in Moscow and it is registered at once both in Astana, and 
in Armenia, and everywhere. But participation and work – 
all will be already obligatory», – Igor Artemyev told.
He noted that now the main task is to remove remained

BUSINESS COMMUNITY SUGGESTS TO CREATE 
UNIFORM DIGITAL SPACE OF THE EEU 
Creation of uniform digital space of the Eurasian 
Economic Union (EEU) can become a key for 
deepening of Eurasian integration processes and 
elimination of barriers and restrictions. 
It was declared in Moscow at the first meeting of 
presidium of the Business Council of the EEU by the 
member of Board (minister) of the Eurasian Economic 
Commission (EEC) Karine Minasyan.
According to her, within the EEU it is necessary to 
create common approaches concerning development 
of electronic trading, uniform digital infrastructure, an 
ecosystem of digital space and use of digital technologies 
in state regulation and control for improvement of business 
environment of the State Parties of the EEU. «The uniform 
digital space is additional opportunities for realization 
of the purposes of the EEU. It will create conditions for 
the movement to uniform markets without barriers and 
restrictions, to modernization, cooperation, development 
of small and medium entrepreneurship and creation of 
new highly skilled workplaces», – the minister of the EEC 
declared. 
Members of the EEU Business Council placed particular 
emphasis on need to transfer to supreme bodies of the 
Union and member states the opinion of the Council on 
expediency of investment of the EEC with appropriate 
authority. They also emphasized the need of the fastest 
preparation of conceptual documents and decisions on 
formation of the uniform digital market (space) for the EEU 
and the separate Protocol concerning formation of uniform 
digital space to the Contract on the Union. The priority 
directions of work can be: development of regulatory legal 
base of the EEU and harmonization of the legislation of the 
member states necessary for formation of uniform digital 
space and digital transformation of economies of member 
states; formation of uniform digital space as one of the 
main channels for increase in mutual commodity turnover 
with the use of instruments of electronic trading; expansion 
of practice of use of information and communication 
technologies for increase in efficiency of cross-border 
interaction between government bodies, economic entities 
and natural persons; development and implementation 
of the joint projects and programs directed on digital 
transformation of economies of the Union member-
countries.

Is the Kazakhstani business 
competitive in the Eurasian 
economic union? What are 
the prospects of economic 
integration? Is free turnover 
of goods, capital, funds, labor 
power and services between 
five members of the EEU really 
possible?
The director of the international 
economic integration department of 
the RK Ministry of national economy 
Ernar BAKENOV answers these and 
other important questions.
– Is the Eurasian union 
profitable for Kazakhstan?
– The Eurasian economic 
integration makes a significant 
contribution to economic 
development of our state. The 
Eurasian economic union is entirely 
based on the economic interests of 
the republic without politicization of 
integration processes.
Subject of the treaty on Eurasian 
economic union are questions 
only of economic cooperation, 
the principle of sovereign 
equality, 
 
