The Eurasian Economic Union does not justify itself as an economic union, said Belarusian MP Valery Voronetsky on Thursday within the Moscow-Bishkek-Yerevan-Minsk-Nur-Sultan video bridge.

According to him, the economic union involves the development of a single economic policy, coordination of actions in all sectors of the economy, including energy, transport, standardization. 

He noted that many customs restrictions remain; a common market for a number of goods has not been formed. The participating countries, instead of strengthening the potential of the entire Union, pursue a protectionist policy using a consumer approach,” he said.

The MP noted the special role of Russia within Eurasian Union, on the actions of which a lot depends.
