The EEC approved the Memorandum of Cooperation between the Commission and the VDMA Agricultural Machinery
The Board of Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) approved the Memorandum of Cooperation with the VDMA Agricultural Machinery Association on September 6, 2016. The document was prepared by the Industrial Policy Department of the EEC.
The adoption of the Memorandum will facilitate the further harmonisation of international and national standards of the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union with international standards in the field of agricultural engineering.
In order to achieve this, it is planned that regulatory and technical documentation will be exchanged, joint meetings, consultations, and scientific research seminars will be held, and best practices in terms of setting agricultural requirements will also be exchanged.
This cooperation will help to eliminate barriers in the industrial, scientific and technical spheres between the agricultural machinery manufacturers of the Eurasian Economic Union and third countries, will foster the development of agricultural engineering in the Union Member States and the localisation of assembly plants that are established in the Union by foreign agricultural machinery manufacturers.
