The Association of European Businesses represents and promotes the interests of European companies conducting business in and with the Russian Federation.
The AEB carries out activities to improve the Russian business and trade environment and to promote economic integration and partnership between the Russian Federation and the European Union.

Starting from February 14, 2010, the requirement to get a compulsory certification of a certain number of goods will be removed and replaced by the "conformity declarartion" procedure.
According to the Russian technical regulation legislation, until all relevant technical regulations enter into force, the Russian government has a right to annually issue/specify a list of goods in relation to which a compulsory certification applies and a list of goods in relation to which a conformity declaration applies. This year the conformity declaration list was increased and a number of new goods were included into it, such as meat/meat products, perfume & cosmetics, kitchenware and tableware etc. This is one in the framework of the government's policy on "investment climate improvement" and reduction of the administrative barriers.
AEB is pleased to present a handbook "Step by Step: Living in Russia".

The publication includes useful information about moving to Russia, doing business in Russia, arranging visas, taxation system in Russia, settling in Moscow, useful information on schools, language training, real estate, entertainments, etc. This book will be very useful to those planning to move to Moscow, as well as expatriates already based in Moscow.
The booklet was prepared by AEB member companies, operating in Moscow. They are sharing their expertise and knowledge of the Russian realities and discussing the opportunities available in Russia as of today.
