Golovchenko: EAEU needs to proceed from removing barriers to joint creation of technology and products

25 февраля 2022

It is necessary to proceed from removal of barriers to joint creation of technology and products within the framework of the EAEU.  This position was voiced by the Belarusian side at the Intergovernmental Council in Nur-Sultan. The partners have an understanding that the pressure will increase. The effective instrument of counteraction to the sanctions is the provision of our own economic independence in technology and goods! It is now necessary to implement new union projects and reduce the dependence on imports from abroad. 

Despite the difficult past year, the internal trade within the EAEU grew by more than a third, and foreign trade by 60%. The volume of mutual trade reached $72 billion.
