YEREVAN. – The World Trade Organization (WTO)-Armenia collaboration
working group is being set up within the framework of
the–Russia-led–Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), Deputy Minister of
Finance Suren Karayan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

He added that the aforesaid group will comprise representatives from
the ministries and agencies that determine the economic policy of the
EEU member countries (Armenia, Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan).

“The process of setting up the working group has already begun. It
will discuss Armenia’s cooperation with the WTO, in light of the
[country’s] EEU accession,” Karayan noted.

After Armenia’s joining the Eurasian Economic Union and the resultant
change in the customs duties, the country will need to conduct talks
with the World Trade Organization member countries which might declare
a violation of their interests when conducting trade with Armenia.
