The document sets out the appropriate conditions for full and effective functioning of free trade area in the CIS, said the chairperson of the permanent commission on international affairs and national security of the Council of the Republic Nina Mazai. The draft law will foster further integration towards the World Trade organization (WTO) regulations.
