year we prepared about 200 bales of hay, about 5 tons of grain, naturally, the ration increases approximately three times for predators, to keep it warm, all heat-loving animals, these are small rodents, these are porcupines, we have already moved them to a heated pavilion for the winter, where the stove is heated in the morning and in the evening, they are always warm, also to during the new year holidays, the estates are preparing an entertaining event, including dormouse rides and a fabulous journey with santa claus for children. my colleagues have more information 15 hours. with this i say goodbye to you. all the best and have a nice weekend.

good evening, this is the economic environment on belarus one and satellite tv channel belarus 24. enterprises of the ministry of industry increased the production of import-substituting products; over 9 months the increase was 8.5% compared to the same period last year. according to the relevant department, the most increased volumes. the production of grain and forage harvesting equipment increased by more than 77%, as well as integrated circuits of over 60. exports also increased; in three quarters, belarus supplied almost $3 billion worth of import-substituted products. the authorities of kazakhstan will control prices for socially significant goods manually. the decision was made due to an increase in the consumer price index by 5%. let us recall that at the end of the twenty-second year , inflation in kazakhstan was at a record level, more than 19%. unemployment in the eu

has decreased by more than 14% since the beginning of the year. according to the eurasian economic commission at the end of september, the number of unemployed in the union fell below 870,000 people, which is 20 basis points less than last year . a global rating agency has downgraded the economic outlook for the united states from stable to negative. according to analysts, the main factor behind the forecast decline is the accumulation of fiscal stability risks that cover credit benefits. in october, the us national debt renewed its historical maximum above 33 three dollars. export of belarusian goods to september was a record high since the beginning of the year. it follows from the data of the national bank. in general , the foreign trade turnover of goods and services of belarus for 9 months amounted to almost $70 billion, which is 11% more than in the same period last year. belarus recorded the highest growth in industrial production among eu countries. such data is provided by the eurasian economic. the rate of industrial

production for 9 months was over 108% compared to the same period in the twenty-second year , the figure for our country was more than double is ahead of the eurasian average. the manufacturing industry remains the driver of growth in the industrial sector of belarus; it added almost 10%. how the eurasian economic union is developing, what significant results have been achieved and what unresolved issues remain, we will discuss with competent experts right now. today we have experts in our studio who are well versed in the development of eurasian economic integration. olesya abramenko, deputy minister of economy of belarus. elena morgunova, first deputy chairman of the state committee for

standardization of belarus. andrey bolshakov, deputy chairman of the state customs committee of belarus. dear guests, good evening. good evening. economic union, what is it and what goals does it pursue? on the one hand, the eurasian economic union is an international association, an economic, established international economic association, on the other hand, it is an international organization of regional economic integration, yes, which ensures the free movement, as we know, of goods, services, labor capital, and is aimed at increasing the economic growth of the incoming state. members to ensure the well-being of all citizens of this union. that is, some kind of supranational association, yes, which coordinates

the national economies of the participating countries, is aimed at the implementation of some tasks, what are these tasks, why is it all done, olesya nikolaevna says that we are talking about increasing the well-being of citizens of all countries, participants, and what tasks. well, in general this ensuring these four basic freedoms: free movement of goods, free movement of services, work of power and capital, and ensuring all these freedoms on the territory of the common eurasian economic union for all five of our countries. well , another distinctive feature i’ll probably say is that our union is fully powered by hydrocarbons, as we say, right? to uranus, plus we have very good food security indicators, well in the world, in terms of depth of integration, we have second place after the european union. andrey viktorovich, what problems do you think the eurasian economic union is designed to solve?

well, as it was correctly noted, these are four freedoms , and indeed, probably the most important task is the freedom of movement of goods, capital and the fact that our citizens can, within the framework and... move freely without customs control. but when our viewer watches the news about eurasian integration, he is bombarded with a lot of not always understandable abbreviations, yes, these are eac, and ee, and ves, and emc, and much more. here, let's let's figure it out, let's explain to our tv viewers how the management system of the eurasian economic union is structured and, most importantly, how are the powers of supranational national bodies delimited? well, the eu is a eurasian economic union, it includes five states, belarus, russia, kazakhstan - these are the founders of this eurasian integration association in the economic space, subsequently joined by

