Possibility to Participate in Public Procurement of EAEU Countries Extended for 7,000 Industrial Goods
The Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission extended until December 31, 2025 the effect of Annex No. 1-1 to the Rules for Determining the Country of Origin of Certain Types of Goods for the Purposes of State (Municipal) Procurement (Rules of Origin), approved by Decision No. 105 of the EEC Council dated November 23, 2020. The document allows including in the Eurasian Register of Industrial Goods of the Eurasian Economic Union states of 258 commodity names covering more than 7,000 industrial goods, against the ST-1 certificate. The Rules of Origin define a unified approach to regulating the issue of determining and proving the origin of goods for public procurement in those EAEU states where preferences are established for domestic suppliers or restrictions are imposed on foreign goods. The Rules of Origin are aimed at increasing investment attractiveness, promoting localization and expanding cooperation ties between Eurasian producers. On the official website of the EEC in the section dedicated to the Department for Competition and Public Procurement Policy, there is the Frequently Asked Questions tab, providing reference information on the procedure for the inclusion of information on a product and its manufacturer in the ERIG and the Commission's actions to review a request on including such information.

Fines to be applied for non-compliance with Commission's decisions on antitrust cases
The Eurasian Economic Commission's Council has amended the Methodology for calculating and the procedure for imposing fines for violations of the general rules of competition in transboundary markets and the Procedure for considering cases on violations of the general rules of competition in transboundary markets. It bears reminding that the Commission may issue the so-called “behavioral conditions” to offenders following investigation into the cases of violation of the general rules of competition in transboundary markets to eliminate violations and restore the conditions of competition. The Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union imposes penalties for failure to comply with such “behavioral conditions”. The amendments made to the EAEU acts envisage control by the Commission of the offender's compliance with the “behavioral conditions” Failure to do so within the prescribed period of time will result in initiating proceedings similar to the procedure for failure to submit information to the Commission (without conducting an investigation). The offender will be subject to penalties, the amount of which depends on the offence. The maximum fine for certain offences reaches 700 thousand Russian rubles.

A delegation of the Eurasian Economic Commission took part in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Global Forum on Competition in Paris.

The event participants discussed the most notable happenings in the CIS countries in the field of competition policy and antitrust regulation, as well as the vectors of joint work to improve competition legislation and law enforcement. On the ICAP margins, Maxim Ermolovich held a working meeting with Khalilillo Turakhuzhayev, Chairman of the Committee on Competition Development and Consumer Rights Protection of the Republic of Uzbekistan, an observer state at the EAEU.
