11 Jul 2025 EAEU countries developing industrial cooperation The meeting of the Eurasian Economic Commission's Advisory Committee on Industry chaired by the EEC line minister Goar Barseghyan considered a number of relevant matters of the real economy of the Eurasian Economic Union countries. In particular, the Commission's report on the results of monitoring the implementation of the Main Directions of Industrial Cooperation was approved, and the consolidated forecast balances of supply and demand of the EAEU States for the main types of industrial products for 2023 and 2024, as well as for two forecast periods – 2025 and 2026 – were agreed. The implementation of the supranational financial support mechanism for cooperative projects in the manufacturing industry was discussed. “The Committee Members discussed possible mechanisms for optimizing work in the field of industrial subsidies and adjusting certain provisions of the Treaty on the EAEU in terms of providing information on such planned subsidies,” Goar Barseghyan mentioned as well.

11 Jul 2025 Customs processing procedure encourages industrial cooperation and export of EAEU countries The application of the customs processing procedure in the customs territory of the Eurasian Economic Union stimulates the development of industrial cooperation and exports of the Member States. This was emphasized by Vitaly Vovk, Deputy Director of the Eurasian Economic Commission's Industrial Policy Department, at a seminar on this topic held at the EEC's venue. According to Vitaly Vovk, this customs procedure, which provides for the use of foreign goods with temporary exemption from customs duties and taxes, helps improve the Union's production processes and increase the competitiveness of goods. In fact, it is one of the important elements of the integration potential of the Eurasian Five countries. “In order for the Commission to implement the initiatives by the Heads of the Union States to develop their own competencies and technologies in the manufacture of high-tech products and increase their exports to third countries, we should make fuller use of our integration potential,” Vitaly Vovk noted. “This is necessary to consolidate efforts to develop industrial cooperation and create new efficient mechanisms for the output of competitive products”. The seminar paid special attention to the practical application of the customs processing procedure, administrative aspects of its implementation by the Union States' customs authorities, and advantages for manufacturers and exporters. Among the industries where this procedure is or may be actively applied are aircraft and shipbuilding, railway machinery, automotive industry, including engine manufacturing, metal industry, pharmaceuticals, woodworking, chemical industry, light industry and a number of others. The analysis of the dynamics of cooperative deliveries in these sectors indicates a significant potential for developing the EAEU industrial cooperation and the expansion of exports of high-tech products to third-country markets. The seminar was organized with the assistance of the Russian Export Center Group. It was attended by more than 130 representatives of authorized government bodies, organizations, industry associations, and businesses of the EAEU countries.

The Commission works consistently to create an environment in which entrepreneurs can better unlock their potential”. The meeting of Industry Ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization countries discussed the prospects for further joint work in the Eurasian space. “The Commission consistently advocates deepening of industrial cooperation, technological exchange and formation of efficient integration ties.
