25 Jul 2025 Register of third-party restrictive measures against EAEU and its Member States updated Following regular monitoring by the Eurasian Economic Commission, an updated Register of third-party restrictive measures against the Eurasian Economic Union and its Member States has been published on the Trade web portal. At present, 271 restrictive measures have been identified that may act as barriers to foreign trade on the part of the EAEU main trade partners and countries with which trade and economic agreements have been concluded or are being negotiated. Along with that, Iran's restrictive measure, which imposed a ban on importing confectionery products from third countries, was lifted after the full-fledged Free Trade Agreement between the EAEU and the Islamic Republic of Iran came into effect on May 15, 2025. In accordance with the provisions of the Agreement, the parties undertook not to establish or maintain prohibitions or restrictions on the importation of goods, including in the form of quotas, import or export licenses, and other measures. As for Serbia, a technical barrier was identified regarding access of the EAEU medicines due to the requirement to provide an EU GMP certificate for registration. The list of Uzbekistan's restrictive measures has been supplemented by a non-transparent and lengthy procedure for obtaining an Uzbek certificate of conformity for the importation of household appliances. The EEC's activities to monitor and eliminate restrictive measures in trade with third parties are carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty on the EAEU, to implement which the Decision of the Commission's Council in 2018 approved the Procedure for Interaction between the Eurasian Economic Union Member States and the Eurasian Economic Commission. The monitoring is aimed at systematic work to identify and find ways to eliminate restrictive measures imposed by third parties on the EAEU and its Member States.

22 Jul 2025 EEC report on impact of Eurasian integration on Sustainable Development Goals presented to UN The main findings of the second EEC Report on the impact of the Eurasian economic integration on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Eurasian Economic Union countries were presented at the UN Headquarters in New York. Arzybek Kozhoshev, the EEC Minister in charge of Energy and Infrastructure, presented the report's theses at two key platforms of the United Nations High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF). Speaking during the HLPF general debate, Arzybek Kozhoshev noted the EAEU role as a dynamically developing integration association. Along with that, the deepening of the Eurasian economic integration serves as a significant additional factor contributing to the achievement of the SDGs by the Eurasian “five” countries. “The EAEU successful functioning with a single market uniting more than 185 million consumers and consistent implementation of agreed economic policies have become a catalyst for economic growth. The aggregate GDP of the EAEU countries grew by 4% by the end of 2024, and for the second year in a row it was above the global average,” Arzybek Kozhoshev noted. Arzybek Kozhoshev developed the theme of the regional dimension of sustainable development at the session “Regional Perspectives on SDG Implementation”. He presented the EAEU experience as a vivid confirmation which demonstrates the importance of cooperation at the regional level in addition to national strategies to achieve the global goals.  The EEC Minister informed about the Commission's methodology for monitoring the progress – the “Regional List of SDG Indicators”. He also emphasized that the implementation of long-term development strategies of the Union will be aimed at achieving a wider range of SDGs. This entails the Declaration on further development of economic processes within the EAEU until 2030 and for the period up to 2045 “The Eurasian Economic Path”.  Arzybek Kozhoshev informed about the Commission's plans to continue analyzing the impact of integration on the SDGs and share its results with the international community, therefore contributing to the global efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda. The HLPF under the auspices of the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) is the central UN platform for reviewing progress towards the SDGs. The “Regional List of SDG Indicators”, a comprehensive tool that includes 130 indicators (67 of which are specific to the Eurasian integration priorities), makes it possible to conduct an in-depth analysis of the relationship between integration processes and the dynamics of achieving the SDGs.
