03.07.2026
On July 3 in Astana, the Interstate Council for
Antimonopoly Policy (ICAP) of the States Parties to the Commonwealth of
Independent States considered the Eurasian Economic Commission’s initiative and
decided to make a specific request to the CIS Economic Court for an official
interpretation of certain provisions of the Convention on Legal Assistance and
Legal Relations in Civil, Family and Criminal Matters dated October 7, 2002,
and the Agreement on the Procedure for Resolving Disputes Related to the
Implementation of Economic Activities dated March 20, 1992, regarding
reimbursement of damages caused by an economic entity or a natural person
violating
According to Maksim Yermalovich, the EEC Minister in charge of Competition and Antitrust Regulation, the initiative is driven by the need to resolve a number of issues arising during the Commission’s preparation of an Information Letter on the possibility of reimbursing damages caused by an economic entity (market participant) or a natural person violating general rules of competition in transboundary markets.
This work is underway in pursuance of Instruction No. 18 of the EEC Council dated September 26, 2025.
