The President cited the need to remove legislative barriers impeding development of trade relations and noted that this problem affects Russian producers too, including potential exporters of high-technology products.

The Customs Union’s Background information Customs Union between Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan development prospects were also discussed at the meeting.
