Translation of thousand-pa’s post (RUS)

I like the fact that the Customs Union will help industrial growth in Kyrgyzstan. It means the country is not being left on its own, but given a chance to profit (if they hustle, of course).

At least our neighbor’s textile sector won’t perish. Now, instead of endowing production made outside Bishkek with “Made in China” or “Made in Turkey” tags, they can confidently claim what’s theirs: “Made in Kyrgyzstan.” Because now, Kyrgyz goods have the green light, and the rest can bite it.

According to the deputy chair of the prime minister’s secretariat, Mukhtar Dzhumaliev, with Kazakhstan, Russia and Belarus entering the Customs Union, Kyrgyzstan’s ability to re-export becomes limited. However, as M. Dzhumaliev reassures the public, “we are only talking about good not produced within Kyrgyzstan’s borders. They must conform to the standards set by the customs union.”
