Belarus-US Economic Ties Improve Due to Easing of Sanctions – Embassy Official
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – Belarusian companies that make transportation equipment and provide related services need to have limits removed by the Eurasian Economic Union in order to operate at full capacity, senior trade and economic-affairs counselor Siarhei Nahorny at Belarus' Embassy in Washington told Sputnik.

"We have a lot of restrictions so far for Belarusian carriers that provide transportation between countries of [the trade bloc] and Europe," Nahorny stated. "We need many different international licenses and permits."

Nahorny said Belarus, as one of the Eurasian bloc’s five members (the others are Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia), has been working for years to promote its trade interests, including through policies for uniform prices and tax-free transactions within the group.

"It is the cornerstone of equal competition between our manufacturers," he said. "It is the main goal of the union."

Negotiations on removing such limits continue, but current expectations are that an agreement will be enacted by 2025, Nahorny asserted, adding that Belarus’ government would prefer that it occurred sooner.
