culture, faith, people, beauty, once you adore it, you will never forget it. here we go, good evening, this is the economic environment in belarus, one satellite tv channel belarus 24, the state system. procurement in

the eurasian economic union, this is an important a tool for developing competition, saving budget funds and increasing the efficiency of economies, but what is more important: the development of the four freedoms or the protection of national interests? is it possible to refuse seizures, how will this affect the work of the business, we will discuss with competent experts right now. today we have experts in our studio who are well versed in public procurement issues yaas, maxim yarmalovich, minister of competition and antimonopoly regulation of the eurasian economic commission, alexey bogdanov, minister of antimonopoly regulation and trade of belarus, elena morgunova, chairman of the state committee for standardization of belarus, olegkov.

chairman of the belgos food industry concern. dear guests, good evening. we are glad to see you in the economic environment studio. so, government procurement. this is why government procurement is so important from an economic point of view. and how is the belarusian public procurement system related to the eurasian, supranational one? of course, government procurement is a huge market government budget money. for example, in belarus this is normal. 15 billion rubles. amounts annually, but i would probably not talk about how important public procurement itself is, what is much more important here is the regulation of public procurement, how do we spend public money? and here, of course, the regulatory system itself is important. in our country, for example, this is the law on public procurement and the corresponding resolution of the council of ministers, which clearly regulates how it is necessary to conduct public procurement itself, determine those or its other points, and what is important to answer, here ’s the second question right away, is that you...

at this stage of our integration , general principles for the implementation of public procurement have been established, and legislation in the field of public procurement has been harmonized. but the level of development and technology for conducting public procurement and the use of competitive procedures in the implementation of public procurement, it is achieved in different countries in different ways, which means competitive public procurement is when, when conducting public procurement involves the maximum number of supplier participants, a high level of competition when these procurements are carried out. in electronic format and provide the opportunity for any supplier on the market through an electronic platform to enter the competition to participate in it, but at the same time , the policy at this integration stage is not to

significantly limit the rights of national authorities, that is, to delegate the regulation of public procurement after all to a greater extent.

in fact, mutual participation member states in total government procurement constitutes an insignificant share of only 1.6% of the 190 billion us dollars of all government purchases, mutual supplies amount to just over 3 billion dollars, this is extremely small, although belarus is the champion here, our volume is very significant, we supply large volumes.

manufacturer imports from third countries continue to remain relevant for our governments when conducting public procurement, and this is a reserve that we can use by increasing own production, improving the quality of goods, producing new types of products and supplying these goods as part of government procurement. no one is stopping us, we just have to withstand competition and produce the necessary goods. our producers really need to move more, and the market is huge, 190 billion, we supply a little more than 700 million dollars as part of government procurement to the market of the eurasian economic union, the reserves are simply colossal, and here, too,

our suppliers seem to need to be more active in promoting themselves, manufacturers to the market of the eurasian economic union and increase its share, in principle, it must be said that we are doing this successfully, including on... government procurement of the eurasian noted that belarus is a champion in the context of the economic union, this is really so, why, because belarus has always been at the forefront of integration processes; ias pays attention to the development of the common market.

which, unfortunately, still exist in our country, we need to agree on energy issues so that there are equal opportunities for states. we need common markets, gas, oil, a common market needs to be created, we will not get away from this, you see how the situation is developing around us, and the very circumstances around us are pushing us towards closer cooperation within the framework of the eurasian economic union. well, we heard, yes, cooperation needs to be developed in all areas, including in the field of public procurement. here maxim leonidevich, it’s no secret, yes, if... we are already moving on to the problem field, it’s no secret that many countries of the eurasian economic

union, sometimes they make decisions to introduce withdrawals, yes, they are guided by different ones, they have their own motivation, some are guided by issues of national security, some support certain sectors, industries, areas of their economy, how is it built in this regard the work of the eurasian economic commission, here...

within the framework of this register, because the industrial policy of our partners is to increase the level of domestic production, create conditions for the development of technological independence, increase the localization of goods produced on the territory of the union, and this register allows you to assess the share of goods that actually originate from the member country. as a result, a sum of points is awarded that

allows you to recognize this product as a yas product, well , in fact, as a product of a manufacturer of one country, in terms of belarusian goods - this is all all mechanical engineering products and many many other manufacturers of localization there are there there are requirements for the level of localization this is what the main task is to calculate. all technological operations all components from the point of view of local production, and if this product meets the criteria established by 105 decisions, then this product is allowed for mutual supplies to the common market. most of the products of enterprises included in this register are belarusian enterprises. well that's good to hear.

