On December 18-19, 2014, the Final Gaidar Readings-2014 dedicated to the treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union which becomes effective from January1, 2015 were held.
The sponsors of the Readings were the Gaidar Institute for Economic Policy, the RANEPA, the Yegor Gaidar Fund and the European Organization of Public Law.
