According to this law, the main objectives of trade policy were to integrate Kazakhstan into the world trading system while protecting domestic producers. Among the CIS arrangements the most active involved the Union of Five (Belarus, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Russian Federation and Tajikistan), which in October 2000 became the Eurasian Economic Community (EurAsEC). Kazakhstan also joined the Economic Cooperation Organisation in 1992, and signed several proposals on Central Asian trade organisations, although none had a significant impact on trade policy. In July 2010, a common customs code, customs rules and common external tariff came into effect.
