The document was finalized to include the proposals of Russia and Tajikistan. It will be submitted to the CIS Heads of State Council for further consideration.
The second document was the draft protocol on the introduction of amendments to the agreement on cooperation in the fight against automobile theft. The document was coordinated taking into account the proposals made by Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia and Tajikistan.
The agreement was signed by the CIS heads of government on 25 November 2005. Amendments are introduced every time the document needs to be adjusted to the modern conditions.
