The traditionally open and liberalised Armenian economy must adopt the higher tariffs and more protectionist policies of the other EEU members. This move will not only likely spark price increases, but will also mandate a serious renegotiation over Armenia’s membership in the World Trade Organization (WTO). On trade orientation, several years of an EU-dominated direction of trade will have to be adjusted and Armenia will have to prefer the markets of Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. And the paucity of economic benefits for Armenia from these moves is perhaps most revealingly demonstrated in the allocation of customs duties and tariff revenues among the member states. For Armenia, the asymmetry is obvious: it has been granted a meagre 1.13 percent of the EEU’s total customs revenue.
