The dictator was dissatisfied with his visit to Kazakhstan and the EACU work.

Astana hosts meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council. The event was opened by President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev. In particular, he said that he and his colleagues had already discussed in private the EACU cooperation with China, India, Israel, Egypt, Iran, Cambodia and other countries, total.kz reports.

Then Aliaksandr Lukashenka took the lead.

“Unfortunately, things did not go as we had planned. Problems still remain. We have discussed today the ills of the day. First of all it is necessary to transform the theoretical achievements into practical ones. First of all we should get rid of domestic seizures and mutual trade restrictions. No matter how our association would develop – first the Customs Union, then the Single Economic Space, finally the EACU – the number of these seizures and restrictions have not changed. It remained at the level of 600. Equal conditions for the Member states of the Eurasian Economic Union and barrier-free environment have not been established yet. Moreover, after signing the treaty our domestic sales turnover is only falling down. In 2012-2013 it was at the level of $ 65 billion dollars. In 2015, it was only 45 billion dollars. Apparently, not all the clauses of the treaty correspond to the current situation in the economy and our expectations,” – the Belarusian dictator said.

Then he demanded step up the work on the integration of the energy markets.

“Along with this, we have been discussing the creation of the single market of medicines and medical devices. But it has ended in talk,” – he added.

“We have to be strong ourselves, it is necessary to strengthen our alliance. Then it will be easier to carry on the dialogue with the European Union, with China and others. Then we will be strong and we will speak with one voice. It is yet to seek. And without it, the EACU will not be able to implement effectively both internal and foreign policy,” – Aliaksandr Lukashenka concluded.

Nursultan Nazarbayev promised to take into account Lukashenka’s comments.
