23 Apr 2025 EEC Held Seminar on Developing Industrial and Agricultural Cooperation with Iran On April 23, the Eurasian Economic Commission hosted a seminar co-chaired by Andrey Slepnev, EEC Minister in charge of Trade, and Gohar Barseghyan, EEC Minister in charge of Industry and Agriculture, and dedicated to the prospects of cooperation with Iran in the field of industry and agriculture, including business participation in special economic zones in the EAEU and Iran. The event was organized in anticipation of the entry into force of the full-scale Free Trade Agreement between the Eurasian Economic Union and the Islamic Republic of Iran. "Such seminars represent an effective platform where there is a possibility to discuss both problematic issues and those areas that could become a new point of growth in the development of our trade and economic relations," said Andrey Slepnev. He emphasized that once the Agreement comes into force on May 15 this year, companies from the EAEU countries will have unique conditions of access to the Iranian market and expressed hope that the parties will take full advantage of the emerging prospects, including in terms of establishing industrial cooperation. The agreement, in particular, provides for the creation of a number of dialogue instruments through which the business circles of the EAEU and Iran will be able to discuss various cooperation areas of mutual interest. "Within sectoral cooperation, we see significant potential in the interaction of industrial and agricultural enterprises, the development of scientific research, technology and innovation, and the expansion of cooperative ties. The EAEU states have great economic potential, while the availability of resources and joint actions open up possibilities to boost the mutual trade turnover of the Member States with Iran, increase the volume of competitive industrial output and develop exports of high-tech products," Gohar Barseghyan noted. The most promising areas of interaction with Iranian partners in the field of industry and agriculture are planned to be included in the draft Joint Action Plan (Road Map) on trade and economic cooperation between the EAEU, its Member States and Iran, which is aimed at implementing the provisions of the Agreement. The seminar was attended by representatives of government agencies, business associations and companies of the EAEU countries representing various industries and branches of agriculture and interested in developing cooperation with Iranian partners and entering the Iranian market.
22 Apr 2025 Andrey Slepnev Discussed EAEU-Iran Trade Facilitation with Mir Business Bank Management and Russian-Iranian Business Council The Eurasian Economic Commission hosted a working meeting between Andrey Slepnev, EEC Minister in charge of Trade, Mohammad Esmail Hazzar, CEO of Mir Business Bank JSC, and representatives of the Russian-Iranian Business Council. "The Member States of the Eurasian Economic Union and our entrepreneurs have a great interest in using the instruments of the full-fledged Free Trade Agreement with Iran, which comes into force on May 15, to work in the Iranian market," said Andrey Slepnev. At the same time, he said, there are many specific trade facilitation initiatives that businesses are putting forward, including those related to removing certain barriers in Iran, such as border crossing and infrastructure restrictions. At the same time, one of the topics raised by almost all EAEU companies is the problem of mutual settlements. As the Commission, jointly with the Union countries, is now preparing for the entry into force of the new Agreement, it was proposed to exchange views on relevant matters. After elaboration of the proposals made, they may be included in the draft Joint Action Plan (Road Map) on Trade and Economic Cooperation between the EAEU, its Member States and Iran aimed at implementing the provisions of the Agreement.
11 Apr 2025 EEC held seminar on developing cooperation on technical regulation with Iran The Eurasian Economic Commission held a seminar under the chairmanship of Andrey Slepnev, EEC Minister in charge of Trade, and Valentin Tataritsky, EEC Minister in charge Technical Regulation, on the prospects of cooperation with Iran in the field of technical regulation, turnover of medicines and medical products. The meeting was held ahead of the enactment of the Free Trade Agreement between the Eurasian Economic Union and the Islamic Republic of Iran on May 15 this year. The seminar was attended by representatives of government agencies, business associations and companies of the EAEU countries interested in developing cooperation with Iranian partners and entering the Iranian market. "The Iranian party expressed interest in the convergence of regulatory approaches to clinical trials and registration of pharmaceutical products. For our part, we see the interest of the business community in the Iranian party eliminating technical barriers to the access of wheeled vehicles, as well as medical equipment," mentioned Andrey Slepnev. According to him, the improved regulatory part of the Agreement regarding technical barriers to trade fully complies with the rules of the World Trade Organization, which is especially important given that Iran is not a member of this international organization. "The most practice-oriented mechanism for settling the problems of product access to the Iranian market for our entities appears to be the working group on technical barriers to trade. The Agreement provides for the establishment of such a thematic group. The working group can consider specific export cases of our organizations related to technical requirements in Iran or conformity assessment procedures and try to reach some selective agreements," noted Valentin Tataritsky. He proposed that the full range of possibilities available to address technical barriers to trade should be considered, including bilateral agreements of the Union States with Iran. The most promising areas of interaction with Iranian partners in the field of technical regulation are planned to be included in the draft Joint Action Plan (Road Map) on trade and economic cooperation between the EAEU, its Member States and Iran, which is currently under development and is aimed at implementing the provisions of the Agreement.
