Alexander Lukashenko: There are many problems in the EAEU, we have not fulfilled what we agreed on

17 июля 2020
Minsk hosts the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council. Alexander Lukashenko is meeting with the Prime Ministers of the countries of the integration association at this moment. The first was Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. The leaders of the EAEU had to communicate virtually due to the pandemic twice this year. This is a difficult time for the Belarusian presidency of the association. We adhere to clear priorities, speak in favor of removing barriers and exemptions in trade between the Union countries and strengthening the competence of the Eurasian Commission.

One of the main topics of the forum is barrier-free trade. Head of the Belarusian government, Roman Golovchenko, said that it is not possible to solve the problem of restrictions on the Eurasian market right now. The agenda also includes labeling of goods to avoid gray imports, industrialization and the agricultural sector, as well as issues of the carbon-hydrogen market and joint control of coronavirus.
