Particular attention was paid to matters of common customs regulation in cooperation in ensuring food security, and also in the energy sector.
The meeting participants continued work on a draft action plan (roadmap) for the implementation of the The Eurasian Economic Path, the Declaration on further development of economic processes within the Eurasian Economic Union until 2030 and for the period until 2045. At present, the parties have agreed on 342 actions jaid out in the plan.
The key macroeconomic policy guidelines for EAEU member states for 2026–2027 were approved for submission to the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council (SEEC). The report on the implementation of previous macroeconomic guidelines for 2024–2025 shows growth in key economic indicators, including:
- mutual trade among member states increased by 8.1 percent;
- industrial production within the Union grew by 4.5 percent;
- investment in fixed assets increased by 7.5 percent.
A recommendation of the EEC Council was adopted on the harmonisation of EAEU member states’ legislation regarding key concepts and definitions used in securities market regulation and on setting requirements for securities market intermediaries (brokers). The Council also approved a recommendation on harmonising legislation on the admission of insurance organisations to the EAEU's common financial market.
During the meeting, a draft regulation of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council was supported, introducing new approaches to the harmonisation of regulation within the common EAEU financial market. The document provides for a multi-level (differentiated) approach to aligning legislation across member states in the development of a unified financial market.
The Council approved a draft resolution of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council that endorses plans for the liberalisation of mutual trade in construction project management services. These liberalisation plans aim to align regulatory regimes for specific types of construction-related services, create equal conditions for service providers across the EAEU member states, and ensure non-discriminatory access to each other’s markets.
A decision was also adopted regarding the labelling of natural fur garments, providing for a gradual transition from control (identification) marks to labelling with a two-dimensional Data Matrix barcode.
The EEC Council approved a draft Concept for the Development of Tourism within the EAEU. Its implementation will focus on unlocking member states’ tourism potential, increasing mutual tourist flows, enhancing competitiveness in the tourism sector, and promoting the member states’ tourism products in global markets.
