YEREVAN, December 4. /ARKA/. The Armenian side considers the full-scale implementation of the project on strategic directions for the development of Eurasian integration until 2025 as one of its top-priority objectives, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said Friday at a video conference of the Intergovernmental Council of the Eurasian Economic Union.
According to him, this document is aimed at converging the levels of economic development of the member countries, expanding areas of economic cooperation, improving the regulatory environment and institutions of the union.
He noted that the mechanisms laid down in it for completing the formation of common markets without barriers, exemptions and restrictions are an important factor in the practical achievement of 4 freedoms and increasing the level of cooperation and competitiveness of the national economies of our countries.
“The implementation of the document will serve to strengthen the authority of the union in the world and will undoubtedly contribute to raising its investment and innovation attractiveness,” Pashinyan said.
He also spoke on the creation of a single market for services in the construction sector, stressing that the approval of an action plan in this area is an important step in this direction.
“In the context of the planned events, it is important to develop and conclude an international agreement within the EAEU on the mutual recognition of professional qualifications of leading technical personnel in the construction sector,” Pashinyan said.
Heads of the EAEU countries' governments plan to discuss topical issues of the functioning of the Eurasian Economic Union, consider the draft strategic directions for the development of Eurasian economic integration until 2025 and the list of exemptions and restrictions on the Union's internal market to be eliminated in 2021-2022.
It is also expected to approve decisions on nominating a member of the Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission to the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council, as well as on the date and place of the next meeting of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council. Also, the heads of governments are going to consider certain uncoordinated issues included in the strategic directions for the development of Eurasian economic integration until 2025.
At the upcoming meeting, they also intend to discuss the rules for determination of the country of origin of goods for the purposes of public procurement. The heads of government will also consider a list of exemptions and restrictions on the EAEU internal market to be eliminated in 2021-2022. In order to ensure the functioning of a single market for services in the field of construction within the Union, a plan of relevant measures is expected to be approved.
