Armenian government approves document on accession to Eurasian economic bloc

This issue topped the agenda of the Armenian government's meeting chaired by Vice-Premier Ovik Abramyan. "Upon joining the Treaty, Armenia becomes a member of the Eurasian Economic Union," the document says. From this moment, acts of the Eurasian Economic Union will be applied on the territory of Armenia, according to the document. The document's addenda highlight 29 agreements, which Armenia will join, the terms of the republic's membership in the Eurasian Economic Union and transitional provisions. A separate addendum contains a list of goods and services subject to customs duties during the transitional period that differ from the levies effective in the customs union of the Eurasian economic bloc, TASS reports.
