“The implementation of the programmes enabled us to organise the work of our countries’ economies in conditions of external pressure, to form common rules in the transport and logistics sector, to give new impetus to trade-economic and investment interaction, to harmonise tax and customs legislation, to simplify the conditions for doing business, and to prevent a decline in living standards of our citizens,” noted Belarus’ Deputy Economy Minister.
