One third of the existing obstacles is to be eliminated within two years,” Mikhail Myasnikovich said.
As for the environmental agenda, a high-level group will be put together to deal with this matter. “It will work along the lines of the initiatives and proposals put forward by the heads of state,” the chairman of the EEC Board said.
