25 Nov 2025 Council on Agriculture discussed industry development within EAEU On November 25, at the meeting of the Council on Agricultural Policy of the Eurasian Economic Union in Minsk, heads of agricultural agencies of the EAEU countries and Gohar Barseghyan, Minister in charge of Industry and Agriculture of the Eurasian Economic Commission, discussed the state, prospects and ways of improving the efficiency of the agricultural sectors of the Member States. The meeting considered approaches to creating the mechanism for financial support of cooperation projects in agriculture and reached an agreement to intensify joint work in this direction. "For the agricultural sector, this is a new support measure for joint projects aimed at pooling the potentials of the Union States. We expect that the mechanism will be in demand primarily in implementing high-tech projects. Moreover, it is possible to use it in all the branches of agriculture and its infrastructure," the EEC Minister pointed out. The Council discussed the implementation of the Eurasian Economic Path Declaration on further development of economic processes within the EAEU until 2030 and for the period until 2045. "In the current context, the agricultural sector is a high-tech industry that can be competitive only based on an innovative model. We should join efforts to promote the technology development of the sector and address its common practical tasks," Gohar Barseghyan emphasized. The meeting participants approved the draft List of R&D in agriculture and agreed on implementing a pilot joint study to create Eurasian hybrids of sugar beet. As part of her visit, Gohar Barseghyan also visited the Minsk Tractor Works OJSC and Belarusian National Biotechnology Corporation CJSC where she saw the exhibition of Belarusian machine-building achievements and modern technologies in producing agricultural output, including deep processing of grain, high-quality feed additives and amino acids.

24 Nov 2025 Maksim Yermalovich: "We are creating additional incentives for respecting competition law within the EAEU" Maksim Yermalovich, Minister in charge of Competition and Antitrust Regulation of the Eurasian Economic Commission, took part in the 8th International Conference of the Court of the Eurasian Economic Union on ensuring the rule of law across the EAEU, held in Minsk. At the session "General Rules of Competition in Cross-Border Markets of the Eurasian Economic Union" Maksim Yermalovich noted that law enforcement practice and interaction with the EAEU Court enabled the Union's law to regulate limitations periods for antitrust violations in such markets, as well as the liability of mala fide entities for not adhering to behavioral conditions prescribed by decisions of the Commission's Board concerning cases on violations. Internal legal procedures are to be performed regarding a package of amendments to the Treaty on the Union entitling natural persons to apply to the EAEU Court to challenge decisions of the Commission's Board in the field of monitoring compliance with the general rules of competition in cross-border markets. In December this year it is planned to submit to the EEC Council the amendments to the Procedure for Considering Cases ensuring that an entity is notified about the offence it is charged with. "The said amendments will help individuals and legal persons of the Union countries to better protect their interests," Maksim Yermalovich stressed. He also drew attention to the work being done by the Competition Unit together with the Member States under the Kazakhstani party's initiative concerning the Strategy 2025 to enable an affected person to apply to the court of a Union State with a claim for redressing the damage inflicted by a violation of the general rules of competition in cross-border markets. "Developing the entities' capacity to have damages redress will be a further incentive for respecting competition law in the Union's cross-border space," the EEC Minister summed up.
