The Eurasian Economic Commission suggests unifying the list of offshore zones acknowledged by the countries being the member states of the Common Economic Space (CES) in order to minimize tax avoidance within the bounds of the Customs Union.

“Trademark Agreement within the framework of the Common Economic Space can be signed as early as this year” – said Timur Suleimenov, Minister on Economy and Financial Policy of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), to Interfax-Zapad News Agency.

In 2015, national governments of the member states of the Common Economic Space (Russia, Kazakhstan, and Belarus), on which basis the Eurasian Economic Union should be created will consider a possibility of creation of a mega regulator for the common financial market.

Yesterday the Session of the Advisory Committee on Business Issues under the Collegium of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) took place in Dom Sevastyanova (Yekaterinburg).

​​ 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).

One year has passed since the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), a supranational body of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, started to function in Moscow. It is tasked to achieve smooth operation of the Customs Union and bring integration to the level of the Eurasian Economic Union. The initiators of Eurasian integration are not confused with the fact that their example for imitation, the European Union, is having hard times. The Chairman of the EEC Board Viktor Khristenko shared his views on this issue with Itogi Magazine.​

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 first year of operation of the new integration alliance of the Customs Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan – the Common Economic Space – is coming to its end. The supranational regulatory authority, the Eurasian Economic Commission, is working actively, with more new functions delegated to it by the national authorities, and during the next two years, it will have to lay down the foundation for the future Eurasian Economic Space. In particular, during this part of the year the Commission revised the Common Customs Tariff to align it with Russia’s commitments to the WTO, conducted a special protective investigation in relation to import of grain combines and prepared recommendations for the customs services in connection with increased import of consumer goods from China. The EEC Minister for Trade Andrei Slepnyov told Interfax about the results of work, successes and failures, as well as plans for the future.
