OREANDA-NEWS. April 28, 2014. Senate of the Kazakh Parliament adopted the draft law "On denouncement of the Agreement on common export control Eurasian Economic Community member states.

It was presented to the deputies by Vice Prime Minister - Minister of Industry and New Technologies Asset Issekeshev.

In particular, he said that the agreement was ratified by Kazakhstan in 2005. However, it came into force in December 2007, except for certain articles which come into effect only from the date of accession of the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan to the single customs territory of the EurAsEC.

"Some of its articles in case of adoption allow free movement of goods and technologies subject to export control on the territory of EurAsEC member states. However, after the establishment of the Customs Union agreement does not work in connection with the new integration processes at the present time, because its rules do not meet today's national export control system and interests of the country in whole," A.Issekeshev said.

In addition, according to the Minister, the Agreement has issues of threats to national security, as the list of products subject to export controls includes explosives, chemical, biological and nuclear materials.

"Instead of this agreement, the Customs Union will adopt other documents. The Presidents agreed on this in 2010," Deputy Prime Minister said.

According to the Committee on Economic Development and Entrepreneurship of the Senate, "mentioned articles in the event of their entry into force involve the free movement of goods and technologies subject to export control on the territory of EurAsEC members states (Kazakhstan, Russia , Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan)."

"Products subject to export control pose a threat in terms of its potential use for the manufacture of mass-destruction weapons, conventional arms, as well as direct use in terrorist activities. Thus, the uncontrolled movement of goods and technologies subject to export controls may lead to the breach of Kazakhstan's international commitment, including UN Security Council sanctions regimes and requirements of international expert control," committee concludes.
