Post #2160

As it is known, large-scale illegitimate restrictive measures have been introduced against the Russian Federation and Belarus by a number of unfriendly countries. The joint efforts help the Union to withstand unprecedented pressure. Pressure is still being put on our allies in order to discredit and weaken the #EAEU. Unlike the "collective West", Russia does not require its partners to "be friends with us against someone." At the same time, the de-dollarization of the economies of the Union member states is one of our priority. The share of overall payments in national currencies in mutual settlements between the #EAEU countries has already reached 75%. There is also a supranational regulatory body, the Eurasian Economic Commission (#EEC), that operates on a permanent basis within the EAEU. 🗳️Decision-making in the bodies of the Union that include Supreme Eurasian Economic Council (SEEC), Eurasian Intergovernmental Council (EMC), Eurasian Economic Commission Council is possible only by consensus. Each country has one vote, regardless of its economic potential, population or size of membership fees to the Union budget. Thus, the #EAEU is based on the principles of equality, mutual respect and consideration of the interests of all its participants. The existing close cooperation serves as a powerful source for economic development and, at the same time, contributes to the preservation of the national identity and state sovereignty of each member state. 📈Statistics data proves that participation in the Union brings substantial benefits to each member state. The growth of the combined GDP of all member states for the period from 2016 to 2022 was 9.6%. Almost 0.7% (more than 10 billion USD) is the contribution of Eurasian integration, which is a tangible and significant integration effect. All the member states recognize a positive effect resulting from the work of the Union. The results of several years of the Union's functioning prove that this integration project is successfully developing and brings concrete benefits to the economies, business communities and citizens of the countries involved. It is of great importance that international cooperation within the #EAEU is built on the basis of equality and mutual respect. #RussiaMFA#EAEU