armenia and kyrgyzstan, that is, five countries. in terms of management, this means we have a higher the european economic council, of which the heads of state are members. it meets at least once a year, the second level of management is the eurasian intergovernmental council , at the level of prime ministers of five countries, yes, five people, yeah, three, meet approximately once a quarter to resolve all economic issues, the third level is deputy prime minister, council level, eurasian economic commission, it meets about once a month, on the agenda there are about 30-40 issues that are discussed monthly, and the lower level, well, let’s say lower level, yes, this is the board of the eurasian economic commission. it includes representatives from each country, yes, ministers, members of the board, these are two ministers from each side, that is, it is 10 people, that is, it is a collegial body that deals with the operational, tactical management of the eurasian economic union, and strategic decisions are accepted,

as you said, yes, and therefore it is important to note that by the treaty on the eurasian-economic union, countries agreed on what policy in which area of ​​the economy they are pursuing, in some places they are pursuing a unified policy, in others a concordant policy, in others a coordinated policy, in others they remain at the national level, yes, that is, if customs and tariff measures are taken, let's say, anti-dumping, special, compensatory measures, this is a unified policy , this is not the national, supranational competence of the eurasian economic union, the commission, but the decisions of the eurasian economic union, and expressed in the resolutions of the board of the supreme council, they are binding on execution by the participating countries, if this is a decision, then yes, if this is a recommendation, then it is advisory in nature, that is , each level, each governing body has its own types of decision, and accordingly, if the decision is mandatory. andrey viktorovich, what about the distinction between national authorities? the main distinction is, as

alesya nikolaevna noted, this is, of course, an agreement on the union, the competence is clearly stated there, where this decision is made within the eu, and what is determined at the national level, and well accordingly, the main positions are the agreement; in terms of customs, this is the customs code, where decisions are spelled out, the competence of the commission, where the competence of the national one is written. well, for example, here is a decision of the court of the eurasian economic union, they are binding on residents of belarus, look, if this decision is a court decision, it is binding, that is, any business entity can go to court to protect their interests, and the court will consider one or the other other dispute, to the extent that the commission’s decision, for example, taken in relation to this economic entity complies with the law of the union, this decision will be binding.

and the member state goes to court for clarification, and the court issues an advisory opinion, it will be of a recommendatory nature, that is, it expresses its opinion to what extent, well, or we’ll talk about the interpretation of the treaty on the union, but do i understand correctly, the structure is of course confusing, because important issues are being resolved on such a strategic plan, issues that concern the destinies of the people of five countries, of course, they cannot be resolved so easily, so we need collegial bodies, a complex structure and so on, but do i understand correctly that the eurasian economic union, in essence, was created so that our states, states and participating countries, ensure more dynamic economic development, in interaction with each other, yes, through various mechanisms, well, this is also what happens, yes, that is, each of the countries, yes , as if, probably, dealing with some

national interests, a balance must be found, and countries are trying to find this balance between national and supranational interests in order to achieve joint economic growth. yes, but it must be stated that belarus has always been at the forefront of integration processes , and our president traditionally pays considerable attention to the development of the eurasian economic union, especially emphasizing the need to form a full-fledged economic union, without barriers, without restrictions, this is the main principle, let’s listen. in conclusion, i would like to note that belarus supports the need initiated within the framework of the russian chairmanship determining approaches to the formation of a new strategy for the development of integration until the thirtieth year, and somewhere maybe until 2045. at the same time.

i want to emphasize that when preparing current strategic documents, our union may be interested in the experience of implementing certain initiatives , this is important for our union at the level of our union state, belarus, russia, at the same time, i would like to warn all of us against being too carried away with strategic planning , but we can do this, it’s simple, at least at least, this useful work should not cancel or replace practical activities to implement the goals of the eac treaty, which is being carried out by state members and commissions already now; in general, a lot of specific issues have accumulated that need to be addressed, they are on the surface, the priority task for all of us remains the creation of a full-fledged economic union, everyone notes the progress in this matter, but i remain in

my previous position: there should be no barriers or restrictions at all, this is the basic principle building our union, and we must achieve the goal in the very near future. well, we heard, no barriers, no restrictions, in fact, it all comes down to what we have already discussed here, implementation. services, capital and labor, and act as a factor in the economic development of our countries, through the removal of barriers and restrictions, the issue has always been a sensitive one, alesya nikolaevna , here is the care, the removal of barriers, this is a topical issue, because it is discussed regularly at various levels, including at the highest level, well, in this regard, a question for you,

