The document sets a framework for joint projects and thematic events. It prioritises trade, industry, transport, energy, customs cooperation, technical regulation, and sanitary, veterinary and phytosanitary measures.
Implementation should invigorate trade and economic dialogue between EAEU states and CIS countries that are not Union members and expand experience sharing between the Commission and CIS structures. The underlying memorandum was signed on 27 November 2018.
