Page ContentOn October 28 a Roundtable on “The prospects of development of RFID technology in the EAEU", organised by the Customs Tariff and Non-tariff Regulation Department of the Eurasian Economic Commission will take place at 10:00 at the Eurasian Week Forum and Expo. The event is aimed at expanding the use of RFID technology on the territory of the Eurasian Economic Union. Labelling goods is the most effective tool of control over the turnover of consumer goods. The experience of the pilot project to label fur products showed that the best method of labelling is by using RFID identification. The use of RFID technology to label goods has undeniable advantages and prospects for further use in other groups of goods. It should be noted, however, that the main disadvantage of this technology is the relatively high cost. The round table will be a platform for communication between the public authorities of the countries of the Union, business associations, information system developers, as well as the issuers of control labels and the manufacturers of RFID tags. During the round table, it is planned to discuss the role of labelling goods subject to regulated circulation with control signs, taking into account the experience of the pilot project, as well as the key issues concerning the development of RFID technologies in the Union. Also, the question of implementing the full production chain of RFID tags and readers on the territory of the Union will be put forward for discussion. For Reference: On August 12, 2016 the Agreement on carrying out a pilot project to introduce labelling control (identification) signs on goods that fall into the category of “garments, clothing accessories and other articles made of natural fur" dated September 8, 2015 entered into force​
