Putin agreed Customs Union should eliminate any exemptions from separate provisions within union

MINSK, October 24 (Itar-Tass) - Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed that the Customs Union states should work on the elimination of any exemptions from separate provisions within the union. The presidents of Belarus and Kazakhstan raised this issue at a meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council at the level of the heads of states.

“Certainly, we should work on the elimination of any exemptions and any mutual preferences,” Putin agreed. “We should provide equal conditions, this is big amount of work, but this work should be done in both directions, there should be some compromise that suits all,” the president said.
