Kremlin explains differences between BRICS and EU

Members of the BRICS group are not bound by mutual obligations as is the case with the EU but instead share common goals and interests, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said 

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit in Kazan on Tuesday, he explained that the group still “does not have the necessary attributes to be considered an organization,” such as a charter or clearly defined rules.
