10 Sep 2025 Bakhyt Sultanov: “The EAEU countries detected 6.6 mln counterfeit goods as of year-end 2024” The Eurasian Economic Union countries detected 6.6 mln counterfeit goods as of year-end 2024. A total of 1,465 intellectual property violations were registered. These data are reflected in the report on monitoring law enforcement practices in the field of intellectual property rights protection in the EAEU countries for 2024, which was presented at a meeting of the Advisory Committee on Intellectual Property under the EEC Board. As noted by Bakhyt Sultanov, EEC Minister in charge of Economy and Financial Policy, the most often counterfeited goods are those in popular demand. “The anti-rating is led by day-to-day goods: clothing and footwear, household appliances, auto parts, as well as perfumes and cosmetics. These categories are the most exposed to counterfeiters,” the EEC Minister stated. The meeting attendees discussed key initiatives in the field of intellectual property within the EAEU. The focus was on developing coordinated approaches to suppressing violations on the Internet and creating a search service for checking industrial properties. These measures are part of the plan to implement the Strategic Directions for Developing the Eurasian Economic Integration until 2025 and are aimed at creating a safe and transparent environment for businesses and consumers. The meeting also discussed the launch of a Unified Customs Register of Intellectual Property Objects and the introduction of the EAEU system for registering trademarks and appellations of origin of goods. Besides, the possibility was considered to organize electronic information exchange between customs authorities and rightholders and to amend the Agreement on Collective Management of Copyright and Related Rights. The Advisory Committee on Intellectual Property under the EEC Board, which includes heads of relevant ministries and business representatives from participating countries, has been operating since 2012. Its key objective is to elaborate coordinated decisions in the field of IP protection within the EAEU.
10 Sep 2025 Valentin Tataritsky: “Establishing uniform mandatory requirements to food products helps remove technical barriers to trade” Valentin Tataritsky, Minister in charge of Technical Regulation of the Eurasian Economic Commission, informed on the uniform regulatory system in food safety adopted within the Eurasian Economic Union, the need to enhance the role of standardization, and the importance of protecting the common market from unsafe products at the Third Regional Dairy Forum of the EAEU Food Congress in Sochi. “Establishing uniform mandatory requirements to food products helps remove technical barriers to trade and create conditions for the production of export-oriented and innovative products,” the EEC Minister emphasized. Valentin Tataritsky separately highlighted issues concerning the establishment of mandatory requirements to dairy products, their production processes, marking, and sale in the EAEU technical regulations, and reported on the changes made thereto and new requirements to safety indicators. According to the EEC Minister, this ensures the possibility of free movement of such goods within the Union. An important part of ensuring food safety, including dairy products, under globalization of trade and related risks is the development and application of SPS measures in the Eurasian Economic Union. “Systematic work is underway to update the common regulatory framework for SPS measures,” Valentin Tataritsky summarized. The Forum was organized by the Southern Dairy Union. Its traditional participants are representatives of the dairy industry from various regions of Russia and relevant public authorities. During the Forum on September 11, employees of the EEC Departments' Technical Regulation Unit will organize a round table to discuss relevant matters on developing food traceability systems and managing veterinary risks when planning the dairy cattle breeding industry.