equality of rights 
and accommodation of the parties 
national interests.
It should be mentioned that 
the economic potential of the 
THE EURASIAN ECONOMIC 
INTEGRATION IS AN ACCELERATOR 
OF KAZAKHSTAN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Eurasian economic union with the 
population of more than 182 million 
people is very considerable. The total 
economic volume of the member-
states is 2,2 trillion dollars, foreign 
trade turnover is 1 trillion dollars.
The total volume of industrial 
output reaches 1,3 trillion dollars.
Economic feasibility of integration 
of Kazakhstan into the Eurasian space 
is defined by the following facts.
First of all, continental isolation 
of Kazakhstan. The geographical 
position of the republic far from 
seaports decreases opportunities of 
access to the Third World Countries 
markets, limits opportunities for 
economical growth.
We are interested in reduction 
of the transport expenses, which 
constrain availability of the world 
markets and influence on the 
diversification of economy.
The Eurasian integration already 
brings advantages. Application 
of internal Russian railway tariff 
at goods transportation from 
Kazakhstan to Europe through 
seaports of Russia, by calculations, 
saves up to 240 million dollars yearly 
of our   freight forwarders` money.
The total cost of transportations 
through Russian ports at application 
of a transit tariff is 905 million dollars. 
At application of an internal tariff 
it makes 662 million dollars. At 
transition of the Kazakhstan freights 
from transit tariffs to the unified 
tariffs of the Russian Railway the 
average level of costs reduction on 
transit transportations is 26,8%.
Accordingly, the competitiveness 
of the Kazakhstan production on 
foreign markets increases as well.
Secondly, our republic does not 
have sufficient enough capabilities 
of the domestic market where the 
volume of consumption is only 17 
million people.
Besides sufficient expansion of 
market borders for businessmen, 
creation of the EEU gives additional 
opportunities regarding decrease 
in transactional and temporary 
expenses on border and saving 
up a considerable sum of assets 
which can be aimed at business 
development.
The unified principles of technical 
regulation, the common system of 
veterinary, sanitary and phytosanitary 
security allow to transport 
production within territories of the 
member-states under the unified 
requirements and on equal terms.
All these factors should 
become a powerful incentive for 
development of new productions on 
the territory of the EEU, cooperation 
of complementary enterprises and 
creation of vertically integrated 
corporations. In the long view it 
will allow the partner countries to 
compete with their production on 
the world market.
And, thirdly, we face tendencies 
of world economic growth 
deceleration, world markets 
instability of consumption of the 
Kazakhstan main export goods.
Participation of Kazakhstan in 
the Eurasian integration process 
is one of effective instruments of 
economy diversification, attraction of 
investments in non-oil sectors.
In 2014 complex the government 
took measures for investment 
climate improvement. The payment 
system of corporate, land and 
property taxes was simplified. In 2014 
complex measures for improvement 
of investment climate were adopted. 
The system of payment of corporate, 
land taxes and the property tax 
is simplified. It was adopted the 
principle of «one window», institute 
of «the ombudsman investment», 
it is made a compensation from the 
state-side up to 30% of investors 
capital expenditure after input of 
object in exploitation.
I am convinced that along with 
formation of the EEU common 
market these measures can become 
an additional push for attraction of 
investments in our republic.
In general, the common 
economic benefit of the Eurasian 
economic union is an expansion 
production distribution area, 
establishment of equal access to the 
common infrastructure, free turnover 
of goods, labor, services and capital.
– How realistic is an aspiration of 
the EEU five members to ensure free 
turnover of goods, capital, labor and 
services? 
– Speaking about the existing 
tendencies and opportunities for 
Kazakhstan, it is necessary to sum up 
the experience of functioning in the 
conditions of the Eurasian economic 
union. In general it was done a 
great job directed on creation of a 
common economic space with free 
turnover of goods, capital, labor and 
services.
The integration vector of the 
Kazakhstani external economic policy 
from EEU to the Customs union, then 
– to the Common economic space, 
and, at last, to the Eurasian economic 
union, which started functioning on 
the 1st January, 2015, conforms to a 
strategic objective of modernization 
and diversification of economy, 
increase of its competitiveness and 
export potential.
Also regular citizens of the 
republic will receive certain 
advantages from the Eurasian 
integration.
So, a consumer, first of all, 
will have a great opportunity in 
a choice of goods and services 
due to expansion of the range of 
production, by virtue of that the 
high competition will lead to market 
control of the prices on the imported 
and local production.
A regular citizen also reaps 
a benefit due to expansion of 
employment and labor migration 
opportunities in general. Free flux 
of the human capital allows to save 
time and to simplify procedures at 
job connection or training in one of 
the EEU member countries.
For example, a citizen of 
Kazakhstan has the right to stay 
in Russia within 30 days without 
obligatory registration. All citizens of 
the EEU member-states have equal 
rights and duties at job connection in 
Kazakhstan, Belarus and Russia, with 
some exception.
A worker who arrived from 
one of the EEU member-states 
uses the same professional and 
social preferences (the right for 
work, for placing children in school 
and preschool institutions, for 
opportunity to use services of 
medical institutions, for obligations 
on tax payment), as workers of the 
country accepting a labor migrant. 
The exception is work in public 
service and service in army.
Also, such a question as 
formation of a common market of 
the capital has a great importance. 
During 2014 Kazakhstan attracted 
3,7 billion dollars of direct foreign 

қараша | ноябрь | november № 11 (23)

investments in manufacturing 
industry. In this regard the Eurasian 
integration has a positive impact on 
inflow of investments.
Within the EEU we laid the 
basic foundation of interaction 
in economic spheres, among 
which there are power economy, 
pharmaceutics, transport, industry 
and agriculture.
In the EEU there will have been 
gradually created common markets 
in spheres of power industry by 2019, 
oil and gas – by 2025. The common 
pharmaceutical market on the basis 
of the GMP standards will start 
functioning in 2016.
Besides, within the Eurasian 
economic union it is provided a 
gradual formation of the common 
market in certain sectors of services.
Liberalization is supposed to 
be carried out step-by-step on the 
basis of the approved lists of service 
sectors.
At the same time liberalization in 
certain service sectors will be carried 
out according to terms and actions 
for harmonization of requirements 
in member-states on the basis of the 
road maps approved by heads of 
states.
These tools can create great 
opportunities for development 
and strengthening of interregional 
contacts and deepening of 
economical activity in various 
branches of economy.
– What restrictions for free 
turnover of goods, capital, labor 
and services exist between 
Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan now?
– Each country expects certain 
benefits from economic integration. 
In its turn the Kyrgyz Republic 
connects the participation in the 
Eurasian economic union with hopes 
for future inflow of investments, 
expansion of sales markets and 
development of industrial sector.
Of course, the integration will not 
be created overnight. 
Transition periods are a necessary 
measure, including for adaptation of 
economy of the Kyrgyz Republic to 
new conditions.
So, the list of good and rates to 
which during a transition period the 
Kyrgyz Republic applies the rates of 
the import customs duties, which 
differ from the rates of the duties 
established by the Common customs 
tariff of the Eurasian economic union 
(further – the List of withdrawals), 
makes 166 commodity positions.
This list included vehicles, 
pharmaceutical and chemical goods, 
equipment and some types of 
agricultural goods. 
Application of the List of 
withdrawals by the Kyrgyz party 
is supposed from the moment of 
transition to rates of the Common 
customs tariff of the EEU till 2020.
In general the Kyrgyz party 
assumes to apply a rate of 0% (in 
certain cases 10%) from customs cost 
within the List of withdrawals.
The goods imported within 
this List of withdrawals according 
to the Customs code of the EEU 
are conditionally let out, and it is 
applied restrictions on use only in 
the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic 
to them, and custom control remains 
within five years. Transportation of 
the specified goods to the territories 
of other member-states of the EEU 
is possible only after surcharge of a 
difference in the duties established 
by the Common customs tariff of the 
EEU.
The veterinary control will 
continue to exist on the Kazakhstan-
Kyrgyz border until the Council of the 
Eurasian economic commission will 
make decision on approval of system 
of veterinary control in the same 
mode.
