MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The Eurasian Economic Union is a bloc created to
streamline the flow of goods, capital and labor between its member nations,
namely Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. The union came
into being on January 1, 2015.

In January 2016, Iranian Ambassador to Russia Mehdi Sanaei said Iran was
interested in introducing a free trade zone with the EEU.

"We are really interested in removing all obstacles with the Russian
Federation. We made progress on the visa issue in 2008… and [as for] the
customs barriers, I am confident that we will be able to remove them in the
coming months," Goldman-Shayman said responding to a question on progress in
bilateral Israeli-EEU affairs.
