MINSK, Jul 22 - PrimePress. The Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) will work out and adopt before 2021 standards for the register of Eurasian industrial products and a procedure for confirming the country of origin of goods in the territory of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) for state (municipal) procurement. This decision was made at the session of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council held on July 17 in Minsk, the EEC press office reports.
Proposed by the governments of Belarus and Kazakhstan, the new regulations are aimed at eliminating restrictions on the access of EEU to public procurement, primarily in the Russian Federation. According to Russian government’s decree No.616 of April 30, 2020, an EEU resident supplier may take part in procurement in Russia provided that the goods are out on the register of Eurasian industrial products. Goods that originate from an EEU member state may be only put on this register if they comply with the regulatory requirements for industrial products in force in the Russian Federation.
On July 17, the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council issued a field-specific order with a recommendation to the Russian government to reconsider the approach to determining the country of origin of goods when carrying out public procurement, in particular, to ensure that goods originating from a member state are put on the Eurasian register based on expert examination certificates issued by the chambers of commerce and industry of the EEU member states, recognizing the equivalence of the concepts “Russian product”, “technological operation performed in the territory of the Russian Federation” and the concepts “goods originating from a member state of the Eurasian Economic Union” and “technological operation performed in the territory of a member state of the Eurasian Economic Union.”
This procedure is proposed for application until December 31, 2020. End
