Babich: Russia Starts Union Treaty Inventory

Babich: Russia Starts Union Treaty Inventory
MIKHAIL BABICH

The Russian part of the group began work.

Russian representatives of a joint with Intergovernmental Working Group on deepening integration have begun an inventory screening of the union state treaty, Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation on trade and economic cooperation with Belarus, Ambassador Mikhail Babich announced this to journalists on Wednesday.

“The Russian part of the group has begun work. We are currently taking inventory of all the provisions of the union agreement by blocks: economic, social, governmental, security and military-technical. All aspects of the treaty, which were laid in 1999, are being reviewed by the relevant government authorities [in Russia],” – the Ambassador of the Russian Federation noted answering the questions from TASS.

Babich stressed that “the special thing about about this work is that the Eurasian Treaty was signed five years ago.” “Part of the union treaty provisions has already been withdrawn and leveled up to the Eurasian level. Therefore, it is important not to duplicate the powers transferred to the Eurasian bodies, but to preserve the legal relations that should be in a bilateral format within the framework of the union treaty,” – the head of the Russian diplomatic mission said.

The ambassador said that as soon as the proposals are brought together, the Russian side will offer their Belarusian partners to examine them and to express their comments and suggestions. “We hope that the Belarusian side will do the same,” – Babich said. “Later we will hold a joint meeting of the working group, where we will pointedly distribute the tasks in order to find all proposals within the framework of the project [integration proposals] for the report presented to the presidents,” – the special envoy of Vladimir Putin said.
