ASTANA. July 1. KAZINFORM/Kanat Kulshmanov/ Since July 1, 2010 the Customs Code of the Customs Union enters into force on the territory of Russia and Kazakhstan. RK Minister of Finances Bolat Zhamishev said it at the briefing in Astana today.
"Since today the single Customs Code of the Customs Union enters into force. This means that several types of customs control remained at the Kazakh-Russian border; they will be abolished since July 1, 2011", B. Zhamishev said.
According to the Minister, the Belarusian Parliament ratified the Customs Code yesterday night. But, as he added, the Belarusian side had to inform Kazakhstan and Russia of its decision. "This will demonstrate that the Customs Union will function across the territory of three countries", B. Zhamishev stressed.
"Today, the legislation of the CU is valid only on the territory of Kazakhstan and Russia", he concluded.
