17 Sep 2025 EEC and Philippines discussed cooperation plans Promising areas of interaction between the Eurasian Economic Commission and the Republic of Philippines were considered at the EEC headquarters by Daniyar Imanaliev, Minister in charge of Integration and Macroeconomics of the Eurasian Economic Commission, and Allan Gepty, Assistant Secretary at the Department of Trade and Industry of the Philippines. "The Republic of the Philippines is one of the leading economies in South East Asia," the EEC Minister commented. "The Commission actively facilitates trade and economic cooperation between the EAEU Member States and the countries in the region and is ready to enhance its dialogue with the Philippines, including at the key ASEAN platforms." Daniyar Imanaliev informed his Philippine colleagues about the formats of the Commission's interaction with third countries, as well as about the crucial goals and objectives in interaction with ASEAN. The EEC Minister invited representatives of the official, expert and business circles of the Philippines to take part in the main activities of the new Cooperation Program between the EEC and ASEAN for 2026–2030. Allan Gepty indicated the Philippines' interest for exchanging experience in agriculture including technologies for processing agricultural produce, as well as food security, pharmaceuticals, energy, information and communication technologies and innovative development. The meeting recognized the need to intensify contacts between business representatives of the EAEU countries and the Philippines for practical implementation of initiatives in these fields. The parties agreed to consider the possibility of ultimately concluding a memorandum on cooperation between the EEC and the Philippine Government, as well as holding a joint congress and exhibition event involving business associations over the Philippines' chairmanship of ASEAN in 2026.
11 Sep 2025 EEC and EAEU countries work to improve AEO concept Improvement of the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) concept in the Eurasian Economic Union were discussed on September 10 at a meeting of the relevant Working Group under the Advisory Committee on Customs Regulation headed by Kuat Rakhimov, Director of the Eurasian Economic Commission's Department of Customs Legislation and Law Enforcement Practice. The meeting considered an initiative put forward by the Russian Federation to simplify the application of preliminary customs declarations for this category of low-risk applicants. It is proposed to simplify a number of customs operations and eliminate unnecessary customs notifications when using this declaration aspect. This will help accelerate customs control procedures at border crossing points and reduce business costs. The proposal of the Republic of Kazakhstan to apply the AEO status by residents within a special economic zone was further considered. The idea is that having two statuses would provide advantages and include residents in the AEO program. Further steps were also discussed to implement the initiative put forward by the Republic of Armenia, which may enable operators to defer or pay import customs duties by installments without providing a collateral. This concerns certain categories of goods used for industrial processing and agricultural activities. The Authorized Economic Operator concept is an internationally recognized standard of the partnership program. The AEOs are specially designated persons granted with simplifications during customs operations and customs control as persons meeting specified requirements. The Working Group for developing the AEO concept in the EAEU Member States was established in 2014. It elaborates proposals to improve and develop the Authorized Economic Operator concept in the Union.
