25 Dec 2023 EAEU eliminated 25 obstacles in internal market At the meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council held on December 25 in St. Petersburg, the Heads of State of the Eurasian Economic Union discussed the situation on eliminating barriers and reducing exceptions and restrictions in the EAEU internal market for 2022 – 2023. For example, 15 barriers, 10 obstacles having signs of barriers, 3 restrictions and 2 exceptions have been eliminated in the EAEU internal market since 2022. Owing to the positive practice of mediation procedures, the average time for eliminating barriers in 2022 was significantly reduced to 8.2 months and obstacles having signs of barriers - 4.7 months, while in 2021 the time frames were 48 and 11 months, respectively.  The work has been strengthened by the approaches laid down in the updated version of the Methodology for qualifying obstacles in the EAEU internal market and recognizing barriers and restrictions as eliminated. In particular, the innovations include optimized terms and improved mechanism for considering obstacles, updated procedures for recognizing them as eliminated, as well as a mediation procedure for settling situations related to the signs of barriers existing in the Union's internal market. The register of restrictions contains 34 restrictions. According to the Commission's preliminary calculations, 18 restrictions (53% of the total) are scheduled to be removed by 2025. Besides, the work on systematizing exceptions has been intensified. Until 2028, the Commission's work to eliminate exceptions will focus on the fields of SPS measures, technical regulation, financial markets, establishment of a single market for services, labor migration, customs and tariff regulation, and agricultural policy. Based on the conducted analysis, the Commission has prepared a methodology for forming individual ratings of the Member States. Using the data on identified and removed barriers and obstacles having signs of barriers (OSB) in the Union countries, separate ratings were obtained showing the degree of the Member States' efficiency in implementing the four freedoms within the EAEU.  Rating of the Member States in terms of the number of identified barriers and OSB (from 2016 - 2023) For reference The Methodology for qualifying obstacles in the EAEU internal market and recognizing barriers and restrictions as eliminated was approved by the EEC Board on March 28, 2023. Barriers mean obstacles to the free movement of goods, services, capital and labor within the Union's internal market functioning and their access to the Member States' markets, resulting from the inconsistency of the existing or adopted but not yet enacted statutory provisions of the Member States or of the law enforcement practice established in the Member States with the Union's law. Restrictions mean obstacles to the free movement of goods, services, capital and labor within the Union's internal market functioning and their access to the Member States' markets, resulting from the lack of legal regulation of economic relations, the development of which is stipulated by the Union's law. Exceptions mean exceptions (deviations) stipulated by the Union's law in terms of not applying the general rules of the Union's internal market functioning by a Member State.