what are the main barriers for belarus to the functioning of the eurasian economic union that remain at the present time, and what barriers that are significant for you, from your point of view, have been removed? well, let’s start with, probably, with the definition of some concepts so that general understanding, yes, that we have an obstacle, this is a general concept that includes barriers and exclusion restrictions, barriers are a contradiction of national acts to the law of the union, that is, there may be some act adopted or not entered into an act in force that contradicts the law of the union, in particular the treaty of union, is a barrier, there is an exemption, yes, that is, this country, when forming the union, said that something. these are norms that are gaps in legislation, gaps in the law of the union that are not regulated. since the sixteenth year, we managed to eliminate 67 barriers, 16 restrictions, 26 withdrawals, our life does not

stand still, some barriers remain, let's say, yes, for example, last year we had problems with the supply of timber. or with transit through the russian federation, yes, it is clear that each state is trying to protect and solve some national problems, in a way that protects national producers, yes, and we had problems with the supply of transit timber to third countries through the russian federation, and there were problems are also related to the technical registration of the russian unified information system, that is , it was impossible to register in a belarusian entity... supply timber in this system, thanks, among other things, to the customs committee succeeded in carrying out an experiment on attaching navigation seals, which means that these timber products are now being supplied to us, and the regulatory authorities in the forestry sector are finalizing their national information systems in order to interface them, and to make it easier to register

and send goods to the territories of other states , let’s say this is what remains, but it’s a problem. russian federation, what was solved, for example, before the polysaga. was quite expensive for those when - when, if it’s not a russian driver’s license issued, yes, but if the drivers are simply traveling from other countries of the union, if you buy a compulsory insurance policy, it will be more expensive than you, if you are not a resident of russia, this problem was solved, now the price is the same for everyone, well, let’s say from what was discussed earlier, this was the supply

of magatex fabric, and there were problems with the supply of fabrics for production - personal protective equipment to the russian federation, here the problem was also solved, the barrier was removed and this is now unhindered such are supplied, to summarize in your opinion, what are the main, maybe the top three main barriers for our country in the eu, well, here is the issue of energy resources, yes, which was discussed, is being discussed and so far no solutions have been found that would satisfy the interests republic of belarus, well, that’s why we started with the methodology and with the definition of the concept, here are energy resources and in general, this topic of energy resources is not a barrier, it is connected with the fact that, well, relatively speaking, this is an unresolved situation, but it is connected with the fact that we markets are being built step by step, yes, then we are gradually moving towards the formation of common markets, energy, electricity, gas, oil products, precisely because this

is due to the fact that we do not have well-structured relations, that is, plans are being made, countries are gradually approaching... concluding agreements, a concept is being developed on the development of energy markets, but these markets themselves are not formed, that’s the only reason we have some problems, well , you can call the problematic aspect whatever you like, this does not affect the degree of resolution, but it remains relevant for our country, problematic question, yes, and what other most problematic, unresolved situations, aspects, in your opinion, here... in principle, i have already listed all the possible ones, and in general i will tell you that in our register of barriers there are only three barriers left from qualified barriers, and so they exist in kyrgyzstan and in almost every country, that is, this concerns, well , let's say, let's outline the spheres, this is the sphere of state procurement, the sphere of digitalization, that is, no one

thought that the sphere of digitalization would be a problem and a barrier for the supply of goods from one country in another, for example, the recognition of an electronic digital signature, that is, without recognizing the electronic digital signature, the documents cannot be completed, that is, paper documents are recognized, this should not be the case, well, let’s say in kazakhstan they have a complete one. in electronic format and this is also an obstacle for other countries. elena mikhailovna, from your point of view, these are the barriers restrictions within the eurasian economic union that are significant for our country in terms of state standards, and what measures are being taken by you, including, i mean, the relevant department for their elimination. well, i wouldn't call them barriers. probably, after all, this is the sphere of technical regulation, and the main task of which is the unhindered access to the territory

of countries from the union of high-quality, safe products, and accordingly, within the framework of technical regulation, it is necessary to ensure this access is safe, of high quality, meeting the needs of our citizens. within the framework of technical regulation, a number of aspects must be taken into account, these are issues standardization under the technical regulations of the eurasian economic union, these are metrological characteristics, this is the assessment of product compliance with all stated requirements, this is the work of accredited bodies, this is all together, all these aspects constitute the scope of those ... regulation, which allows us to ensure access to the market of safe , i emphasize products, the sphere of technical regulation, i would say that

this is a rather complex, serious integration process, it was created within the framework of the union, but nothing stands still, everything it is developing dynamically, new products are appearing, new innovative technologies are appearing. new components, new types of raw materials, and technical regulation are used, aspects need to be adjusted to all these new products, and accordingly, taken into account within the framework of our five countries, and the most pressing tasks today is the establishment of uniform mandatory requirements under a single list products, today there are about 67 items in the unified list, but not all of these items have been developed and approved technical regulations and, accordingly , standards for these technical regulations.

