The Eurasian Economic Commission's Council has amended the Procedure for handling restricted documents in the EEC. This document deals, inter alia, with competition and antitrust regulation within the Eurasian Economic Union.

Any confidential information that may be contained in an application for violation of the general rules of competition or investigation in this respect will now be communicated to the Member States' competition authorities upon the decision of the relevant Minister of the Commission.

Previously, such a decision was adopted by the EEC Board, which did not always allow the materials to be promptly transferred to the EAEU countries' antitrust authorities. This slowed down the process of responding to signs of violation of the Union's competition law.
