ArmInfo.The preliminary results of 2018 were summed up by the prospects for Eurasian integration, outlined by the head of the Eurasian Economic Commission  (EEC) Board, Tigran Sargsyan at the plenary session of the EEU  International Forum, organized at the National Research University  Higher School of Economics together with the EEC.  

Priorities of the Russian Presidency in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) bodies in  2018 - eliminating the remaining barriers, exemptions and  restrictions, intensifying efforts to create common markets for goods  and services, ensuring conditions for the free movement of capital  and labor, bringing together monetary and monetary policies of the  EAEU member states and the creation of a single financial market in  the future, as well as the implementation of a common digital agenda  for the Union. "I am confident that the implementation of priorities  will increase the effectiveness of our cooperation within the EAEU  and solve a number of important tasks, including deepening  integration, removing barriers, exemptions and restrictions,  overcoming ''underintegration''," he stressed.

Speaking to the students, Tigran Sargsyan noted that among the  priorities of the Russian chairmanship is also cooperation in the  humanitarian sphere, which is not yet in the mandate of the EEC.  However, the Commission, realizing the importance of this trend,  attaches particular importance to it. "The EEC pays great attention  to work with young people. We are faced with the task of forming the  Eurasian elite in the Union countries that would promote the idea of  Eurasian integration," Tigran Sargsyan stressed. He said that the  Commission attaches great importance to the involvement of the  scientific community in the work of the EEC, contacts with leading  universities of the EAEU countries have been established. As part of  this cooperation, the Chairman of the EEC Board regularly gives  lectures to students and young scientists.

An important part of the strategic development of the Union is the  creation of large projects in which all EAEU countries would  participate. "We want to enter the world market with Eurasian brands  - recognizable, jointly released products and new technologies", said  the Chairman of the EEC Board.

The formation of a Eurasian jewelry brand, the development of joint  digital projects of the Member States, the best of which will be  scaled, the prospects for further development of the EAEU are linked  to the operation of 14 innovative Eurasian priority technology  platforms.
