The cancelation of restrictions of Kyrgyzstan on import of poultry and poultry products of Kazakhstan  

The department of economic integration of NCE RK "Atameken" informs about the removal of temporary restrictions on import of poultry and poultry products from the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan from 27^th of March 2017, as well as cancelation of restrictions on the import of livestock controlled products from a number of regions of the Russian Federation. It should be reminded that earlier Kazakhstani poultry industry entrepreneurs faced problems of access to the Kyrgyz market due to the fact that in November 2016, referring to information from unofficial sources about the outbreak of avian influenza in Kazakhstan, by the Resolution of the State Inspectorate for Veterinary and Phyto-sanitary Security under the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic dated by 26^th of October 2016 No. 16, a ban on import of Kazakhstan poultry products was introduced. The restrictions imposed by the Kyrgyz side caused substantial material damage to the Kazakhstan poultry business. So, for the period that has elapsed since the introduction of the limitation, losses accounted for about a third of the total volume of export of food eggs, that is, about 45-50 million pieces or 1.5-2 billion tenge. The Department of Economic Integration, in turn, sent a written request to the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan about the difficulties encountered by domestic entrepreneurs and the need for an early settlement of the current situation, which negatively affects not only the domestic poultry industry, but also the general commodity turnover with Kyrgyzstan. In addition, this issue was voiced by Dana Zhunusova, a member of the Board of NCE RK Atameken, during a roundtable on 16^th of February 2017 on the topic "Participation of the business community in identifying obstacles in the internal market of the EAEU" with the participation of a member of the Collegium, the Minister for Internal Markets , Informatization, Information and Communication Technologies of the Eurasian Economic Commission Karine Minosyan. The Ministry of Agriculture of Kazakhstan made a significant contribution to the solution of this situation. A number of written appeals addressed to the authorized state body in the field of veterinary safety of the Kyrgyz Republic with justified requirements for the removal of restrictions, as well as negotiations were held repeatedly between the leadership of the veterinary bodies of the parties. As a result of the joint work carried out by the Ministry and the Department of Economic Integration of NCE, restrictions on the importation of Kazakh poultry meat and poultry products from the Kyrgyz side were abolished on 27^th of March 2017 by the relevant Resolution of the State Inspectorate for Veterinary and Phyto-sanitary Security under the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic, which was reported in Official written notification of the authorized body of the Kyrgyz Republic, received by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Currently, the conditions for the movement of Kazakhstan's products of the poultry industry have been restored and are being implemented in a regular mode, in accordance with veterinary safety standards of the EAEU. In addition, the Department of Economic Integration previously informed domestic importers and carriers of agricultural products that on 20^th of October 2016, in the official notification of the International Epizootic Bureau, a report was published on the case of foot and mouthdisease registration on the territory of Vyshmanovo village of the Vladimir region of the Russian Federation (serotype Asia- 1). In this connection, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan on 25^th of October has imposed restrictions on importing susceptible animal, animal products, feed and feed additives for animals of animal and vegetable origin to the Republic of Kazakhstan from the territory of the regions of the Russian Federation.

Currently, according to the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan, due to the recognition by the International Epizootic Bureau of the "Decision on establishing the status of the regions of the Russian Federation for infectious animal diseases and the conditions for the movement of goods under the control of state supervision" approved by Acting President. Head of the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phyto-sanitary Supervision Nikolay Vlasov, since March 18, 2017, all restrictions on foot and mouth disease regarding farm animals and livestock products have been canceled in relation to most of the subjects of the Russian Federation.
