- Armenia's accession to the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) will entail
talks on compensation for its World Trade Organization (WTO) partners,
Russian First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov told journalists
in Sochi after an EEU meeting on Monday.
"If Armenia successfully joins our format, signs the agreement and it
is ratified", negotiations would start according to WTO procedures as
"the situation will change for Armenia's trade partners", he said.
Armenia's rates agreed when it joined the WTO in February 2003 were
lower for certain products than unified customs rates in the Customs
Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.
Monday's meeting decided to co-ordinate central issues of Armenian
accession to the EEU by the end of the week and prepare an agreement
for signing by July 1, Shuvalov added.
