Kazakh Senate approves law on agricultural trade within EAEU

It will be easier for the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) member states to develop electronic trade in agricultural products. The Senate, an upper house of the Kazakh Parliament, has ratified an agreement signed between the EAEU member countries in Moscow last year. The document regulates the issuance, circulation, and cancellation of warehouse receipts within the EAEU, defining the main requirements for them. At the same time, each member country will determine the types of agricultural products eligible for these receipts according to its national legislation. In addition, the states are obliged to provide and receive necessary information through a unified Internet resource.

«Notably, this agreement is based on the practice of legislative regulation of grain receipt turnover in Kazakhstan. In general, its implementation requires no state budget funding and poses no adverse socio-economic or legal impacts,» said Senate Member Zakirzhan Kuziyev.
