The Russia’s envoy to the EU Vladimir Chizhov declared that the European Union has finally come around to the idea of working together with the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), Sputnik News reports.
"The long-term goal of establishing a free-trade area between those two bodies of integration [EU and EEU] should remain on the table. For a start, it would be expedient to set up initial working contacts between the European Union and the Eurasian Economic Commission. It is welcoming that many within the EU are finally coming around to this idea," Chizhov said at the European Forum Alpbach in Austria.
