14 Mar 2025 Vladimir Sinkevich: "Balance of interests of the State, business and society is a key element of the EAEU policy on consumer rights protection" Developing dialogue between the State, business and society was the main purpose of the forum held by the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Astana featuring representatives of the Eurasian Economic Commission. The forum was arranged for the World Consumer Rights Day, which is celebrated annually on March 15 and reminds of the need to protect the interests of citizens and create a safe and fair market. "Consumer protection is one of the important areas of joint work between the Eurasian Economic Union countries and the Commission," mentioned Vladimir Sinkevich, Director of the EEC Department for Sanitary, Phytosanitary and Veterinary Measures. He emphasized that trust of consumers is based not only on the availability of goods and services, but also on confidence in the reliable protection of their rights. Vladimir Sinkevich emphasized the importance of balancing the interests of the state, business and society, calling it a key element of the Union's agreed policy in this area. According to him, the EAEU's topic of the year, "Consumer in the Spotlight: From Balance of Interests to Fair Dispute Settlement", highlights the importance of balance at every stage of interaction between consumer market participants. The discussion covered relevant matters and initiatives in the field of consumer protection. The EEC representatives shared international experience in e-commerce regulation, presented the results of a sociological survey conducted by the Commission and outlined the priority tasks that the EAEU countries are working on to protect the interests of consumers. The Forum became a part of awareness raising work for the population and business, which is carried out in the EAEU in accordance with the Program of Joint Actions by the Member States of the Union in the Field of Consumer Protection.

06 Mar 2025 Commission continues to improve common market for medicines Talgat Momyshev, Director of the Eurasian Economic Commission's Technical Regulation and Accreditation Department, reported on the preliminary performance of the Eurasian Economic Union's common market of medicines and plans for 2025 at the International Eurasian Pharmaceutical Forum in Almaty. In particular, Talgat Momyshev emphasized: "December 31 this year the transition period for submitting requests to join the common market ends. This deadline will not change. However, the conditions for transition in the States concerned are planned to be somewhat relaxed." All EAEU medicine manufacturers have already been given the possibility to make simultaneous amendments to their marketing authorization applications during the compliance procedure, which has simplified their work. Until the end of this year, national marketing authorizations remain valid, and amendments to national dossiers are allowed according to the rules of the EAEU States. Talgat Momyshev noted the work of pharma inspectors of the Member States. In 2025, the first Union's GMP certificates they issued in 2021 will expire. To ensure continuous production and supply of medicinal products to the EAEU common market, manufacturers are invited to submit requests for routine inspections in advance (at least 6–9 months prior the expiration). Then they should make sure they are included in the 2025–2026 inspection plan. This year the Commission plans to continue its large-scale work on updating the regulation of the common market of medicines. It is planned, for example, to clarify the rules for registration and conducting trials of medicinal products, to adopt the rules of GLP-inspections, to update the Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and a number of other acts. The International Eurasian Pharmaceutical Forum is held annually. This year it was dedicated to the development of the pharmaceutical market in the Eurasian space. It was attended by regulators from all EAEU States, as well as representatives of the pharmaceutical business.

It emphasizes the importance of consumer rights protection in developing the EAEU common market. In their joint activities in this field, the Union countries strive to balance the interests of business and society, creating fair and safe conditions for all market participants. The Commission's Board also approved the Member States' general approaches to conducting reviews of consumer protection legislation. The States were recommended to study the completeness and efficiency of relevant regulatory documents to ensure the protection of buyers' safety and health, their economic interests, access to information, and dispute resolution mechanisms. The adopted recommendations are aimed at providing unbiased and systematized information on legal regulation in the field of consumer rights protection. Owing to their application, the Union States will be able to identify existing gaps and adapt their regulations to market changes and public needs. The review results will be considered at meetings of the relevant Advisory Committee to develop solutions aimed at strengthening the protection of citizens' rights. The Board's recommendations were adopted in accordance with the Joint Action Program of the EAEU countries on consumer rights protection.
