CIS
Main article: Common Economic Space of the Commonwealth of Independent StatesAfter the conclusion of the Agreement on free trade in services, the Information and Analytical Department of the CIS Executive Committee notes in October 2023 that at the moment a kind of pyramid of integration entities has developed in the CIS countries, differing in the depth of economic integration (multi-speed integration), and the implementation of free trade agreements and a number of other documents will lead to the formation of a full-fledged common economic space within the Commonwealth. Within its participant countries, state borders will cease to be an obstacle to the free movement of goods, services, labor and capital.
EAEU
Main article: Single Economic Space of the Eurasian Economic UnionThe Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) provides for free movement of goods, services, capital and labor. Fixed in the Treaty on the EAEU the principle of «four freedoms» as a fundamental principle of the functioning of the internal market enshrined the refusal to apply protective measures of the domestic market in mutual trade. In discussion and operations, the concept of "four freedoms" is widely used to describe the point of the documents.

EU
Main article: European single marketEstablished in 1993, the EU single market is one of the greatest achievements of the European Union. It guarantees that goods, services, people and capital can move freely throughout the territory of the EU: the ‘four freedoms’. In the context of European integration, these four freedoms are considered to be inseparable and inviolable. Countries hoping to share in the free movement of goods, services and capital must accept the free movement of labour as well.
