The present study is aimed at considering the issues of competence of the Eurasian Economic Union, defined by international treaties within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union, on combating corruption in the preparation of acts of the bodies of the Eurasian Economic Union.Aim. To determine the competence of the bodies of the Eurasian Economic Union in the field of anticorruption in the development of acts of the bodies of the Eurasian Economic Union.Tasks. To identify the limits and scope of the competence of the Eurasian Economic Union, established by the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union of May 29, 2014, in the field of anti-corruption in the development of acts of the bodies of the Eurasian Economic Union, to determine the grounds for anticorruption expertise provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation, to determine the degree of effectiveness of the Eurasian integration in the field of anti-corruption.Methods. In this paper, using the methods of logical, comparative and predictive analysis, the factors contributing to the implementation of effective policies of the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union aimed at improving the mechanism for the development of acts of the bodies of the Eurasian Economic Union in the field of combating corruption are identified.Results. The study showed that the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union of May 29, 2014 does not provide for the authority of the Eurasian Economic Commission to conduct anti-corruption expertise in the preparation of acts of the bodies of the Eurasian Economic Union. At the same time, the Eurasian Economic Union has powerful legal and organizational tools that allow it to adopt regulatory legal acts that are sufficiently deeply prepared, analyzed and have passed legal procedures. The Eurasian anti-corruption platform proposed for formation will allow applying international experience, and, in addition, protecting the national interests of the Eurasian countries, taking into account the peculiarities of national legal systems.Conclusion. It is advisable to consider the development and adoption of a unified anti-corruption strategy of the Eurasian Economic Union, which would be based on the participation of the EAEU member states and take into account national interests and the specifics of the legal systems of the participating states, including the specifics of legislative regulation in the anti-corruption sphere.
