It is needed to create at least equal conditions for the operation of Belarusian free economic zones (FEZs) on the market of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said at the session to discuss the operation and development of free economic zones.
“In the near future, starting from 1 January 2017, the terms of work of FEZ resident companies will change significantly. The documents passed within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union abolish certain customs privileges. We have to take these requirements into account,” the President said.
Alexander Lukashenko remarked that the government has prepared proposals in the form of a draft decree aimed at raising the investment appeal of FEZs and stimulating the investment activities of resident companies.
