Overall Summary: 
The Concept of Formation of the Common Gas Market of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) is aimed at ensuring the formation by the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union of a common gas market of the Union, which provides for mutual trade in gas between participants in the Union's common gas market; and transportation of gas owned by members of the Union's common gas market and intended for delivery to gas consumers in the Union's common gas market through gas transmission systems.
Energy Supply and Infrastructure
Regional integration priorities: 
The formation of a common gas market for the Union is an integral part of economic integration within the Union and is aimed at ensuring favorable conditions for the free movement of goods, services, technologies and capital between the member states. --- The main goals of the formation of a common gas market for the Union are: enhancing the energy security of the member states; improving the reliability, availability and quality of gas supply to gas consumers in the territories of the member states; increasing the economic efficiency of using gas transmission systems located in the territories of the member states. --- The formation of the common gas market of the Union is carried out in 3 stages through the implementation of the activities of the program for the formation of the common gas market of the Union provided for in Articles 83 and 104 of the Treaty.
Trade
Standard power production and purchasing agreements: 
Gas trade in the common gas market of the Union is carried out in the following forms: conclusion of direct contracts for the supply of gas between participants in the Union's common gas market; conducting exchange trading. When concluding direct contracts for the supply of gas between participants in the Union's common gas market, the parties to the contracts agree with the operators of gas transmission systems located in the territories of the Member States on the technical capabilities and conditions for gas transportation. Exchange trading in gas is carried out by the participants of the Union's common gas market at commodity exchanges of the Member States, and can also be carried out (in cases of creation) at the Union's interstate exchange. The necessity and conditions for the creation and functioning of the interstate exchange of the Union are determined by the member states.
Investment
Investment climate development: 
The member states create favorable conditions on their territory for the implementation of investment activities in the gas industry, including the implementation of joint projects.
Governance
Energy management principles: 
Regulation of the Union's common gas market is carried out in accordance with international treaties and acts constituting the Union's law and the legislation of the Member States and includes: regulation of the activities of subjects of natural monopolies; antitrust regulation; customs and tariff regulation; technical regulation; regulation of exchange trading in gas.
National policy structure: 
The member states ensure the unification of technical norms and standards related to the functioning of the gas industry, in accordance with Section X of the Treaty.
Technology
Technology collaboration with other member States: 
Monitoring of the functioning of the common gas market of the Union and information support of the common gas market of the Union are implemented within the framework of the integrated information system of the Union, created in accordance with paragraph 3 of the Protocol on Information and Communication Technologies and Information Interaction within the Eurasian Economic Union (Appendix No. 3 to the Treaty). The exchange of technological information between operators of gas transmission systems located in the territories of the Member States and operators of exchange trading is carried out to the extent necessary to ensure uninterrupted transportation and supply of gas in the common gas market of the Union. The member states are taking agreed measures to improve transparency and information disclosure by operators of gas transmission systems located in the territories of the member states.
