On the concept of illegal circulation of industrial products in the Eurasian Economic Union

Abstract

A general description is given of the global illegal turnover of industrial products and its negative impact on the global economy, including the economy of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) member states (more than 17 million units of counterfeit goods in 2018). Based on the analysis of the Treaty on the EAEU and other EAEU acts adopted in accordance with it, civil and other legislation of the EAEU Member States, the concepts of industry, industrial products (industrial goods), circulation of goods (products) are studied "," Illegal trade in industrial products. " The conclusion is made that the existing regulatory framework of the EAEU is insufficient for the effective resolution of problems and coordinated counteraction of the Union member states to illegal trade in industrial products and, above all, its socially dangerous forms. Definitions of the concepts of illegal circulation of industrial goods (industrial products) and substandard industrial products are formulated to fix them as terms in an additional special protocol to the Treaty on the EAEU. The legalization of the definition of the concept of illegal trafficking in industrial products at the level of the EAEU Treaty is an important prerequisite for the formation and implementation of the agreed criminal policy of the EAEU member states in the field of countering such trafficking
