In connection with the EEC's planned meeting on October 9, 2025, to discuss the draft EAEU technical regulation "Technical Regulations for Nicotine-Containing and Nicotine-Free Products" in preparation for the national approval process, the Association has submitted proposals to the EEC for revising the technical regulations.

In accordance with Resolution No. 528 of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus dated September 25, 2025, the introduction of identification marking on soft drinks and juices has been postponed to May 1, 2026.

Draft EAEU recommendations on the inclusion of dividends in customs value have been submitted to the Association of European Businesses for review.

The reasons cited for the abolition of marking for these product items include the need to upgrade production facilities to accommodate marking, increased logistics costs for product delivery, and increased production costs, which reduces profitability.

The Association of European Businesses supported the measures proposed by the business community of the EAEU, aimed at improving measures to prevent the illegal circulation of tobacco products.