to date, about 52 technical regulations have been developed, and 47 of them have been put into effect, and of these unified positions on the unified list, only 44 positions are covered by the regulations, that is, there is something to work on within the framework of technical regulation of standardization, and we focus on the development of standards interstate standards, in order for them to be adopted on the territory of five countries and for all five countries to join the standards, the standards must have modern requirements, be progressive, take into account all the nuances and be one step forward, i would say, ahead... develop at a pace, and for this the whole five must be involved in this process, accordingly, improving the mechanisms for protecting the market from non-admission, and preventing

admission to the market of dangerous products and improvement of the quality issues of these products, if safety has already been ensured by regulations, then our quality is reaching the level of standardization, today. andrey viktorovich, well, when we talk about the implementation of the principle of four freedoms, in particular, the movement of goods, yes , free, of course, we must ensure an appropriate level of traceability of these goods in order to protect, well, the national interests of belarus, and other countries - members of the eurasian economic union. we know that the agreement on the use of navigation seals in the eu recently came into force, yes, it was adopted in the twenty-second year, i think, and it just recently came into force, please tell me how

effective this measure is and... do we have anything to share best practices and experiences with our partners in the eurasian economic union? yes, indeed, this year an agreement on the procedure for using navigation seals in this area came into effect, we are leaders among eu member states, we began developing a traceability system back in 2018, and in fact, in less than 2 years we have created a new system . the first within the eu , the first state, today in fact two states use navigation seals, these are the republic of belarus and the russian federation, for our viewers, a navigation seal is a kind of electronic device that allows us to track where on the map the cargo is located at each moment in time, correctly, absolutely correctly, the cargo and, accordingly, the vehicle , we applied the first navigation seal in the republic of belarus on june 7, 2020. at

the moment, we place and apply 1,300 navigation seals every day, all at first practical implementation, we have already applied navigation seals in relation to 1,200,000 tons of transportation, that is, this is a colossal volume , this is a colossal experience, in order for all five states to enter into agreements and begin practical implementation, work must be carried out at the commission site and more must be adopted 28 normative documents , 16 have been adopted to date, and when considering these documents at the commission’s site, of course, the experience of the republic of belarus is used, we are heard, and for certain decisions, those are taken as a basis developments, the procedure for using the navigation seals that we use in the republic of belarus, as for simplifications

, we have already noted today that it has made it possible to remove one of the restrictions on the export of belarusian forest products, this is the same navigation seal, we are undoubtedly convinced that the main thing that will allow - this is to speed up the delivery procedure and eliminate, let’s say, excessive control by government bodies when moving goods between state members of the eac, therefore by reducing. this will be used quite effectively and will allow remove not one, not a single restriction, not a single barrier within the eu. and when three other countries, members, and the eu apply this instrument, it is assumed that by the end of this year we will make all the necessary decisions at the commission site, and if this

happens. the navigation seal within the eu is planned for use from the end of january 2024, but we are at the forefront of the development of these processes, the traceability of goods in the eurasian economic union, right? yes, that’s right, and here it should be noted that one advantage that will be is that today, when we use a navigation seal, we are forced to remove it at the belarusian-russian border, and this is also a cost, this is the time for the carrier when we use the navigation seal. seals within the eu, the seal will already be removed at the final point where the cargo is going, but this will remove many of these problematic issues in practice, yes, because it very often happens that goods go from one country to another, in transit through a third, then it turns out that the cargo did not arrive, it was unloaded in a second country, well, how is this possible? to name, of course, well, not the cleanliness of business, probably yes, when the recipients there do not correspond and so on, but for

