Certainly, business and other Customs Union countries welcome this," said Vladimir Salamatov.

“We believe all necessary procedures on forming the Eurasian Economic Union will be completed by 1 January 2015,” he said. In addition, exceptions that exist in the legal framework of the Customs Union will removed, and we will switch to a unified system of regulation of the freedom of movement of goods, services, capital and labor," said Vladimir Salamatov. This is the basis to move forward more actively towards closer partnership.
