ArmInfo. In February, the  EAEU adopted a procedure for interaction between the authorized  bodies of the Union member states in the field of pension provision.   Altynai Omurbekova, Director of the Department of Labor Migration and  Social Protection of the EEC, announced this during the video bridge  Moscow-Minsk-Yerevan-Nursultan-Bishkek on February 22. 

<Interaction between the authorized competent authorities will be  conducted electronically. And the very procedure for assigning and  calculating the size of the pension is carried out in accordance with  the legislation of the country for whose pension the worker claims>,  she said.

According to the head of the Department, the export of pensions will  be carried out through an international financial organization. In  particular, she noted that today 2 banks are being considered - the  Interstate Bank and the Eurasian Development Bank. "Each country  independently chooses the Bank through which the export of pensions  will be carried out," Omurbekova stressed.

It should be noted that according to the situation at the end of  2021, according to the data of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of  the Russian Federation in Russia, the total number of labor migrants  from Armenia exceeded 300 thousand citizens.

In January 2021, the Agreement on Pension Provision for Workers of  the EAEU Countries was developed by the Eurasian Economic Commission  together with the states of the Eurasian Economic Union. Its main  goal is the formation, preservation and implementation of the pension  rights of workers on the same terms as citizens of the state of  employment.