states. this is very important so that all these issues are under control, the navigation seal, those issues at the forefront of which belarus and the state customs committee are, well, these problematic issues are called upon to solve, correctly, absolutely correctly, you correctly noted that, well, a navigation seal is not only a tracker that shows the movement of a car, it is also a device that is intended to ensure the safety of the transported cargo and ensure control over the responsibility of the carrier itself in order to minimize cases of violation of the law, that is, we have something to share with our partners in the union, despite the difficult situation on the external circuit, this year is quite successful for the eurasian union, and the volume of mutual trade over 8 months, we know, exceeded $56 billion, which is an increase of almost 10%

compared to the same period. period last year, eight out of 11 barriers were removed, but the time has come to increase the self-sufficiency of the union from its products to equipment, this was stated: at the intergovernmental council of the eurasian economic union in kyrgyzstan , we will discuss the results of the negotiations with the official representative of the ec and malkina, the director tells me that she has connections with us. iya vitalievna, good evening! at the end of october, a meeting of eurasian interlaw took place in beshka and we know that as a result a number of joint documents were signed, including a regulation on the selection of joint cooperation projects and their financing. please tell me what this document is aimed at and what opportunities it opens up? indeed, the adopted provision is the main document of the new program for financing industrial cooperation, for business and directly for the countries of the union;

in general, this is a breakthrough event, primarily due to the opportunities that open up directly for the member states. firstly, for countries with small economies, this will provide access to technology transfer from technologically developed countries of the union. secondly, this creates the preconditions for increasing the member states’ own production potential. further, this will also improve the competitiveness of the industrial complex not only of a specific country, but also of the eurasian economic union as a whole. and of course, this will help increase exports, and business, as for business, it also receives certain financing opportunities subject to certain conditions, what are these conditions? firstly,

enterprises from three or more countries of the union. secondly, the project must be aimed at achieving meaningful results. this could be the creation of a new enterprise, increasing exports, increasing trade volumes, and so on , the duration of the project should be 5 years, and for its part, the commission will, twice a year, create lists of incoming projects and rank them according to a point system, so to speak . on quantitative indicators of financial assistance, the maximum amount of subsidies for the project per year cannot exceed the equivalent of 350 million russian rubles, the amount of subsidies will be equal to the key rate of the national currency in which the project is financed, and

the bank’s maximum commercial rate should not exceed the level of the key rate increased by 6.5%. we really hope that the program for financing industrial cooperation will be launched next year, approximately 1.8 billion russian rubles have already been allocated for this in the union budget, and we are waiting for interesting project proposals from the business of our countries, thank you, tell me, and how is the implementation going? strategy for the development of eurasian economic integration until the age of twenty, these are the significant results achieved by the year 2025. in general, the 2025 strategy is being implemented in a rather difficult economic period and despite this, the percentage of implementation of the action plan for

the implementation of the strategy is quite high, if we talk about specific results, then within the framework of the implementation of the strategy the mechanism itself was adopted... the legal framework for the traceability of goods, the implementation of the agreement on navigation seals is actively underway, the corresponding legal framework is being created registration of all the necessary aspects of this institution, and of course, a eurasian reinsurance company was created, well, in turn , we really hope that the decisions made will stimulate both foreign and domestic trade. it is also worth noting that as part of the implementation of the 2025 strategy, the member state managed to bring

its positions closer in new areas, in particular we are talking about scientific and technical cooperation. we really hope that the steps taken will not only... develop our integration , but will provide the stable functioning of our economies, and the figures that we have been receiving for two years each indicate that, in principle , the goals set for us are being achieved, and today we see positive trends in most indicators, this includes gross domestic product, this and industrial production and agricultural production and so on, i think that directly, when we come to the report on the implementation of the 2025 strategy complex, we will be able to: say that, in general, there is reason to believe that

it is being implemented successfully. thank you, iya malkina, official representative of the eurasian economic commission, was in touch with us. alesya nikolaevna, well, we heard, yes, the industrial operation, such special attention is paid to it, now , this is not surprising, there are estimates by economists, scientists, analysts, according to which up to a third, here... of the integration effect in the development of supranational unions, falls on the elimination of barriers, restrictions, exemptions and up to two thirds, on strengthening interaction, cooperation, harmonization various aspects of politics, economic and convergence of economies in general, well, industrial cooperation, we have heard, is a very important aspect, but please tell me what... industrial cooperation for belarusian

