BISHKEK, 14 April (BelTA) – The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) should focus on the effort to eliminate barriers and restrictions on its market, Belarusian Minister of Foreign Affairs Vladimir Makei told reporters on 14 April, BelTA has learned.

“The head of state presented his vision for further development of the organization. We believe that we should pay more attention to deepening the integration. We should focus on the restrictions that persist in our mutual trade hampering our effective participation in this organization and our effort to create a single economic space,” Vladimir Makei said.

Recent years have seen a decline in the trade between the EAEU member states. However, the trade showed some signs of revival in early 2017. The rise can possibly be explained by the general improvement of the global situation. All these processes will be analyzed and thoroughly studied.

“We believe that we should pay more attention to removing the barriers and restrictions in our internal trade within the single economic space,” the minister emphasized.
