- On January 30, at the meeting of the EAEU Council, Kyrgyzstan proposed to clarify the new procedure for quarantine phytosanitary control, which affects the export supplies of vegetables, fruits, berries, and other goods to Russia. According to Kanybek uulu Elimbek, head of the EAEU Coordination Department of the Ministry of Economy of the Kyrgyz Republic, at a press conference held on February 3, there have been instances where incorrect information about recipients was indicated in the certificates, which created difficulties during delivery.
“In case of repeated violations within a year, the issuance of the certificate will be suspended for 60 days. Upon the first violation, the sender will simply be notified,” he added.

Additionally, the meeting discussed the regulation of external electronic trade, which will come into effect in July 2026. After ratification, goods supplied through online platforms will be exempt from duties up to 200 euros. A rate of 5% will be established for other goods, but not less than 1 euro per kilogram.

Kyrgyzstan also supported the initiative to create a mechanism for financial assistance for industrial cooperation within the EAEU. This mechanism provides for preferential financing of joint industrial and agro-industrial projects, primarily for small economies, including the Kyrgyz Republic.

Kanybek uulu Elimbek reported that the document has already been agreed upon at the level of prime ministers and is being sent for domestic procedural approval.
The acts related to these initiatives have already been adopted within the Union, and preparations for their implementation are currently underway, including explanatory work with businesses.
