EAEU to master new methods for regulating digital markets - EEC Minister

The Eurasian Economic Commission constantly improves working conditions of the EAEU business, and sophisticating the antitrust regulation mechanisms is one of the directions thereto. As the EEC has suggested during the Antitrust Forum held on February 18, the Eurasian Union needs new approaches to antitrust compliance since the existing norms have not been brought to unified standards. The issue also concerns digital markets, the development of which has been intensified in response to the pandemic and restrictions accompanying it. Arman Shakkaliev, Member of the Board – Minister in charge of Competition and Antitrust Regulation of the Commission, has told in his interview to "Eurasia.Expert” about measures the EEC now uses to protect competition as well as changes it prepares.
