President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev has signed the treaty on
Armenia's accession to the Eurasian Economic Union, the President's
press service said.
The treaty 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.
