ArmInfo. Armenia is interested in exchanging information from the EAEU countries with  Vietnam, since in this case we are talking about a rapidly developing  market. Chairman of the State Revenue Committee of the Republic of  Armenia David Ananyan announced this during the hearings in the  commission on regional and Eurasian integration of the National  Assembly of Armenia on November 25. He presented the draft protocol  on the exchange of information between the countries of the Eurasian  Economic Union and Vietnam.

As David Ananyan noted, in July 2016 an agreement was signed between  the EAEU and Vietnam, one of the points of which concerned the  exchange of customs information on the mixing of goods and vehicles.   At the same time, it was planned to exchange information in three  stages - until October 5, 2018, until October 5, 2019, and until  October 5, 2021. However, taking into account the fact that Armenia  has not carried out all the procedures related to the ratification of  the protocol, information exchange is still not carried out. The  document also contains three additions that relate to the parameters,  content and group of goods for which information is to be exchanged.  The protocol strictly regulates information that is secret in nature.  It can be provided exclusively to the customs authorities of the EAEU  countries without the right to transfer to third parties. At the same  time, the Eurasian Economic Commission will carry out the exchange of  information within four hours after its receipt, which will  significantly increase the efficiency in decision-making. For  Armenia, as the head of the SRC noted, the presence of such a  document is very important, which eliminates the temptation to supply  products from other countries. David Ananyan noted that mainly  clothes are delivered from Vietnam to Armenia, and alcohol is  exported in the opposite direction.

To recall, on July 28 in Brussels (Belgium), the heads of customs  services of the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and  the Socialist Republic of Vietnam signed a Protocol on the  implementation of information exchange.
