TREATY ON ARMENIA JOINING EEU RATIFIED BY RUSSIA'S FEDERATION COUNCIL
15:40, 17 Dec 2014
Armenia is to become a full-fledged member of the Eurasian Economic
Union after all ratification procedures are complete in the union
members, but no earlier than on January 1, 2015.
Russia's parliamentary upper house, the Federation Council, has
ratified a treaty for Armenia's accession to the Eurasian Economic
Union on Wednesday, TASS reports.
The accord was signed at a meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic
Union by the presidents of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Armenia
in Minsk on October 10. The deal is a basic document determining
agreements between Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan on the terms of
Armenia's joining the Eurasian Economic Union seeking to lay a legal
basis for functioning of the common Union.
The accord plans Armenia to become a full-fledged member of the
Eurasian Economic Union from the moment the treaty takes effect, so,
after all ratification procedures are complete in the union members,
but no earlier than on January 1, 2015. In particular, during the
transitional period Armenia as a member of the World Trade Organisation
(WTO) should revise its tariff liabilities under the WTO rules.
Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan have signed a treaty founding the
Eurasian Economic Union in Kazakhstan's capital Astana on May 29, 2014
which will take effect on January 1, 2015. On October 10, Armenia
inked the deal and Kyrgyzstan plans to become its next signatory
nation. Parliaments of Belarus and Kazakhstan should ratify the treaty
on Armenia's entry in the Eurasian Economic Union by January 1, 2015.
