The work on the draft Agreement has been conducted for about five years. On September 14 of this year, the draft was presented to the Commission’s Council members; however, following its discussion, a number of proposals submitted by the sides failed to be agreed. Discussing the draft Agreement at the Committee meeting helped develop coordinated positions and consider all proposals of the sides.
"During the meeting of the Commission’s Council, it was decided to send the draft for repeated interstate approval. Along with that, the sides took on the obligation to hold it within a month. We expect to prepare the Agreement for signing by the Heads of the EAEU States later in the year," Mikhail Myasnikovich stressed.
The draft Agreement contemplates using a technical device operating on the basis of navigation satellite systems technology in rail and road transportation. The document defines tracking objects, cases and conditions of tracking shipments.
Furthermore, at the initiative of the Kyrgyz side and at the instruction of the Commission’s Council, the Committee considered the issue of absence of unified approaches in the Union’s internal to control the movement of dual-use and military goods.
Following the exchange of views, Mikhail Myasnikovich's proposal to initiate elaborating an Agreement on general principles and control mechanisms within the Union was supported. This will provide a more comprehensive approach to the issue and allow the sides to have a clear understanding in which case and how inspections are conducted.
"The objective of the Commission and the countries is to work on developing the Union and not be limited only to the provisions of the Treaty on the EAEU," Mikhail Myasnikovich noted.
The relevant report will be presented at the meeting of the Commission’s Council.
Furthermore, at the initiative of the Kazakh side, the issue of moving quarantineable products from Europe through Belarus and Russia to Kazakhstan was considered.
Having regard to the application of the Kazakh side, there were difficulties with recognizing by Belarus of phytosanitary certificates issued by the consignor.

The sides agreed to continue monitoring this situation.