manufacturers, in what technological areas, we have, well, the greatest the groundwork for the production of import -substituting products, well, speaking of industrial cooperation, we can cite last year, the twenty-second year, yes, when we were faced with the need for import substitution, and this opportunity to use industrial cooperation for in order to increase production volumes and replace import-substituting products, it was obvious that we can say that mutual cooperation supplies within the union in the twenty-second year compared to the previous year increased by only 17%, and compared to, say, the fifteenth year there, they increased by almost 2 ,4 times. in addition, according to experts, it is possible to replace almost all of these industrial goods with domestic goods that are produced on the territory of the union. mutual

trade is approximately 70%, that is, not consumer goods, namely industrial goods, a lot has been done by the eek, and maps of industrialization have been drawn up, which contain more than 100 joint integration cooperation projects, when entrepreneurs, when business looks at how to form, yes, how to form new... projects, they can be guided by this industrialization map, which we have in 25 sectors, by the way, it is publicly available on the website, on the website of the eurasian economic commission, most of the sectors where we have an integration effect and we can develop them, this includes mechanical engineering, automobile construction and computers, and well, one might say , the pulp and paper industry for belarus is also relevant chemical chemical production, indeed this is the position... i told you, yes, it was adopted

in eurasian , intergovernmental council , yes, it will contribute to the development of industrial production, we hope that it will contribute to the development of industrial production, this is the provision, it will contribute, not only space, conditionally speaking, nuclear energy, hydrogen energy, but also pharmaceuticals, light industry, furniture industry, this provision applies: to these sectors and we hope that from 24 this mechanism for supporting industrial production of joint integration projects, it will provide the opportunity, well faster, but the mechanism is designed for 5 years, it will allow for faster implementation of joint projects that will give impetus to this industrial cooperation and macroeconomic growth such as national effects, supranational effects, understandable, understandable.

of course, these are some joint projects, there is a regulation on how to select them, financing is provided for them, yes , there are certain criteria, such as, as a rule, these are imports, that is, projects that are aimed at import substitution, what is now extremely relevant for both the russian federation and the republic of belarus, but from the position, microeconomics, from the position of producers, there is a belarusian manufacturer, for example, mas, these are the ones... laid down, these are partners, yes, let’s say we have there is a eurasian electric bus project, and we are also trying to find partners in the eaeu who can participate in the creation of this project, either through an interstate program or in some other way.

elena mikhailovna, speaking about the single market of the eurasian economic union, there is no doubt that issues of product quality and corresponding policies in the field of quality are of great importance, this is how you assess the level of technical regulation in the eurasian economic union, and how the system is built in our country state supervision over compliance with those regulations of the union, let's probably start with quality, we have already talked about safety, our safety is ensured at the level of technical regulations of the eurasian economic union, which spell out... all the mandatory requirements for meeting product quality are already a level of standardization, usually in standards, all requirements for high-quality equipment are already brought to the level of standards,

national standards, interstate standards, it is gratifying to note that precisely in 2002 at the level of the eurasian economic union, two such documents were adopted, which were agreed upon and adopted at the level of five countries, this is the procedure for coordinating work on standardization, which clearly states all the necessary principles for developing standards, introducing standards, and joining standards, the second document is. .. the procedure for assessing the scientific and technical level of the regulations of the eurasian economic union, many regulations were adopted a long time ago, and the requirements must be improved, we do not stand still, as i already noted, but are developing

technologies, new goods, new products are being developed and, accordingly, it is necessary to revise this level, the scientific and technical level, in order to... modern, these two such basic documents at the union level have already been adopted, they are working, and as for the quality policy , these are the competencies of specialists, and new technologies, this is the creation of new products, this is the work of a huge number of professionals, this is a quality management system and so on, that is... here we must not confuse quality supervision of compliance with the requirements of instandards is

safety, quality and security, these are two concepts that should be combined, and indeed in the republic of belarus we have a very flexible, logical... well-built system of state supervision, which is designed to prevent access to the market dangerous products , but to prevent, but the goal of state supervision is not to punish the subject, but to warn, yes, therefore, today we have six state supervision bodies that are created on a territorial basis regional inspections. and they go out with monitoring, first of all, to business objects with monitoring in order to prevent preventative measures, and today about 89 percent of supervision consists of direct monitoring based on a risk-based

approach. andrey viktorovich, since we are talking about safety, i can’t help but ask you, here are the measures: we are taking to prevent unsafe products from entering the eurasian market and in other words, how our customs is fighting violations established prohibitions when moving goods? well, in continuation of those regulations, i can say that today the customs authorities provide control over compliance with more than 30 technical regulations, we check the availability of the necessary documents upon import... in total, during the current period we have identified: 50 violations in terms of those regulations, for current year, currently 50 administrative offenses,

