Among the most important details of this solution, it is worth noting:

The technical regulations of the Customs Union are developed only for products included in the Unified List, if the EurAsEC technical regulations have not been adopted for such products. In case of adoption of the technical regulation of the EurAsEC in relation to products for which the technical regulation of the Customs Union has been adopted, the technical regulation of the Customs Union or its corresponding part shall be terminated from the date of entry into force of the technical regulation of the EurAsEC.

The technical regulations of the Customs Union may contain specific requirements that reflect the features associated with the climatic and geographical features of the CU member states or technological factors, and are valid only on the territory of such states. Mandatory confirmation of product compliance with the requirements of the technical regulations of the Customs Union is carried out in the form of a declaration of conformity or certification. Procedures for assessment (confirmation) of conformity are established in the technical regulations of the Customs Union on the basis of standard schemes for assessment (confirmation) of conformity.

The task was given to the Coordinating Committee for Technical Regulation, the Application of Sanitary, Veterinary and Phytosanitary Measures to submit proposals on the EurAsEC technical regulations for consideration by the CCC, which must be adopted as a matter of priority as technical regulations of the CU, and the member states of the CU to work out the issue of suspending the entry into force of national technical regulations , objects of regulation, which coincide with the objects of technical regulations of the EurAsEC and the issue of clarifying the scope of distribution and application of documents confirming the compliance of products with the established requirements in the field of technical regulation and sanitary measures within the framework of the Customs Union.

The main direction of development of work on technical regulation in Russia is to integrate the country into international activities to form a unified system of technical regulation on the territory of the Customs Union (hereinafter referred to as the CU)" and the Eurasian Economic Community (EurAsEC).

The formation of a unified system of technical regulation will be facilitated by the creation of a common economic space of the CIS countries and the implementation of the Roadmap for a common economic space with the European Union.

The member countries of the EurAsEC are Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Tajikistan. Observer countries are Armenia, Moldova, Uzbekistan, Ukraine.

Technical regulation within the framework of the Customs Union is carried out in accordance with the Agreement on Uniform Principles and Rules for Technical Regulation in the Customs Union (Appendix 1).

Agreement on Uniform Principles and Rules for Technical Regulation in the Customs Union (Agreement). It performs the role of a supranational law in the field of technical regulation.

In Art. 1 of the Agreement (see Annex 1) defines the concept of "technical regulation of the Customs Union" (hereinafter referred to as TR CU) as an interstate document that establishes mandatory requirements for the objects of the regulation and is approved by a special supranational body - Commission of the Customs Union (similar to the EU Commission - the highest executive body of the European Union).

In accordance with paragraph 4 of Art. 3 and paragraph 3 of Art. 5 TR TS are intended to replace national TRs in the mandatory area. In accordance with Art. 2 TR CU have direct effect on the entire territory of the CU. This is one of the fundamental differences between the TR CU and the technical regulations of the Eurasian Economic Community (hereinafter referred to as the TR EurAsEC), accession to which is carried out by ratifying international treaties within the framework of the EurAsEC by each of the parties.

Subjects of technical regulation in the Customs Union are:

Commission of the Customs Union (since January 1, 2012 - the Eurasian Economic Commission);
empowered national authorities for technical regulation of the states of the Russian Federation, the Republic of Belarus and the Republic of Kazakhstan (hereinafter referred to as the Bodies of the parties);
Coordinating Committee for Technical Regulation, Application of Sanitary, Veterinary and Phytosanitary Measures (hereinafter referred to as the Committee).

Commission TC supervises the work on technical regulation. An important function of the Commission is to consider the draft TR CU and adopt it. The Commission accepts documents in the field of technical regulation - unified lists of products (a fragment of the Unified List is shown in Appendix 9), lists of certification bodies and testing laboratories (centers), unified documents, Regulations on the procedure for importing products, etc.

The working body of the Commission is the Secretariat of the Commission.

Bodies of the parties form and maintain the national parts of the Unified Register of certification bodies and testing laboratories, the Unified Register of issued certificates of conformity and registered declarations of conformity. The national authorities of the Party responsible for the development of the TR CU develop the draft TR CU taking into account the proposals of the authorities of the Parties and the current national TRs. The bodies of the Parties shall publish the text of the adopted TR CU on the official websites and in the official printed publication of the technical regulation bodies of the Parties.

Coordinating Committee solves such problems as coordinating the decisions of the authorized bodies of the parties; consideration of issues of violation of the mandatory requirements established in the regulatory acts of the Customs Union; preparation of recommendations for improving activities in the field of technical regulation; analysis of the practice of applying sanitary, veterinary and phytosanitary measures within the framework of the Customs Union

The governments of the CU countries made conceptual decisions on the transition in the field of technical regulation to uniform mandatory requirements for products and rules for their admission to the common market by adopting technical regulations. Within the framework of the Customs Union, it is planned to develop and adopt 57 TRs.

The object of technical regulation in accordance with Art. 3 of the Agreement is a single list of products for which mandatory requirements are established within the framework of the Customs Union (hereinafter referred to as the Single List).

This list includes 61 objects - groups of homogeneous products, including consumer goods such as food, toys, perfumes and cosmetics, furniture products, synthetic detergents, low-voltage equipment, etc. (see the fragment of the Unified List in Appendix 9 ).

For products included in the single list, for which the CU TR or EurAsEC TR have not entered into force, the norms of the CU legislation or the legislation of the Parties in the field of technical regulation apply.

A single list and the procedure for one hundred introductions are approved by the CU Commission. The Parties do not allow the establishment in their legislation of mandatory requirements for products that are not included in a single list.

CU TRs are developed only for products included in the unified list, if EurAsEC TRs have not been adopted for such products.

Purposes and structure of developed technical regulations do not fundamentally differ from the described technical regulations of the Russian Federation.

In the structural element "Safety clause" there are provisions according to which Member States, guided by the protection of their legitimate interests, can take measures to prevent access to the market for products that do not comply with the TR. In addition, provisions are cited for States that have applied a safeguard clause to notify other Member States of the withdrawal from the market of such products.

In accordance with the decision of the Commission of the Customs Union, products are marked with the Unified Mark of Circulation on the Market of the Member States of the Customs Union (Fig. 8, b).

From the date of entry into force of the TR CU in the territories of the Parties, the relevant mandatory requirements established by the legislation of the Parties shall not apply.

The regulatory legal framework of the Customs Union and the procedure for confirming the requirements of the TR CU are discussed in Sec. 7 ch. 4.

State supervision over compliance with the requirements of technical regulations is carried out in the manner prescribed by the legislation of each Party.

The authorized bodies of the Parties, when establishing non-compliance with the requirements of the TR CU or when hazardous products are identified, send relevant information as soon as possible to Integrated information system of foreign and mutual trade The Customs Union, notify the authorized bodies of other Parties about this and take measures to prevent such products from entering the territory of the Parties.

Responsibility for non-compliance with the requirements of TR CU is established by the legislation of each Party.

Program for the development of technical regulations is determined as a result of an agreed decision of the governments of the CU countries. A conceptual decision was made on the transition in the field of technical regulation to uniform mandatory requirements for products and rules for their admission to the common market by adopting uniform supranational technical regulations.
