At the first meeting of the profile working group chaired by Minister in charge of Customs Cooperation of the Eurasian Economic Commission Maksat Mamytkanov, representatives of the authorized bodies of the EAEU countries, whose competence includes law enforcement in the field of customs regulation, discussed general legal approaches to holding persons accountable for violations of customs rules.
This task is enshrined in the Strategy 2025 and should be implemented by countries in the medium term.
Legal relations in the field of customs regulation are maximally unified and regulated by the Customs Code of the EAEU and acts adopted in its development. The Customs Code of the EAEU establishes the obligations of persons performing customs operations, failure to comply with which should entail liability under the national legislation of the Union countries.
Among the topics discussed are the development of approaches to organizing interaction between the EEC and the competent authorities of the EAEU states, the organization of thematic expert consultations and the preparation of proposals for fixing the general principles and approaches to establishing such responsibility in the law of the EAEU."At the present development stage of integration processes, there is a need to build a system of protective norms of a single model, providing for general principles and approaches to establishing legal liability for similar offenses on the territory of any of the EAEU Member States," said Maksat Mamytkanov.