but the total amount of goods for which we have identified is more than 3 million belarusian rubles, as regards prohibitions and restrictions, this is quite serious, this is a technical regulation, but only part of the prohibitions and restrictions, we have a unified order, regulation within the eec, well, for example, the situation around our border has changed quite seriously recently, today we are obliged as customs authorities, to ensure, first of all, the protection of the internal market, but not only the internal market, but not only so that they do not import, but also that they do not export, probably, if in the fifteenth year there were 13 temporary measures in force within the eu

nature introduced by countries, today it is 45, that is, in fact, three times more, all temporary measures introduced by state members of the eu, it does not matter if it is armenia, kyrgyzstan has established a temporary restriction on the export of goods, belarusian customs officers provide control. in particular, in the republic of belarus, i can give an example, this is a resolution of the council of ministers, which introduced an extensive list of goods that limits the export of industrial goods, so that when unfriendly countries, investors do not are friends with the country so that the machines, mechanisms, and equipment that our factories operate today are not taken out, we are actively working in this direction and as an example i can... cases since its introduction, it was the twenty-second year of spring, 212 subjects

economic customs authorities identified such violations and did not allow, did not allow the export of these goods, i can also note in terms of import restrictions, goods that the government has determined are restricted for import from unfriendly countries, yeah, we work both at the border and inside countries, in order to identify them and suppress their use and... since the entry into force of the seventh resolution of the council of ministers, we have identified 1,500 violations, prevented the import of more than 8,000 tons of goods from unfriendly countries, bypassing, let's say, retaliatory measures to unfriendly actions in relation to our country, the total amount of goods is more than 7.5 million dollars, what fate befell these goods, confiscation, no way, this is export, unconditional export, and of course, speaking about the safety of our citizens, about

security, this is definitely the fight against drug trafficking, over the last three years, customs authorities have identified more than 2 tons 100 kilograms of narcotic psychotropic substances , they were traveling to our country or in transit, as a rule, large consignments are in transit, usually in transit through our the country follows, so far this year we have already identified about 820 kg, this is why 224 criminal cases have been opened regarding the movement of narcotic drugs, only one summary suggests itself, for that block, your speech, work brothers, the world is transforming, the unipolar system is being replaced by a multipolar one, and the eurasian economic union can and should become one of the centers . therefore, the participating countries support initiatives aimed at developing not only the union, but all of eurasia, what has been done and what

the eurasian economic union should be, in olga’s story anishchenko, please. armenia, belarus, kazakhstan, kyrgyzstan and russia. the eurasian five has remained unchanged since the founding of the union in 2015, when five states declared their desire for close economic cooperation. this is how the union of four appeared free firstly. movement of people, that is, citizens of the five countries can move without obstacles to live, work or study, secondly, the movement of goods is a unified customs regulation, free movement of products between countries in a simplified manner, thirdly, the eu is the freedom of movement of services without restrictions for business, finally capital. this means that citizens of the union can make payments, transfers across borders, buy real estate and invest without any obstacles. these opportunities contribute to economic growth within the union and the progress of the region as a whole. the integration effect helps even in the harsh conditions of covid and then sanctions, but the economy adapts to these

challenges. the latest data confirms this. the total gdp in the eu at the end of the year is expected to be 3%. experts echo that eurasian integration has taken place and is working despite external pressure. this arouses interest in the eurasian union throughout the world, including uzbekistan and cuba among observers in the eu. a number of countries operate under free trade agreements. it makes it easier and faster development of trade relations, including vietnam, singapore, iran and serbia. the petit union made it possible to create a single internal market. headquarters of more than 180 million people, establish production chains, increase the volume of mutual trade within the union. internal trade turnover in the eu has generally made a serious breakthrough; by the end of the year they expect a landmark figure of $100 billion. in 2015, at the dawn of integration , volumes were half as much. at the same time, they started with a share of cooperative goods in trade of 30%. this year it will be no less than 43.

