19 May 2023 EAEU countries converge positions on establishing common markets for gas, oil and petroleum products A meeting of the Council of Heads of Authorized Energy Authorities of the Eurasian Economic Union States chaired by Arzybek Kozhoshev, Minister in charge of Energy and Infrastructure of the Eurasian Economic Commission, was held on May 16-17. During the meeting, the Heads of the Ministries of Energy of the Eurasian "five" discussed the most relevant matters of establishing a common gas market and common markets for oil and petroleum products, the operation of a common electric power market, rules of mutual trade and functions of the operator of centralized electric power trade on a day-ahead basis. Arzybek Kozhoshev has noted the need to resolve issues on which the parties have long been unable to reach consensus, as well as their readiness for a constructive dialogue: “The search for solutions on issues sensitive to the parties will continue both on a bilateral basis and at a higher level in order to finalize and adopt fundamental documents on common markets as soon as possible”. The Ministers of Energy of the EAEU countries proposed to strengthen interaction within bilateral consultations on settling individual issues of the common energy markets' functioning. During the meeting, Arzybek Kozhoshev also noted the contribution of Viktor Karankevich, Minister of Energy of the Republic of Belarus, to developing the Eurasian integration and presented him with a commemorative lapel badge on behalf of the Eurasian Economic Commission.
15 May 2023 EEC considered documents ensuring integration development in transport Implementing the Main Directions of Transport Policy were considered at a meeting of the Advisory Committee on Transport and Infrastructure of the Eurasian Economic Commission held on May 15. Elena Valenta, Acting Director of the Transport and Infrastructure Department, who chaired the meeting, informed the attendees on the integration work in the Eurasian Economic Union, carried out in a planned manner in accordance with the roadmap for 2021-2023, outlined specific aspects and challenges of preparing individual draft documents, as well as announced the beginning of work on preparing a roadmap for the next three-year period - 2024-2026.  Elena Valenta has noted that the content of the new roadmap requires special attention - this document should be aimed at deepening integration processes in accordance with the transport policy milestones. The key issues at the meeting were the civil aviation development. These included the areas of legal harmonization, approaches to ensuring fair and bona fide competition and the extension of air service.  The Committee approved the reports resulting from the analytical work to assess the feasibility of concluding agreements in the field of airworthiness and flight safety, as well as the feasibility of elaborating and concluding an international treaty on the establishment and functioning of the EAEU common market for air transport services.  The participants of the Committee's meeting paid special attention to the progress on the draft Comprehensive Plan for developing the Eurasian transport corridors. The document on infrastructure development is one of the priorities of the joint actions of the parties and the Commission and is designed to determine possibilities and prospects for coordinated interaction in light of changing directions of transport corridors and routes, and the logistics of commodity flows.  The meeting attendees also discussed some issues of inland navigation, and the development of international cooperation. Concluding the event, Elena Valenta noted the importance of prompt resolution of relevant matters in integration of the EAEU transportation industry. A number of discussed issues will be included in the agenda of the meeting of the Council of Heads of Authorized Bodies in the Field of Transport of the EAEU Member States.
19 Apr 2023 EEC prepared document that ensures implementing unified principles and rules for regulating natural monopoly activities On April 19, the Eurasian Economic Commission's Board adopted a recommendation providing a common approach to applying regulation principles and rules for ensuring access in the sphere of natural monopolies established by Annex No. 20 to the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union.    The document is intended to provide information and clarification, which contributes to fulfilling the Action Plan for implementing the Strategic Directions for Developing the Eurasian Economic Integration until 2025 in terms of preparing documents aimed at the uniform application of the Union's law. “A common understanding of the principles to be contained in the norms and provisions of national legislation will help eliminate possible discriminatory conditions for access to regulated services,” noted Arzybek Kozhoshev, EEC Minister in charge of Energy and Infrastructure.   The adopted document will help consumers and the business community to develop a more precise understanding of the approaches and principles applied in the state regulation of natural monopoly services, thereby increasing their accessibility.  For reference Paragraph 9 of the Roadmap for sequencing the harmonization of the EAEU States' legislation in the sphere of natural monopolies (approved by the EEC Council in December 2017) envisages the adoption of the Board’s recommendation “On applying unified principles and rules for regulating activities of the Eurasian Economic Union Member States’ natural monopoly entities".  
18 Apr 2023 Arzybek Kozhoshev attended China-Russia Industrial and Investment Cooperation Forum On April 17, Arzybek Kozhoshev, Minister in charge of Energy and Infrastructure of the Eurasian Economic Commission, attended the China-Russia Industrial and Investment Cooperation Forum. “Nowadays, the People's Republic of China is one of the Union's main strategic partners. At year-end 2022, the trade turnover between the Eurasian Economic Union countries and the PRC exceeded 200 bln dollars, and the share of China in the EAEU's total foreign trade increased to 23%,” the EEC Minister noted.   Arzybek Kozhoshev has expressed a belief that developing transport infrastructure in the Member States' territory in the East-West and North-South directions is of particular importance in intensifying work with the PRC, including as part of coupling with the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative. Arzybek Kozhoshev separately noted the importance of the Priority Action Plan for digitizing freight carriage by rail between the EAEU and the PRC. The Plan envisages measures to switch to a comprehensive electronic technology for transporting goods by rail during bilateral and transit transportation between the EAEU States, and in the future - with third countries, in particular with the People's Republic of China. Besides, the speech touched on the formation of an ecosystem of digital transport corridors aimed at developing relations between the EAEU countries and China within the Agreement on Trade and Economic Cooperation, as well as issues of attracting investments and the importance of innovations in developing transport and logistics activities. Arzybek Kozhoshev has informed representatives of the Chinese business community that transportation activities are planned to be jointly supported by the Commission and the Union countries by implementing such measures as the launch of digital customs and digital trade, marking of goods, and ensuring the traceability of goods and transport. The EEC speaker gave a brief view of the EAEU integration projects in the energy sector, touching, first of all, on establishing the Union's common electric power markets. He greatly emphasized the work on using renewable energy sources and the associated decarbonization process, as well as the need to develop and implement joint low-carbon technologies in the EAEU. In conclusion, Arzybek Kozhoshev invited representatives of the Chinese side to take part in the Eurasian Economic Forum and the Eurasian Congress in June this year in Sochi.
