Belarus will closely monitor the development of concepts of the formation of energy markets in the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), Belarus’ Premier Andrei Kobyakov told reporters following the first meeting of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council at the Gorki residence of the Russian government. “Presiding in the EEU, Belarus will keep track on the elaboration of concepts of the formation of common energy markets and the program of gradual liberalization of transportation services,” Andrei Kobyakov said.
The Belarusian Prime Minister informed that as he presided the session of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council he put forward a number of specific proposals on the further promotion of the Eurasian integration. “There are plans to intensify the work of the Eurasian Economic Commission to remove exemptions and restrictions in the mutual trade in 2015. Belarus has reiterated many times that the work of the commission should be more efficient. This pertains to the trade in commodities and the most common types of services, including transportation services,” Andrei Kobyakov noted.
