The draft Law aimed at ratification of the Agreement on Principles and Approaches of Harmonization of State Control has been approved

A plenary session of the Majilis of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan was held today, where deputies approved a draft law aimed at ratifying the Agreement on Principles and Approaches for state Control (Supervision) over Compliance with the Requirements of the Technical Regulations of the EurAsEC in order to harmonize the legislation of the EurAsEC member states in this area.

This Agreement provides for the procedure for considering disputes if the authorities of one country disagree with the results of state control of another country in order to prevent the creation of barriers to mutual trade, as well as the creation of a register of non-conforming products and information interaction through an information system.

In general, the ratification of the Agreement is aimed both at preventing the spread of non-conforming products and at removing technical barriers during illegal inspections in the EurAsEC countries.

At the same time, the Agreement initially takes into account all the requirements of the current legislation, and therefore, its ratification will not entail changes to the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The basic principles of the Agreement are:

presumption of good faith of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs;
transparency of the activities of state control (supervision) bodies;
the inadmissibility of carrying out inspections of compliance with the same mandatory requirements established by the technical regulations of the EAEU with respect to one legal entity or individual entrepreneur by several state control (supervision) bodies of the member state;
compliance with the rule of law in the appointment and conduct of measures for state control (supervision), making decisions on their results, etc.
The member States, in order to organize state control (supervision) and prevent the release into circulation and circulation on the territory of the EAEU of products that do not meet the requirements of the technical regulations of the EAEU, will ensure the interaction of state control (supervision) bodies by systematically exchanging information, organizing the exchange of experience in conducting state control (supervision).
