  • Eurasian Review No
    www.belinstitute.eu Eurasian Review No. 1, 2014 Pinnacle of the big Eurasian game Andrei Yeliseyeu The day is drawing nearer when the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union (EAU) is scheduled to be signed—29 May 2014—and so is the pinnacle of the big integration game in the former Soviet Union (FSU). Apparently, the debate between the Eurasian partners concerning political and economic issues will continue even after the agreement has been signed, the more so because a full-scale common market based on the achievement of “four freedoms” (free movement of goods, services, workforce and capital) with no exceptions and exemptions will not be launched starting 2015. However, the EAU Treaty cements the system of decision-making within the Union and fixes the basic economic rules of the game, thus identifying the balance between costs and benefits of each party for the short- and medium term, therefore so much is at stake now. Eurasian integration as a breakthrough stage Unlike previous FSU integration initiatives that proved ineffective, the Customs Union (CU), Eurasian Economic Community (EurAsEC) and the Common Economic Space (CES) turned out to be operational institutions, albeit with numerous exclusions from the principles of free trade. Unlike their less successful integration predecessors in the region, the CU and CES commitments are put not only on paper, but also in practice. As of today, Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan apply unified rates of customs duties to third countries, have eliminated many non-tariff trade barriers and are working hard to unify standards and norms in various areas, have lifted bans on labor migration and are making arrangements for the coordination of their macroeconomic and agro-industrial policies.
