Intergovernmental council of EAEU held in St. Petersburg

Digital development of the EAEU countries, the formation of a common gas market, interaction in the energy and transport sectors, as well as other issues of the Eurasian Economic Union were discussed by the Prime Ministers of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia.

The intergovernmental council of the EAEU was held in St. Petersburg. The agenda includes about 2 dozens of issues important for the Union. One of them is the creation of a unified system for the transit of goods across the customs territory of the EAEU. All products must be marked with a special identification system. Information about them is entered in a single register. This allows for tracing their movement, and, consequently, ensures equal conditions for competition, improves the quality of goods, helps fight the gray market and counterfeit goods. The next meeting of the intergovernmental council of the Eurasian Economic Union will be held in October in Minsk.
