15 Aug 2025 Intergovernmental Council Endorsed Commission's Work on Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications in EAEU Countries The Eurasian Intergovernmental Council decided to continue the work on converging qualification requirements to the most in-demand professions in the Eurasian Economic Union labor market. The decision is aimed at facilitating employment of citizens in the EAEU countries. The discussion was centered on the report prepared by the Eurasian Economic Commission jointly with the competent authorities of the Union states. The document presents detailed analysis and compares the national qualification systems including their key criteria, professional education levels and requirements for engaging in labor activities. As a practical example, qualifications for welders were analysed. According to Bakhyt Sultanov, EEC Minister in charge of Economy and Financial Policy, although recognition of certificates of education is provided for in the Treaty on the EAEU, there are differences in recognizing professional qualifications that yet remain. "Recognition of certificates of education is a foundation that we have already laid. Now our task is to build up on that: to ensure that professional qualifications of a specialist obtained in one Union country are understood and recognized in another. By continuing that work, we eliminate barriers for our citizens and enable free movement of qualified personnel," noted the EEC Minister.

15 Aug 2025 Intergovernmental Council Observed Growth of Revenue from Import Duties Heads of Government of the Eurasian Economic Union reviewed the annual report of the Eurasian Economic Commission on the transfer and distribution of import customs duties between the budgets of the EAEU states.

The document analyzed factors impacting customs payment amounts: dynamics of imports and structure of trade flows, changes in the common customs tariff (CCT) rates, as well as tariff exemptions and CCT exceptions. A new section on developing a methodology for calculating the distribution ratios of import customs duties between the budgets of the EAEU countries is added. "Growing amounts of import customs duties indicates positive dynamics so our task is not only to maintain the current trends but also to enable a further increase in the economic effects from integration," noted Bakhyt Sultanov, EEC Minister in charge of Economy and Financial Policy. The Intergovernmental Council instructed the EEC Board to continue its work on monitoring transfer and distribution of import customs duties between the budgets of the Member States.