the supreme national assembly, with expanded constitutional powers, made its first strategic decisions, namely, it approved the concept of national security and the country’s military doctrine. we are a peaceful country, but peace is at home, we are ready to defend it with arms in hand and by any methods that we deem necessary to protect ours. mission, service for the future of belarus. author's project of igor turai propaganda.

watch on tv channel belarus 24. we are going on a trip to belarus. hello travel lovers. it's going to be hot today. despite the changeable weather, i am going to the southernmost warm region of our country, to the brest region. let's take a historical excursion, he says. last hour, morse key, you can try it, it’s working, you’ll be stunned, and we’ll also visit bright attractions.

to date, 52 technical regulations have been developed for different types of products, 10 are in development, additional changes are being developed for many, and there are a number of products for which there is no technical support in the form of regulations: nicotine containing products, and certain mechanical engineering products are ...

including food for the residents of our country, to ensure a sufficient volume of production of products that will allow us to fulfill this task, but the task is to expand the presence of our products and their producers in the markets of eu countries, this is, well, i won’t say that it is a secondary task, it is also the main one and, probably, is to some extent complementary to the first task; it is impossible today to develop production qualitatively. ensure the supply of products at reasonable prices to the domestic market, if the volume of production is insignificant, and naturally we will be faced with a fairly serious increase in costs, and a significant increase in the cost of what we produce, of course , economies of scale both in the economy and in production no one can cancel it, the laws of economics

work in this sense. i believe that maksimevich may not agree with your general message. about defending national interests, yes, if all countries are guided by precisely this motivation, then it is unlikely that we will be able to quickly enough solve the tasks that the eurasian economic union faces, right? i believe that our national interest lies in entering the market of our partners as much as possible, because we already, within the framework of our own market is tight. we have consistently - and this was - the demand of the head of state to invest in the development of our own food industry in the agro-industrial complex

, which does not benefit us, but rather to our detriment, because the more open the markets of our partners are, in terms of food products, and not only food , the entire range of products produced by our industry, the greater the efficiency of our enterprises, they can withstand competition in these foreign markets, they have rightfully won already... reputation in these markets, our products are known, and opening the market means participating more and more in this competitive

struggle to win, accordingly increasing the flow of foreign currency into the country, here, like a bird has two wings, you can’t flap just one wing, national interests, then well , the second will not happen, we have actually outgrown the domestic market many times over, and in many product groups... we exceed domestic needs and only with export potential we cover these volumes that we have there is, and the more open markets we have and where we are, the more we can freely sell our goods, the more foreign exchange earnings will flow here into our country, in addition, another very important part is competition, entering foreign markets , we experience competition from other suppliers, therefore we are forced to fight for quality, for the right price, and this is again the opposite.

where there are mandatory tests for safety and quality indicators, and accordingly here another question arises of monitoring supervisory activities, this is why interstate standardization works, where standards for test methods are adopted for certain indicators that are equal for all five countries, where all countries support it.

can you give any examples? indeed, i won’t hide it, there are problems, most of the rule-making activity has been transferred to national bodies, this is probably

partly some kind of problem, why? because first some kind of regulation is adopted in the domestic market of a particular country, then already through the eurasian economic commission we are catching it up to the general rules correctly, we are trying to harmonize, a striking example, 616 russian resolution.

there is a difficulty with an electronic digital signature, which is difficult to take part in on the portal in russia in procurement, why, because you need to secure it, that is, sign there on the portal with an electronic digital signature, which is issued in russia and is extremely difficult for our participants to obtain, is there is there a difficulty here? yes, indeed, you are absolutely right, such a problem exists, it has already been partially resolved, so initially, in order to participate, well... for understanding, in order to participate in the competition, you need to submit an application in electronic form, to sign it, you need an electronic digital signature, there are two of them, two options are simple qualified, qualified it more complex, it requires a number of confirmations, including crypto-protection and the like, the issue with a simple signature is resolved, documents are submitted, the contract is executed in the event that our human company wins, for example there, but on the final stage so that the bank can accept

the money for execution... thus, the issue has been resolved for now, but in the future we will still work to ensure that a qualified digital signature is accepted on the territory of the european economic union. these are the problems that we talked about, there are probably other problems, and you bring them to the eurasian economic commission, well, march in the national part, i will tell you that probably the eurasian economic commission is the most important among the international structures.

