуренции и антимонопольному регулированию Нурлана Алдабергенова (на фото).

Interview by the Minister for Competition and Antitrust Regulation Nurlan Aldabergenov to Kazakhstan Today News Agency

By the middle of the next year, all Customs Union member-states will comply with the Model Law On Competition. The world practice knows no cases when the antitrust agencies of different states apply the same principles. In his interview to BNews.kz, the Member of the Board (Minister) for Competition and Antirust Regulation of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) Nurlan Aldabergenov told about the progress in harmonization of the legislative frameworks of Kazakhstan, Russia and Belarus.

The Customs Union of the three states – Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia – evolves and acquires a clear shape. The Common Economic Space is now really uniting enterprises and industries in various areas, and brings together the peoples who were locked in their national flats 20 years ago. Figuratively, this important process can be compared with how one makes door openings that are needed so much to enable communication. The ties between neighbours and states move to a totally new level of quality.

The law making activity in the Common Economic Space member-states is carried out in line with the schedule. According to Nurlan Aldabergenov, the Member of the Board (Minister) for Competition and Antitrust Regulation of the Eurasian Economic Commission, harmonizing legislation and increasing competitiveness of domestic manufacturers and service providers will be the top-priority goals.

Beginning with February, the supranational body of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) became operational, being the only regulatory body of the Customs Union and Common Economic Area embracing the Republic of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russian Federation.

Our guest answers the core question on how to distinguish the competence of the Commission and that of the national antimonopoly authorities.

According to Nurlan Aldabergenov, Minister for Competition and Antimonopoly Regulation of the Eurasian Economic Commission, the Customs Union demonstrates benefits for the Kazakh consumers and producers.
