Uzbekistan has ratified 31 out of 74 Eurasian Economic Community
(EurAsEC) agreements, EurAsEC Secretary General Grigory Rapota told
Interfax in Astana on Thursday.

"Uzbekistan has signed 31 EurAsEC accords, and there are still 43
documents to be ratified," he said.

The resolution of the EurAsEC Interstate Council dated 25 January
"affirmed Uzbekistan’s full-scale political membership in the
community," Rapota said.

"It may de facto become a fully-fledged member of the organization by
the end of the year, if all EurAsEC agreements are ratified," he said.

EurAsEC was established on 10 October 2000, and comprises Belarus,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan. Uzbekistan entered
the organization on 25 January 2006. Moldova, Ukraine and Armenia
hold observer status at the organization.