presidents of our countries to discuss the highest level of problems that arise in mutual trade. in order to promptly resolve some issues, the relevant deputy prime minister, a member of the ec council, in this case igor viktorovich petrishenko, also has the right to come up with initiatives; in 2023, about 13 initiatives were proposed specifically to the members of the council.

we talk about the most fascinating things from the world of science. people began to make the first weather forecasts back in ancient times, with the help of what modern technology, equipment, you today you are making a weather forecast. meteorological data. radars, satellite data, and numerical modeling, and i want to say that forecasts are still not made without qualified specialists. we share interesting facts, ask the most exciting questions and look for answers to them. for the first time they encountered this problem in belarus in 2001, then there was an outbreak in 2003, but after a lull for almost 10 years they are literally inflaming them. karaed beetles, where does such a small beetle get so much strength? powerful mandibles allow them to bite off pieces of wood directly and thus build tunnels inside the thickness of the wood.

watch in the project science nearby on tv channel belarus 24. over the past 30 years after the collapse of the soviet union, the concept of democracy has become so...

buyers, and the main buyer in terms of the scale of potential spending is the state budget. all eu countries carry out public procurement. their volume is enormous; according to 2022 data , it is $190 billion. and in the interests of all participating countries, buying, as well as sell. it's profitable in this market. thus, firstly, save money, and secondly, promote your exports. for belarus, this is generally extremely important; without successful sales abroad, economic development and growth is impossible. government procurement. the market is growing, judging by the figures, in just a year it has increased by a quarter, and almost all countries have added, belarus more than the other 65%. another thing is that the volume of mutual budget purchases in the eurasian union, that is, between the five countries, amounted to less than 2% of the total volume,

that is, the country, despite the well-known the principle of a single eurasian space with its free movement of goods and services, a declared barrier-free environment, gives preference to imports. from third countries - this is almost 80% of all government purchases. the remaining 20-odd are government purchases of national goods, that is, their own producers; again, only a percentage of eu countries purchase from each other. against this background, belarus still looks good. we have 15% of imports in government procurement, while kazakhstan, for comparison, has almost 50, and russia has 84. why is this happening? obviously, all eu states protect their producers. when purchasing, giving preference to national goods. however, the law does not prohibit this; this can be done for a short time if it is necessary to provide an incentive for the development of, for example, an important city-forming enterprise that supports thousands of jobs. one way or another, countries take advantage of this to

stimulate domestic production. on the other hand, states may use separate mechanisms for restrictions on import purchases. so offers with goods from third countries will be rejected if there are at least two similar ones. eurasian products. for this purpose, by the way, there is a eurasian register of industrial goods, a single point of access to everything that is produced in the eurasian space. so far there are more than 20 thousand products here, more than 106. it takes a little time to dot all the i’s. and another important point is equal

conditions of access. belarus has sensitive access to russian government procurement of automotive products. we have something to offer, but certain legal norms created obstacles for our products, in particular, strict requirements for the level of localization. some contradictions have already been resolved, but not all yet. however , our industrialists are working to trade with each other on equal terms, as required by the eurasian rules of cooperation.

furniture, standard furniture for schools, building materials, something that is now in great demand throughout the eurasian economic union, of course, here we need to guide our manufacturers to take an active part in state and municipal procurement in the territory five, it is necessary to continue to remove barriers that arise promptly and quickly, but thirdly, i would probably if... you could ask the commission to do such

an in-depth analysis of which product groups are most in demand within the framework of government procurement in the territory of the five countries to guide us, so that the government of our country pays attention to producers where it is necessary to strengthen, because we are working within the framework of import substitution, our ministry analyzes consumer goods, which need to be imported, we analyze imports and we say that, for example, last year there were more than 350 positions that need to be replaced,

in matters of standardization, that is, within the framework of the top five, uniform requirements have already been established for 85% of goods, we would like these uniform requirements to include all types of goods in circulation, then these exemptions and barriers that exist today somewhere at the national levels will no longer exist, and , accordingly, that freedom, the fourth, free circulation of goods.

took a very tough position from 2014 until 2022 this issue was resolved well, let’s say it’s quite hotly aggressive, yes , but defending our tougher position, fortunately

all members and colleagues in the eu countries agreed with our arguments and in continuation of all this ... we have already touched on food products, yes, our products, yes, under the brand made in belarus is known in many countries of the world, in the markets of the distant arc, especially in the markets of the eurasian economic union. please tell me, due to what factors the belarusian food industry manages to win over the eurasian

buyer, do you encounter any problems? unfair competition in one form or another in the information markets? well, i would probably say that...

