28 Nov 2023 EEC Council discussed possible measures to ensure balance in durum wheat market of EAEU countries As part of the work to harmonize export regulation measures taken by the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union and ensure proper functioning of the internal market, the Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission considered possible steps to ensure a balanced durum wheat market. Member States are currently discussing the issue of introducing non-tariff regulation measures regarding the export of durum wheat. “According to expert estimates, global production of durum wheat in the current agricultural year may decrease by about 8%, which creates the shortage risk in the market and may lead to an increase in prices for pasta products, which are a socially important type of foodstuffs,” noted Andrey Slepnev, EEC Minister in charge of Trade. “In order to ensure the supply of Russian wheat to other countries of the Union in the amount necessary for domestic consumption, the EEC Council adopted a relevant instruction.”
24 Nov 2023 Amendments to EAEU marking decisions to help ensure free movement of goods in internal market The Eurasian Economic Commission's Council considered the "second package" of amendments to the basic technological organizational model of the EAEU system for marking goods by identification means and earlier decisions of the EEC Council on the introduction of marking in respect of certain categories of goods. "Given the accumulated practice, as well as the expanded number of marked product categories, the Commission has decided to clarify and update the current marking rules. The main objective of such amendments is to ensure the absence of barriers in the Union's internal market, to increase the harmonization of marking procedures in the Member States and to improve information exchange between national operators," emphasized Andrey Slepnev, EEC Minister in charge of Trade.  For this purpose, the following principal amendments were made to the current acts of the Commission's Board: - the provisions of the Basic Model are extended to cases of moving goods subject to marking for purposes other than cross-border trade (for example: presentation at trade fairs or temporary storage in the territory of another Member State); - the possibility of marking goods by a manufacturer from one Member State with the identification means of a customer from another Union country within the "contract manufacturing" (manufacture from raw materials supplied by the customer or under the customer's trademark).  - previously adopted decisions of the Commission's Council on the introduction of marking of certain goods by identification means are brought in line with the Basic Model provisions. The decision shall come into effect after 10 calendar days have elapsed from the date of its official publication.
EAEU to provide tariff exemption for import of cattle meat for industrial processing in 2024 24 Nov 2023 EAEU to provide tariff exemption for import of cattle meat for industrial processing in 2024 The Eurasian Economic Commission's Council has decided to grant a tariff exemption in the form of exemption from import customs duty in respect of certain types of cattle meat intended for the production of meat products. This entailed the possibility of importing these products in 2024 in the following volumes: up to 8.5 ths tons for the Republic of Armenia, up to 7.5 ths tons for the Republic of Belarus, up to 5 ths tons for the Republic of Kazakhstan, up to 3.5 ths tons for the Kyrgyz Republic and up to 100 ths tons for the Russian Federation.  The customs tariff regulation measure is aimed at filling the deficit of raw meat in the Eurasian Economic Union's internal market, developing the production of finished meat and sausage products by processing companies, reducing the cost price of such production, and keeping prices for finished products down. The tariff exemption will be granted in respect of cattle meat intended exclusively for the industrial processing and manufacturing of finished products, provided that the authorized body confirms the intended purpose of the imported goods. Such raw meat does not include high-quality beef, which is mainly produced in the internal market. The deficit of raw meat in the EAEU is compensated mainly by imports from Latin America and India.  The decision of the Commission's Council on this matter stipulates relevant restrictions on the end use of cattle meat, as well as finished products manufactured using it.
24 Nov 2023 Licenses and permits for export and import of goods into EAEU can be obtained electronically The Eurasian Economic Commission's Council approved a new version of the rules for issuing licenses and permits for the export and import of goods subject to non-tariff regulation measures in trade with third countries. It is envisaged that some of the document provisions will be applied as and when the Eurasian Economic Union Member States are prepared for this in accordance with national legislation. For example, the possibility of issuing licenses and permits in the form of an electronic document in automatic mode, if this is provided for by the EAEU country's legislation. In this case, the option of using a mandatory set of information from a foreign trade agreement (contract) also appears. "The rapid development of digitalization necessitates the adoption of such decisions, which will undoubtedly simplify paper-laden processes, as well as positively affect the EAEU business environment," noted Andrey Slepnev, EEC Minister in charge of Trade. In order to prepare the Member States for implementing the new rules, the decision shall come into effect after 60 calendar days have elapsed from the date of enacting the Protocol on Amendments to the Treaty on the EAEU, signed on May 25, 2023 and separating the rules for issuing licenses and permits into a self-contained document.
