15 Aug 2025 Outcomes of Eurasian Intergovernmental Council's Meeting Today Heads of Government of the EAEU countries considered a range of important Eurasian integration issues. The meeting was summarized by Bakytzhan Sagintaev, Chairman of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission, at a media scrum. Accelerated digitalization processes in rail freight transportation within the EAEU and to third countries were reported. The Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation have already switched to digital transport documents. Progress was noted in cooperation with China in this field: an Agreement on interaction between railway carriers of Russia and China was signed to ensure the use of electronic signatures. At the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council meeting the Commission's report on the results of the work being done in the EAEU to tighten control over the customs value of imported goods was presented. In terms of customs control coverage of high-tax goods with customs value lower than the established risk indicators, positive trends were noted. The Intergovernmental Council Members were presented with the annual report on the transfer and distribution of import customs duties between the budgets of the Five states. In 2024, USD $15.2 bn was received by the Union countries' budgets, which is almost 3% more than in 2023. It is worth noting that this is the highest figure over the past 10 years. Heads of Government approved the Program for Developing Trading in the Common Exchange Market, expected to be fully launched in 2029.  The Commission's annual report on the state of competition in Eurasian cross-border markets for 2024 was endorsed. The EIC Members agreed the Concepts for Further Development of Common Markets of Medicines and Medical Devices. The documents define two important areas of work. The first is ensuring the quality of manufactured products, the second is expanding interaction between the agencies on corresponding digital platforms.  There is ongoing work to converge qualification requirements in the common labor market for professions in high demand. The EEC lists them on a regular basis, significantly facilitating employment of citizens.  Moreover, great attention is paid to developing human resources in the field of transport. This direction is now included in the 2024–2026 industry-specific road map. When implemented, this document will serve to shape a common transport space and a common transport services market. Heads of Government were presented with a five-year plan to implement the approaches to regulating climate agenda issues within the EAEU. Next EIC meeting will be held in Minsk on September 29–30.
