The deputies of the State Duma at the first meeting of the autumn session ratified the agreement between Russia and Belarus on the harmonization of customs legislation and cooperation in this area, reported on the site “Duma-TV”.
The document was submitted to the lower house of parliament in early July by the Russian government. The agreement itself was signed on February 28, 2022 in Moscow and on March 4 in Minsk. The document provides for cooperation between the customs services of Russia and Belarus in the creation of an interstate center for coordinating work on risk management in the structure of the customs committee of the Union State, the exchange of information, joint customs control and monitoring of customs operations, etc. The interstate center will determine the objects of joint customs control, initiate joint activities for established mobile groups.
Former Russian government approved a draft Russian-Belarusian agreement on uniform rules of competition, which will contribute to the harmonization of the antimonopoly legislation of the two countries.
Last autumn, the presidents of Russia and Belarus, Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko, signed the Union State’s integration decree, approved the military doctrine and the migration concept. Such cooperation between the two countries has been discussed since 1999. As a result, last year the presidents agreed on union programs aimed at convergence and harmonization in macroeconomic, monetary and industrial policy, and tax legislation.
