Uzbekistan reportedly explores the issue of joining the Eurasian Economic Union

Chairperson of Russia’s upper house (Federation Council) of parliament, Mrs. Valentina Matviyenko has noted during a meeting with Mr. Nuriddinjon Ismailov, Chairman of Uzbekistan’s lower house (Qonunchilik palatasi – Legislative Chamber) of parliament), that Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev has decided to explore the issue of accession of Uzbekistan to the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), according to RIA Novosti.  

After this, Russia will have new opportunities for bilateral cooperation and certain barriers and obstacles existing in relations between the two countries will be removed, Russian speaker noted.  

“If this happens, then of course it will be a huge deal, because this is in line with international practices and takes into account globalization processes.  I hope the approval process will not be delayed and we will have an opportunity to collaborate in the framework of Eurasian family,” Matviyenko was cited as saying by RIA Novosti.  

The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) is an economic union of states located primarily in northern Eurasia.  A treaty aiming for the establishment of the EAEU was signed on May 29, 2014 by the leaders of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia, and came into force on January 1, 2015.  Treaties aiming for Armenia's and Kyrgyzstan's accession to the Eurasian Economic Union were signed on October 9 and December 23, 2014, respectively.  Armenia's accession treaty came into force on January 2, 2015.  Kyrgyzstan's accession treaty came into effect on August 6, 2015.

The Eurasian Economic Union has an integrated single market of 183 million people and a gross domestic product of over 4 trillion U.S. dollars (PPP).  The EEU introduces the free movement of goods, capital, services and people and provides for common transport, agriculture and energy policies, with provisions for a single currency and greater integration in the future.  The union operates through supranational and intergovernmental institutions.  The Supreme Eurasian Economic Council is the “Supreme Body” of the Union, consisting of the Heads of the Member States.  The other supranational institutions are the Eurasian Commission (the executive body), the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council (consisting of the Prime Ministers of member states) and the Court of the EEU (the judicial body).
