Kazakhstan consistently reduces barriers in public procurement of the Eurasian Union countries

At the Council of the European Economic Commission, held online on May 22, the participants unanimously supported the further expansion of the list of goods available for public procurement of the member states of the Union initiated by the Kazakh side. The delegation of our country was headed by Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Trade and Integration Serik Zhumangarin.

The list of goods with which suppliers and manufacturers of the EAEU countries can participate in public procurement of other member states without separate national requirements has expanded by eight positions. It includes disinfectants, liquid dielectric transformers and other products.

Kazakhstan is consistently working on the gradual removal of barriers to access to public procurement of enterprises of the countries of the perimeter of the Eurasian Union. In January of this year, also on the initiative of the Kazakh side, the EEC Council approved production conditions for 55 additional goods available for purchase without separate national requirements.

Also, the EEC Council considered and adopted decisions on a number of procedural documents aimed at improving the assessment of the effectiveness of the activities of the EEC members and its employees, internal procedures, the right of duty-free import of vehicles of foreign citizens who arrived for permanent residence in one of the countries of the Union, and others.

It was decided to hold the next meeting of the EEC Council on June 23.
