He said the parties have been aspiring to create equal conditions for economic subjects, elimination of exemptions, barriers and limits in mutual trade, technical regulations, sanitary and veterinary measures.
"Despite the efforts and some progresses, in general we hardly achieved this," he said.
"Important issues for full-fledged development are settled in a slow pace and often ineffectively. The work is frustrated by the position of our partners in the economic union.
