Representatives of the carrier were briefed on veterinary and sanitary requirements in Kazakhstan and the Eurasian Economic Union. These include provisions of Customs Union Commission Decision No. 317 of June 18, 2010, On the Application of Veterinary and Sanitary Measures in the Eurasian Economic Union.

Since the beginning of the year, 294 violations have been recorded at veterinary checkpoints in the region. A total of 294 vehicles were turned back, and administrative measures were taken against 147 people.

The Ministry of Agriculture urged foreign trade participants and freight carriers to comply with veterinary and sanitary requirements.
