- 610 questions were examined (100%);
- According to expertise of project prepared by EEC acts results,

cases).
Most of the findings of the total produced in the following areas of

- technical regulations, sanitary and phytosanitary and veterinary
measures (57.28%), 59 out of 162 - the proportion of "covering" 36.42%;

The draft TR CU originally intended to introduce the concept of "milk beverage",
which actually means to drinking milk made ​from reconstituted milk powder or
using it.
With this approach, reduced milk could only be the raw material for the production
of dairy products.
Kazakhstani milk producers have expressed concern that the term "milk beverage"
may cause a drop in demand for drinking milk produced by them with the use of dry
milk.
Was noted that the need for adding milk powder caused by insufficient
development of dairy cattle caused by climatic factors and seasonal variations in
the volume of milk production.
In turn, DRPD attention was drawn to the redundancy of the requirement for
labeling with the term "Milk beverages".
To prevent consumer confusion about the composition of dairy products and its
differences from whole milk drinking enough on her application package marking
"Milk restored."
As amended TR CU approved by the Council of ECE, milk made ​from powdered
milk, provided the term "reconstituted milk."
In the presence of mandatory labeling "Milk restored", applied the same type, this
product can be produced in free circulation in the market CU and CES.
The necessity for the accepting by Commission order of conducting of Unified list
permitted by applicable CU Agreement on common principles and rules of technical
regulation in 2010.
However, until now given order has not been approved
During the preparation of the relevant section of the draft Treaty on the
EAEC the need for the Unified list was not foreseen by the Commission .
National Chamber of entrepreneurs has come up with a proposal to
include the rate of acceptance of the order on the unified list in the draft
Treaty on the EAEC
DRPD has repeatedly acted not only for the primary need for the formation and
maintenance of the Unified list, but also for the subsequent optimization of the
Single List
Project EAEC Treaty aimed Parties for internal procedures, provided that the
formation and maintenance of the Unified list approved by the Commission
The draft order is now being developed independently DRPD own initiative and
planned public discussion with the involvement of the business community.
