Russia’s export potential is an interactive platform to aid foreign trade operators. The system allows to find trade partners and to cooperate with the Eurasian Economic Commission, which is negotiating on integration agreement conclusion, improving Eurasian Economic Union products and services access to external market.
The platform accumulates all the information on export and import company plans linked with product and country, and also about trade barriers. This allows to take into account the interests of businesses, including small and medium-sized enterprises, in making decisions about improving market access for countries - trade partners. Russia is currently involved in negotiations to conclude an agreement on Free trade area (FTA) between the participating States of the Customs Union and Vietnam. In addition to that, the establishment of a Free trade area of the CU with India is being elaborated, and a special joint committee began to explore the prospects to establish Free trade area between CU and Israel.
