The members of the Council noted the need to apply a unified conceptual approach in developing mechanisms to ensure a transparent competitive environment in the domestic and foreign markets, to strengthen mutual trade with partner countries.

Following the meeting, the Secretariat of the Council was instructed to form a working group whose task will be to develop proposals for the introduction of a fundamentally new system of foreign trade regulation, which provides for the use of more flexible mechanisms for making operational decisions in the field of foreign economic activity.
