The negotiations on establishing a free trade zone between Israel and
the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) of Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and
Armenia may switch to a final stage already this April, Israel's
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said in an exclusive interview with
TASS on Tuesday.
"We are now considering and very intensively working on creating a
free trade zone [with the Eurasian Economic Union]. This will allow us
to significantly boost our mutual trade," Lieberman said, marking good
progress in this issue.
Earlier on Tuesday, Israel's foreign minister held a meeting with
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich. "We discussed this.
If we speak about the real time framework, we hope that in April they
will switch to a final stage," he said.
Lieberman reminded that the Customs Union of Belarus, Kazakhstan and
Russia signed similar documents with Vietnam. "This is the first such
model and we hope to be the second one," he said.
The minister said both sides have been working rather intensively and
are rather satisfied by the effort. "This is a complex system and a
complex agreement which includes many parameters: standardization,
customs procedures and many other things, but everything is going
forward normally," he said.
