The use of innovative technologies in searches for jobs within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) was one of the topics discussed at the fifth meeting of the Advisory Committee for Migration Policy under the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC). This approach will allow applicants wishing to find employment in the EAEU States to be answered where their services can be demanded.​ The use of innovative technologies in searches for jobs within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) was one of the topics discussed at the fifth meeting of the Advisory Committee for Migration Policy under the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC). This approach will allow applicants wishing to find employment in the EAEU States to be answered where their services can be demanded.   To achieve that, it is planned to elaborate a legal act regulating the issues of organized recruitment of workers within the Union. It will be prepared by a Working group for the development of mechanisms for the formation and development of a common labor market within the EAEU. The event, which was attended by representatives of the authorized authorities of the EAEU in the sphere of migration and experts, was held in Moscow under the chairmanship of Timur Zhaksylykov, Member of the Board – Minister in charge of Economy and Financial Policy of the EEC. “The Treaty on the EAEU has formalized conditions for free movement of labor resources in our integration association. The existing norms have significantly improved the legal situation, removed a significant part of restrictions on admission to the common labor market and increased the level of social protection of workers,” the EEC Minister said. “However, while our nationals cannot get all the benefits of economic integration, there are still a number of barriers. In this regard, we have a task to further improve the functioning of the common labor market of the EAEU and, in particular, to establish cooperation between the Member States in the sphere of assistance to the organized employment of workers in the Union countries. It will help to create favorable conditions for the employment of nationals of our countries.”   The EEC representatives informed the attendees about the work on the draft Agreement on the entry, exit, transit of nationals of the Member States of the Eurasian Economic Union. The document will contribute to further liberalizing the common labor market and free movement of labor resources within the Union. The Agreement will simplify the procedure for crossing the internal boundaries of the EAEU countries for nationals of these States. If it is adopted, they will be able to enter other countries of the Union according to the documents which conform to international standards. It is supposed to discuss the use of “internal” passports, identity cards and ID cards at the boundaries of the EAEU.   The attendees of the meeting were provided with some information on the process of development by the Union countries of bilateral international agreements on the procedure for mutual stay of nationals of the Member States and readmission. Signing of such agreements between Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, on the one hand, and other EAEU countries, on the other hand, is provided for by paragraphs of the “Road maps” on the accession of the Republic of Armenia and the Kyrgyz Republic to the Eurasian Economic Union, approved by the Presidents of the Member States. Bilateral agreements on migration rules of nationals will regulate the period of their stay without registration within 30 days from the date of entry. The Union countries are recommended to strengthen their efforts in this direction.   The Members of the Advisory Committee discussed the principles and mechanisms of statistical recording in the sphere of labor migration in the Member States. It is proposed to expand the composition of statistical data submitted to the Commission. Besides information on the number of nationals of the Union countries engaged in employment in the EAEU States, the EEC can additionally report such data as age and gender of workers of the Member States; their distribution by forms of employment and hiring; duration of employment; employment by industry type; educational and professional qualification characteristics of workers, etc. The States have assumed to provide a list of information which they can send to the Commission.   This will allow to make more complete and exact assessment of mutual flows of workers, perform the required analytical work in this direction,” the EEC Minister Timur Zhaksylykov said. The Member of the Board awarded the representative of the Union of experts and consultants in the sphere of labor migration “International Alliance “Labor migration” with a diploma of the Chairman of the EEC Board and prize for winning the competition of PR and media projects to promote the integration “Eurasian Communications – 2017” in nomination of “Labor Migration”. The Chairman of the Advisory Committee noted the organization’s contribution to the implementation of projects aimed at adaptation and support of labor migration, informational coverage of opportunities for workers. The competition was held by the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) together with the Business Council of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and the Russian Association for Public Relations (RASA) at the II International Exhibition Forum “Eurasian Week” in August this year in Astana. The purpose of the competition is to develop the Eurasian communications, seek for the best practices of the Eurasian business and promote the idea of the Eurasian integration.