in the eu countries, unfortunately, we are faced with this, this also applies to the products of the agro-industrial complex, not only

the enterprises of the concern, but this already indicates that there is an opportunity to counterfeit us, that is, ours, this says that this is a quality, since we are being faked, yes, then this is a quality that is used, not only the image, but also lost profits, of course. earned by discussing the public procurement system, we will separately note the industry mechanical engineering, for example, our equipment reaches the large russian market, including thanks to the localization of production; we recall that the same maz has 37 partner factories in the russian regions, where vehicles are assembled jointly. details and interesting examples in the story by alexey kondratenko. please! the belkommash holding is showing enviable activity, a landmark contract in the green city project is 15 electric buses for the city of shklov, and more than a hundred trams for

minsk and krasnodar, by the way , the russian market is marked by the public procurement system premium, for example, the minin low-floor electric bus, a joint project of minsk and nizhny novgorod, the car can accommodate up to 75 passengers inside the air-conditioned interior and driver's cabin. residents of nizhny novgorod named such a car orange for the characteristic citrus color of the body; such electric buses began running in nizhny novgorod in march of this year; in total, there are plans to supply more than 60 cars. by participating in similar projects and organizing joint production with a high degree of cooperation with manufacturers of the russian federation.

that it will correspond as much as possible all the requirements of not just general technical standards, but also specific operational requirements, even some small wishes expressed by residents of this particular region. the minsk automobile plant has its own best-selling passenger vehicles, for example, a bus with 30 seats, which is made on the chassis of a mast car. such a machine is in demand in all regions of our country; it is universal for working on asphalt and unpaved surfaces. the 257 model has good export potential over the last

2-3 years, and it has become very popular. for government procurement, that is, it is our regional motor transport enterprises and budgetary organizations that are purchasing, now what is behind me is a bus, which means a commuter bus for any type of population, the second modification of it is a modification of the school one. there is an advantage , first of all, from the fact that, again, the chassis is our own, the suspensions that are installed on this chassis are also , in fact, all mazov, as an example, this is just last year’s purchase in the primorsky territory, where it was delivered for structures of the regional ministry of sports and tourism 30 units of such mas 257 buses . the minsk automobile plant itself will probably present this year. there are few attractive new products, both in the segment of passenger vehicles and cargo vehicles, especially to get acquainted with the cars, there is a special

occasion, mas will celebrate its eightieth birthday in august. but interesting examples, of course, but the public procurement system in the eurasian economic union is essentially designed to increase the efficiency of national economies. more important aspect government efficiency. that is, everything is in the hands of the state, by opening its markets to public procurement of member countries, everyone will benefit from this

action. supporting a weak manufacturer by closing the market from each other, we will only lose on the overall level of efficiency, so for me it is very important that the market opens, so that there are fewer withdrawals in the public procurement market for nuclear power plants, this will push, firstly, manufacturers to be more active compete in our union will push the development of industry.

digitalization will contribute to the deepening of digitalization, it will contribute to the openness of procedures, that is, everyone will see them, it is carried out on common platforms. and third, of course, is a barrier-free environment, the maximum removal of existing barriers to our trade. well , one addition that needs to be done is to increase - after all, the share of competitive procedures within the framework of public procurement, the share of procurement from a single source remains quite large.

for our producers, as it will be be a good driver of economic growth, this good driver will be the growth of production itself, well, everything that we discussed today, i guess, to summarize, i’ll note

that the economy will develop... when we give orders to our manufacturers, thank you for your opinion, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule, coming to us at the studio of the bel tv and radio company on makayonka 9, thanking our guests, saying goodbye to you, open new horizons, realize your capabilities as efficiently as possible and let the economic wednesday will be favorable for you, goodbye.

products from about 60 countries of the world, and for example, well, we are diversifying exports, this is our goal, the tasks set by the government to diversify exports, to increase

exports of the far arc countries, naturally we are dealing with these tasks, so if you look at the statistics for 2 months of the current year we are an enterprise of the bellekprom concern and have increased exports to the distant countries fourfold, and exports to the european union have increased by 17%. last year several enterprises opened for themselves new countries, so the confectionery began to supply its products to vietnam, australia, the orsha flax mill to nepal and egypt. that's why we work. what are your export plans for this year? are there any new agreements? well, of course we have plans. of course , almost 80% of the enterprises' products have already been contracted, but at the same time we continue to search for new partners,

we are actively organizing field trips, we have a schedule for the whole year, and we are gathering our enterprises and doing such business missions independently, specifically in light industry, and this gives its results.
