He called "unprecedented" the decision of the Common Economic Space member countries (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan) to give up double taxation from January 1, 2005.
"This opened all ways for acceleration of mutual integration," said Mr. Yanukovich.
He stressed that he is an active supporter of Ukraine actively participating in the CES.
"Uniting the scientific and industrial complexes, we create a perspective for innovation development of our states," Mr. Yanukovich said while commenting, in particular, on the plans of creating by CES countries of a unified rocket and space corporation.
He said Russia and Ukraine consider the possibility of building a bridge or tunnel across the Strait of Kerch.
"This will create a new transport corridor of primary importance for both Russia and Ukraine," said Mr. Yanukovich.
In his words, the two variants are being worked out in parallel. Experts will make the final conclusion.
