Abstract
From January 1, 2015, the Eurasian Economic Community, which existed since 2001, is being replaced by the Eurasian Economic Union, which currently includes the Russian Federation, the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Republic of Armenia and the Kyrgyz Republic.
When establishing an international organization for regional economic integration, the parties that signed the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union noted in the text of the agreement the desire to strengthen the economies of the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union and ensure their harmonious development and convergence, as well as guaranteeing sustainable growth in business activity, balanced trade and fair competition. Moreover, in part 1 of Article 1 of the Treaty it is noted that within the framework of the Union, the freedom of movement of goods, services, capital and labor, the conduct of a coordinated, agreed or unified policy in the sectors of the economy, is ensured.
In view of the foregoing, it seems very promising to study in depth the system of measures of criminal liability for one of the most serious infringements on competition anti-competitive agreements in these countries.
The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of the legislation of the EAEU member states in terms of the legislative regulation of the grounds for criminal liability for various agreements restricting competition.
