Eurasian integration needs acceleration

Development of the Eurasian economical community shall be activated to the maximum, announced the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko at the meeting of the General Secretary of organization Tair Mansurov.

“Tempo of development of the Eurasian Economical Community at the present time doesn’t correspond with the tasks, which we set for them”, — Alexander Luka­shenko is confirmed.

“Our position for Eurasian integration is known. Formation of the Customs Union as a free and open zone is a great aim, in the name of which it is worth working”, — underlined the President of Belarus. The Head of the State reminded, that on the territories of the member countries of the Eurasian Economical Community live 206 million people, and this is a solid market of goods and services.

According to Alexander Lukashenko, notwithstanding the fact, that economy of the member countries in the near future will develop actively, even taking into account those barriers, which exist now, functioning of the Eurasian Economical Community can hardly be effective enough.

“The Customs Union has to provide real freedom of capital transfer. We have experience — this is experience of the USSR. I assure you, that you will always find a tower of strength in Belarus”, — said Alexander Lukashenko, addressing Tair Mansurov.

After the meeting with the President of Belarus, the General Secretary of the Eurasian Economical Community shared his opinion to the journalists, commenting the process of Eurasian integration, that the member states of the Eurasian Economical Community shall critically view subsidiary institutions of the community.

According to Tair Mansurov, the summit of the Eurasian Economical Community in St. Petersburg under the chairmanship of Alexander Lukashenko has clearly distinguished topical problems of the Eurasian Economical Community and ways of their solution. “Many mini­stries and establishments of the member countries don’t pay proper attention to the development of the Community”, — considers the General secretary of the Eurasian Economical Community. “Practical business will really testify on Community development.Unfortunately, projects of the Eurasian Economical Community are implemented valuably only by three participants of the Community: Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan”, — noted Tair Mansurov.
