Serik Primbetov, deputy secretary-general of the Eurasian Economic Community (EEC), said in Almaty on January 30 that Uzbekistan has fallen behind schedule on joining agreements required by its membership in the group. Primbetov said, \"By January 1, 2007, for example, [Uzbekistan] was obliged to join 20 [agreements], but signed only 16.\" Primbetov called the four remaining agreements the \"most difficult ones,\" noting that one of them involves visa-free travel.
