13 Oct 2025 EEC updated register of third-party restrictive measures against EAEU and its Member States Following a regular monitoring conducted by the Eurasian Economic Commission it published an updated version of the register of third-party restrictive measures against the Eurasian Economic Union and its Member States on the Trade portal. At present, the register features 280 measures, which might act as barriers to the EAEU foreign trade. As part of the recently held seminar on developing sectoral cooperation and identifying barriers to mutual trade with Mongolia, a new trade barrier was documented. The restriction concerns applying the procedure for issuing permits to import strategic food products (wheat flour, wheat seeds, drinking water, milk and cattle meat) by Mongolia. At the same time, Uzbekistan partially abolished the administrative measure regarding excises. The excise duty on imported white sugar was repealed on October 1, 2025. It is worth mentioning that the Commission maintains a regular dialogue with the Republic of Uzbekistan on abolishing restrictive measures under the Joint Action Plan of the Eurasian Economic Commission and the Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan concluded for 2024–2026. The Commission continues its work to identify and eliminate restrictive measures in trade with third countries. A restrictive measure can be reported via a special form on the portal of the Eurasian Economic Commission.

13 Oct 2025 Arzybek Kozhoshev: "The EAEU is shaping a common transport and logistics space in order to overcome global challenges" This was stated by Arzybek Kozhoshev, Minister in charge of Energy and Infrastructure of the Eurasian Economic Commission, on October 13 at the plenary session of the Eurasian Logistics Day international forum being held in Moscow. The event organizers are the Association of European Businesses (AEB) and the International Coordinating Council on Trans-Eurasian Transportation (CCTT). Arzybek Kozhoshev has noted that the EAEU focuses on three priorities: ensuring unhindered movement of goods, improving the efficiency and connectivity of the transport system, and creating a common market of transport services. These goals are being implemented through international coordination, infrastructure projects and introducing digital technologies eliminating barriers and opening new opportunities for global logistics. Transport digitalization, specifically via introducing e-CMRs, navigation seals and implementing the Concept for Smart Transport Systems, significantly improves the efficiency of international logistics, making it seamless and lowering administrative barriers. Ultimately, all this positively affects the growth of trade turnover between the countries, Arzybek Kozhoshev pointed out. Meanwhile, the EAEU actively interacts with global initiatives including the Belt and Road Initiative, Northern Sea Route and Trans-Caspian Route projects. Development of the North–South corridor from the Baltics through the Caspian Sea to the Indian Ocean gains momentum, while modernization of Astrakhan and Aktau seaports and new railways are already beneficial for the cargo traffic growth. "Transport infrastructure of the EAEU countries is at the active transformation stage facing geopolitical, economic and technological challenges. However, the prospects remain bright: owing to joint initiatives, digitalization and international cooperation our region can become a key hub in the global transportation system," Arzybek Kozhoshev summarized.
