Viktor Khristenko: Atameken is the only organization in the Eurasian space with a strong legislative base
President of the EAEU Business Council Viktor Khristenko noted the uniqueness of Atameken on the territory of the EAEU, speaking at the Congress of NCE RK Atameken in Astana, he stressed that none of the EAEU member states has a similar practice of creating such a tool for business legislated by the Government of the country, to represent and protect the interests of business. "Today, the National Chamber "Atameken" is the only organization in the Eurasian region that has such a strong legislative base for mutual relations with the executive branch on all significant issues related to business. And this is a colossal achievement", - Viktor Khristenko noted. He said that in Russia the concept of public-private partnership was defined as the unity of goals, the consolidation of resources and the sharing of risks. As a result of this partnership, the neighbors managed to consolidate their business positions in the most important sectors of the economy and give a new impetus to development by combining the goals of the state and business, pooling resources and sharing risks. "You managed to move much further in this situation, consolidating these things in your legislation", - said the President of the EAEU Business Council. However, with the cooperation of government and business, there are two types of risks, Khristenko believes. This is the risk that business structures can begin to bureaucratize, and the executive power - will lose motivation and will wait for it from the business. However, he expressed confidence that Kazakhstan will manage to avoid these risks. Regarding the activities of the Business Council, Viktor Khristenko noted that it is going according to plan and is determined by the amount of supranational legislation that exists. Work is under way on a trade and economic agreement with the People's Republic of China, the Committee for Digital Transformation has been established. He noted that the Business Council is not a competitor in the work of government and business, but only a logical addition to the conscience of the interests of the business community within the framework of supranational legislation. "It is important today to change the idea of EAEU, that we must defend ourselves against Union’s initiatives, when the national business tries to protect itself from what is happening in the Union. We need to move on to make the most of the opportunities provided by the Union", - Viktor Khristenko said. He noted that an opinion was formed on the territory of the EAEU that Russia is inclined to expand on the territory of the Union. However, in his opinion, "the big one does not always mean the agile, not always sensitive enough to interests and opportunities and how to implement them". "According to statistics, those who are interested in realizing these opportunities, to a large extent, take a part of this market", - Viktor Khristenko said. In conclusion of his words, he once again noted the importance and uniqueness of NCE RK "Atameken" and wished further successes in this not simple but important case for Kazakhstan and the EAEU in protection and representation of business interests.
