Meeting between EEC and Kazakh business: focus on improving business environment
On August 23 in Almaty, Ernar Bakenov, Director of the Eurasian Economic Commission's Business Development Department, attended a meeting with the business community held at the regional office of the Atameken National Chamber of Entrepreneurs of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
In his speech, Ernar Bakenov informed the business community representatives about the possibilities of their participation in assessing the impact of regulation within the Eurasian Economic Union on the business environment, including the “new”, introduced this year, procedures for assessing the actual impact of the EEC decisions and regulatory impact assessment of draft international treaties.
“In 2023, 747 proposals on the Commission's draft acts were received from the business community during the RIA procedure. More than half of them were taken into account in finalizing the drafts, and the share of positive FIA determinations reached 98%. On the one hand, these figures show a high degree of involvement of the business community in the EEC decision-making, and on the other hand they show the Commission's regulatory “flexibility” and openness,” the speaker noted.
Besides, the Commission's representative reported on the measures taken to ensure the efficiency of the Union's internal market functioning, as well as on the positive dynamics of indicators confirming the positive impact of the Eurasian economic integration processes on the business development.
Ernar Bakenov presented information on the results of resolving specific issues previously raised by the business community of Kazakhstan, as well as on the progress made in resolving the part of the current issues that are still being worked out.
The EEC representatives also answered the questions of Kazakh entrepreneurs and took the concerns raised by them for consideration.
