17 Oct 2025 Promotion of competitive public procurement within EAEU discussed in Moscow Promotion of competitive public procurement within the Eurasian Economic Union as one of the regulation principles in this field was discussed on October 16 in Moscow at the international conference "Public (Municipal) Procurement in the EAEU."

In particular, he dwelled on implementing the regulation goals and principles in the field of public procurement as defined in the Treaty on the Union. The EEC Minister drew attention to the functioning of the non-competitive public procurement segment where competitive mechanisms are now being actively introduced. "This enables increasing cross-border supply of goods for state needs. A number of the EAEU countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia) use e-store procurement and e-catalogues containing standardized specifications of goods," Maksim Yermalovich pointed out. The EEC Minister explained that the EAEU law does not provide for such procurement methods so far. However, their use is being actively discussed by experts. It is in the interests of the Member States to ensure the coordinated introduction of innovations based on unified regulation. The conference was held by the EEC Competition and Antitrust Regulation Unit jointly with the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation. The event was attended by representatives of authorized authorities of the Member States, e-commerce platforms and EAEU businesses.
