17 Oct 2025 Promotion of competitive public procurement within EAEU discussed in Moscow Promotion of competitive public procurement within the Eurasian Economic Union as one of the regulation principles in this field was discussed on October 16 in Moscow at the international conference "Public (Municipal) Procurement in the EAEU." The event considered the aspects of promoting competition in the field of public procurement based on digitalization, compliance with bidder qualification requirements, banking support and improved personnel training. Special attention was paid to problematic issues of cross-border access to national services. Maksim Yermalovich, Minister in charge of Competition and Antitrust Regulation of the Eurasian Economic Commission, informed the conference participants about the trends in the EAEU public procurement market. In particular, he dwelled on implementing the regulation goals and principles in the field of public procurement as defined in the Treaty on the Union. The EEC Minister drew attention to the functioning of the non-competitive public procurement segment where competitive mechanisms are now being actively introduced. "This enables increasing cross-border supply of goods for state needs. A number of the EAEU countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia) use e-store procurement and e-catalogues containing standardized specifications of goods," Maksim Yermalovich pointed out. The EEC Minister explained that the EAEU law does not provide for such procurement methods so far. However, their use is being actively discussed by experts. It is in the interests of the Member States to ensure the coordinated introduction of innovations based on unified regulation. The conference was held by the EEC Competition and Antitrust Regulation Unit jointly with the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation. The event was attended by representatives of authorized authorities of the Member States, e-commerce platforms and EAEU businesses. Chang Yong, Deputy Director of the Department of Treasury of the Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of China, delivered a video address to the conference participants.
16 Oct 2025 EEC held seminar on using digital technologies at checkpoints On October 16, the EEC headquarters hosted an international seminar "Smart Checkpoints. Digitalization of Customs Authorities in the Eurasian Economic Union Countries" chaired by Ruslan Davydov, Minister in charge of Customs Cooperation of the Eurasian Economic Commission. The event was attended by representatives of international organizations, customs services of the EAEU States and the Republic of Uzbekistan, operators tracking shipments with the use of navigation seals, as well as businesses and business associations. The seminar participants discussed modern technologies and solutions aimed at increasing the capacity of checkpoints at the customs border, international cooperation and using best global practices. "New trends such as the use of the Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence and creation of smart checkpoints open up new horizons for customs services of the EAEU Member States. These innovations allow accelerating the movement of goods across the border by helping bona fide and law-abiding foreign traders and simultaneously improving the quality and efficiency of customs control," Ruslan Davydov stressed. The head of the EEC Customs Unit reminded that the Commission is vested with the competence to approve model requirements for arranging and equipping checkpoints at the customs border of the Union. Currently, an active work is underway to update the existing requirements including in the light of the need to use the above mentioned advanced technologies. "Our neighbors go the same way, as the whole world does. Automation of control procedures is a mutually beneficial process both for states and private players that will ultimately lead to improved competitiveness of our Union," Ruslan Davydov pointed out.
