Sergey Sidorsky: "The interaction of the EEC and VDMA stimulates the production of agricultural machinery in the EAEU that meets the most modern world requirements"

Enterprises of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and foreign manufacturers of agricultural machinery – members of the German Engineering Union (VDMA) will begin to manufacture analogs of imported components in the EAEU.
Joint projects for organizing such work were discussed by a member of the Board (Minister) for Industry and Agro-industrial Complex of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC ) Sergei Sidorskiy and Dirk Stratmann, General Director of John Deere International, a VDMA member. “Taking into
account VDMA’s proposals, we have identified components that the Association’s enterprises are interested in localizing. In particular, 39 projects for the production of elements that are part of imported components for agricultural machinery have been formed. These include engines and components for them, transmissions, as well as hydraulic elements “, – stressed Sergei Sidorsky. Also
, the EEC Minister noted the importance of interaction between the Commission and VDMA, suggesting” on an ongoing basis to monitor problematic issues that can limit the development of localized agricultural machinery production in countries of the EAEU
. “Assistant Minister of the EEC Vladimir Maltsev spoke about the measures taken by the Commission to establish cooperative cooperation and use the potential of integration in the field of agricultural machine
ry.” German companies were offered 24 specific sites for localizing their products in the Union countries. An agreement was reached on the visit of VDMA member companies to these enterprises in July-August of this year for a detailed study of their capabilities and making a decision on organizing the production of these components on their basis, “Vladimir Maltsev summe
d up. During the meeting, EEC representatives gave explanations on the use of EAEU countries of the technical regulation “On the safety of agricultural and forestry tractors and trailers for them” regarding the installation of tractor engines on agricultural machinery that meet the necessary environmental requirements.
