On July 17-18, face-to-face expert consultations chaired by Askat Bekov, Deputy Director of the EEC Tariff and Non-Tariff Customs Regulation Department, took place at the Eurasian Economic Commission's venue, involving public authorities and businesses of the Eurasian Economic Union countries with a view to consider the outcomes of the intrastate approbation of the EAEU draft Agreement on Electronic Trade in Goods.
The participants discussed the remaining discrepancies in peculiarities of the Unionwide regulation of mutual electronic trade in goods, the principles of ensuring consumer rights and their protection, approaches to applying electronic document flow, the basics of a common glossary, and the conditions of digital goods turnover.
"The Agreement is mainly aimed at establishing common transparent rights for electronic commerce in the Union's internal market. This will ensure freedom of movement of goods and related services, which in light of rapid digitalization will give a significant impetus to the growth of all our countries' economies," mentioned Askat Bekov.
Owing to the results of these consultations, the EAEU Agreement on Electronic Trade in Goods may be signed by the end of 2025.