the reality of sanctions poses new challenges for the countries of the five. strengthening technological sovereignty is one of the most important - this is the basis for the further development of the union. according to various estimates, more than a quarter of industrial goods imported into the union, worth approximately $70 billion per year, can be replaced by national producers. industrial cooperation is the key to solving this problem. it will make it possible to create products under the eurasian brand and form new import-substituting projects. eurasian electric bus already made under the eu brand, pilot example. but in general. the priority sectors for sapcha’s work are microelectronics, machine tool building, pharmaceuticals and microbiology, which is important, the foundation for financing has been laid, for the first time within the framework of the five, the necessary union projects will support the single eu budget. every year , the union enterprise will allocate about $20 million to provide financial support. the mechanism has already been developed, the main thing is that there must be at least three interested participating countries.

joint production projects are just one of the tracks for further deepening work in within the eu, another one is trade, the removal of barriers, the elimination of obstacles, exemptions, step by step countries are moving towards the common goal of a single market. this year we agreed to eliminate eight out of eleven trade barriers, this contributes to the growth of mutual trade; over the 8 months of the year its volume has increased significantly, 10%. another consequence of the sanctions is the transition to national currencies in mutual settlements, almost a spurt in the past and this year, over 80% according to the results. and also the interest is not only of minsk and moscow, a trend for the entire union. but in general, integration processes in the eu are becoming more intense, sanctions only encourage countries to stick with each other, this ensures the stability of the union’s economies. experts believe that european integration has every chance of becoming a self-sufficient pole of a multipolar world and a center of gravity for other countries, just like us, who share the principles of honest

, fair cooperation on equal terms. but it must be stated that the eurasian economic union has taken its rightful place in the geo-economic landscape; in essence, it is the second highest level of economic integration in the world, in less than 10 years it has been possible to achieve obvious integration results, but dear experts, we of course talked to you today about quite complex aspects, high matters. but if we return to the level of ordinary people, people who go to stores, watch our program now, let’s answer the following question: what will an ordinary belarusian, an ordinary russian and

an ordinary citizen of another country, a participant receive from belarus’ participation in the eurasian economic union? eurasian economic union, these are the effects, what are the advantages from the point of view of everyday life, in our country the labor activity of citizens of a member of the union can be carried out on the territory of all countries without discrimination on the basis of civil labor contracts without permits, with remuneration, with labor protection, working hours , all this is approximately on equal terms, and without , i emphasize, without discrimination, income tax is also the same for everyone. dependent, well , in the same way as citizens of the state of employment, that is, without any discrimination, but the work without borders application has been launched, there is an information resource for educational institutions, today we did not talk about such a great achievement of the union, this is how service markets function, that is, we have created unified markets for various services, yes,

first we had an agreement that... the single market of services will include 142 types of services, and this is approximately 30% of all services provided, this includes advertising, retail trade, household services, certain construction services, and now additionally at the end of december twenty-two there was an agreement at the level of heads of state that plus another 117 types of services are added to this single market, yes, this is a plus, tourism is also such an important area, all these services, you don’t need to receive them some additional permits, licenses in order to come to another country to provide these services, that is, without, without discrimination, what is the advantage of the union from the point of view of the average person? well, i would probably say that ours, any citizen of the union, receives a wide, safe a range of products that are truly

safe today, that is, by all legislative documents adopted within the union, a priori safe, we hope that it will also be of high quality. what do ordinary belarusians get from integration from your point of view? well, from our point of view, this is definitely the absence of customs control between state members of the eu, probably uniform rules for crossing the border, no matter where you cross the border through the republic of belarus or through the russian federation, for citizens the rules are the same. dear experts, to summarize our conversation, here is how you see the future. it seems to me that every country must overcome, yes, its national, let’s say, selfish interests, balance its national and

supranational policies, and strives to ensure that the eu truly becomes such a center of gravity in the world order, and, of course , are ensured as we know, well , last year showed that it is important to do this, economically, technologically... sovereignty, energy, food, and so on further. elena mikhailovna. and, well, firstly, uh, probably, after all, this is ensuring security in all areas, yes, this is correct technological sovereignty. well, i would probably answer this way, probably from trust in partnership, from synergy to creation, in this way. andrey viktorovich, well, i see the first framework in the world of unification. why not? you need to set ambitious goals for yourself, dreams, they are like that, they tend to come true, life, and no matter how individual destructive resources predict that they are about to begin

there are centrifugal tendencies in the union, that maybe after some time its number, i mean participants, will not only not increase, but even decrease, to spite them, we need to set such ambitious goals, dear experts, thank you for your opinion , thank you for taking the time to come to us at studio 9, on wednesday evening, we thank our guests, we say goodbye to you, appreciate reliable partners, build respectful goodwill with them.
