OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF ECONOMIC INTEGRATION Organizer: Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of the Republic of Kazakhstan, "Economic Research Institute" JSC On January 1, 2012 Common Economic Space of Belarus, Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation starts to operate. Within the CES there will be the implementation of coordinated macroeconomic policy, competition policy, government procurement, provision of industrial subsidies, government support for agriculture, as well as creating conditions for equal access to the infrastructure of the countries which participate in CES in the sphere of energetics and rail transport, oil and gas transportation. At the same time, we observe

16

certain stagnation and recoil in the most successful integration association – EU: barriers to labor movement are erected, national egoism of the EU countries is increased. Also there is a need to discuss responsibility of the separate countries for macroeconomic stability of the block in whole (for example: Greece, Ireland etc.) and measures directed to achieve this purpose. The study of the European integration experience, emerging problems and solutions can be the basis for determining the direction of further CES integration.

Key Issues:

Responsible economic policy of each country: EU experience Free labor movement: EU problems – experience for Kazakhstan and other

countries The efficiency of decisions made, their influence on economic stability of each

country; Opportunities and prospects of CU/SES development
