15 May 2025 EEC develops interaction with Uzbekistan in food safety The headquarters of the Eurasian Economic Commission hosted a seminar with representatives of the Committee for Sanitary and Epidemiological Welfare and Public Health under the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Uzbekistan, organized by the EEC in accordance with the Memorandum of Cooperation with the Government of Uzbekistan and the relevant joint action plan for 2024-2026. Representatives of authorized authorities and a number of scientific organizations from the Eurasian Economic Union and Uzbekistan discussed ensuring the safety of food and other products in mutual trade. "Our meetings with colleagues from the Republic of Uzbekistan have become regular. They allow getting a lot of useful information and discussing specialized issues," highlighted Vladimir Sinkevich, Director of the EEC Department for Sanitary, Phytosanitary and Veterinary Measures. Saliya Karymbaeva, Deputy Director of the Department, informed the Uzbek counterparts about the approaches to updating sanitary, epidemiological and hygienic safety requirements for products in the EAEU. In turn, the Uzbek side made a presentation on reforming the food safety system in the Republic of Uzbekistan in accordance with the standards established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission. Communication at the seminar was another important step in the development of cooperation between the EEC, sanitary and epidemiological services of Uzbekistan and the Union countries on ensuring food safety, developing joint approaches to the supervision over the circulation of goods and fulfilling scientific potential in this area. "Joint research between Uzbekistan and the EAEU States will be aimed at implementing the principle that underlies the work of sanitary authorities of all countries — the priority of human life and health and the welfare of society as a whole," stressed Nurmat Atabekov, First Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Sanitary and Epidemiological Welfare and Public Health under the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The seminar resulted in noting the need to hold events of this format for the implementation of joint decisions within the EAEU, including with the participation of Observer States.

22 Apr 2025 Information Exchange between Administrator and National Operators of Electronic Vehicle Logbook Systems Discussed in EEC The results of Q1 implementing of agreements on information exchange between the administrator and national operators of systems of electronic logbooks of vehicles, self-propelled machines and other types of machinery were discussed by Valentin Tataritsky, Minister in charge Technical Regulation of the Eurasian Economic Commission, and representatives of authorised bodies of the Eurasian Economic Union countries during a working meeting at the EEC headquarters.

22 Apr 2025 Program to Develop Standards for EAEU Technical Regulations for Natural Combustible Gas Updated The Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission approved an updated program for developing interstate standards to ensure the implementation of the technical regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union on natural combustible gas prepared for transportation and (or) use. The draft updated program was prepared on the initiative of the Russian Federation, taking into account the progress of the existing program, which is currently 78% implemented. In particular, out of 17 planned activities of the current Program, GOSTs have been developed for 13 paragraphs of the document (two GOSTs in 2021, five GOSTs in 2022, five GOSTs in 2023 and one GOST in 2024). The program was supplemented with the positions on developing amendments to the current GOST (due to the need to include in GOST 31371.7-2020 a number of explanations based on the analysis of its implementation practice) and the development of a new GOST (for determining the composition of liquefied natural gas by gas chromatography). Thus, the new version of the program provides for the development of two GOSTs, and two GOSTs are subject to revision (Russia is appointed as the developer).

16 Apr 2025 Valentin Tataritsky: "Goods for children and teenagers must be the safest ones" Valentin Tataritsky, Minister in charge of Technical Regulation of the Eurasian Economic Commission, proposed to improve the safety of products for children and teenagers at the Congress of Children's Goods Industry in Moscow. He is convinced that such goods must be the safest on the market of the Eurasian Economic Union countries. At the Congress, representatives of business and expert community, government agencies and international organizations exchanged opinions on this topic and shared their work experience. Valentin Tataritsky told how the Commission jointly with the Member States establishes and improves the relevant regulatory framework within the EAEU. In the Union documents, he said, the use of modern technologies by manufacturers in making toys, clothing, footwear and other children's and teenage goods should be reflected more widely. At the same time, safety must be paramount. Every child dreams of an interesting, beautiful toy. But, so that such gifts do not disappoint children and parents, let alone cause harm to health, when buying a product, a number of characteristics should be taken into account. In particular, it is the material, shape, odor, which must comply with the established safety requirements and meet certain age criteria. Even the color matters: it should be as close to natural as possible, so it does not disrupt the child's idea of the real world and is not frightening. All necessary requirements are contained in the technical regulation of the Union "On Safety of Toys". Also, the following EAEU technical regulations are in force: "On Safety of Products Intended for Children and Teenagers", "On Safety of Amusement Rides", "On Safety of Equipment for Children's Playgrounds", etc., the requirements of which are fundamental.    The EEC Minister emphasized the need for timely and science-based adjustment of the relevant technical regulations of the Union in accordance with "risks to children's mental health and cognitive development." "The requirements of technical regulations are of a technical nature, which gives us the possibility to assess (test or measure) them in a fairly obvious way," noted the EEC Minister. "At the same time, children's products are of great importance for the intellectual, moral and aesthetic development of children. But there are no requirements in the regulations yet that can address that." Valentin Tataritsky reported on the study of various practices in terms of establishing requirements for children's products, including digital toys and toys with artificial intelligence, excluding negative impact on the children's mind. He dwelt in detail on the example of the European Union "tightening the regulations for children's products" and called on all those interested to evaluate this experience more closely with a view to its possible use in the EAEU. "The Commission is interested in similar activities taking place in our Union. All the more so because the EAEU law has the capacity for timely and prompt adjustment of technical requirements. The new edition of the Procedure for developing technical regulations of the Union and amending them, adopted this year, will ensure accelerated adjustment of these documents and the Unified Sanitary and Epidemiological Requirements based on the R&D results," summarized Valentin Tataritsky.
