Entrepreneurs of the Eurasian
Economic Union (EAEU) can now secure phytosanitary certificates, according to
new changes in the EAEU Treaty ratified by the members of the Senate, an Upper
House of the Kazakh Parliament. MPs said the amendments would facilitate the digital
traceability of fruit and vegetable batches from field to fork. Failure to
incorporate decisions from the Eurasian Economic Commission into legislative
updates will result in fines. The agreement introduces a mechanism for repeat
anti-dumping investigations, aiming to protect domestic entrepreneurs from
unfair trade practices by manufacturers from third countries. In total, the protocol encompasses 106
amendments to the EAEU agreement.
“These changes are aimed at
improving legal relations in the field of trade, economy, and taxation within
the organization. The protocol also addresses several other issues, such as
labor migration and customs control. We hope that the law will reinforce
cooperation among the EAEU member states,” said Senate Chairperson Maulen
Ashimbayev.
