king obstacles are down russia could join the war trade organization in a few months from now but there have been many forecasts like that in the past all wrong but russia's finance minister believes this one will come true let's find out why i say anything which there have been so many predictions of the kind why do you believe this one will come for. real work began in two thousand at that time i was head of a governmental commission to deal with w t o a session but hemming graph was the main driver the key stage was in two thousand and four when we signed an agreement with the e.u. it really seemed that we had covered more than half the ground then in two thousand and six we signed an agreement with the u.s. and it seemed to us that we had cover ninety percent of the way however every time something hindered entry in making political reasons did with them was good last

time it was georgia that dampened our relations with the u.s. we could not solve even a purely technical issue with the us now somewhere thanks to the green between obama. and they're fixing the deadline we have it doesn't result in our bilateral relations it appears to me they should this political will remain everything is possible in fact we lacked it which was the main factor we lacked in the last period of the bush administration and now all the work has been transferred to geneva where we are facing much fewer questions and what the so i believe there is a political will and a desire by all and was left ministries employees to complete everything does this mean most opticals are left behind and countries like georgia won't be a problem. because as you have said there are certain obstacles as yet which we are going to overcome gradually and when i was mentioning we would have to have about four months to finalize the document which i do not consider an obstacle has resulted from georgia nothing threatens but we have to coordinate all the

provisions of the customs union with all previously reached a green. on the derby cio with all the countries inside the customs union we have agreed on the principles that it can as of today we are taking our agreements with our partners the working group of the deputy o. as a basis and the a session will be based on a russia's terms so mainly technical questions remain so fun let's imagine russia joining the wall trying to open a station how is it going to change the russian economy. for the russian economy the level of terror shelter will be determined with the help of import taxes from all over the world for example we produce similar products but we protect ourselves from the same products of other countries with twenty percent tariffs over a transition period of between seven to ten years and we should lower our average tears to seven percent that means that tariff protection will become slightly lower and this is what orient our business to become more effective there are three spheres that should be gradually liberalized the flow of capital which russia has done with commodity flow under the deputy o.

and labor movement which allows a workforce to migrate to where the economy is on the rise of russia liberalizing these directions to be able to gather at the right time and place for all of these factors capital products new technologies and workforce to produce i said i need to say the russian government announced that the shares of ten major stake companies will be put on sale well those shares be available to foreign investors dot com your own news room which has to hit but certainly the privatization regime is public national scale except certain strategic enterprises but this list contains mainly oil companies apart from a number of others there were special procedures required at this point i can't tell you exactly what these restrictions will fly if what companies the list of companies is published will specify them with some who are sick and supremest from them and used it so if the sale happens how will a fact russia succession into the wall tail. strictly speak. these

privatization issues are not within the deputy who is competent so this may not affect the session as a whole though when a positive review taken of pressure is created as a country open for investment in increasing the private sector share of major companies and interests in russia's growing group let's just move away from the wall trade organization on b. international monetary fund meeting this year you receive the award as the best finance minister of the here and everyone is saying that russia coped with financial global financial crisis better than expected how attractive is washing terms of foreign investments at this moment. to the heads of major financial organizations who i met with in the past three days are very keen on russia because with interest rates very low in the last and earn something of an emerging market pressley where the ratio between profitability and reliability is optimal markets russia is showing exactly this work in the thanks of the government

strict credit policy we have good. which means we are not afraid of devaluation or to serve the country's budget bounces goodness so is the balance of payments in this respect we have very attractive. there are a lot of discussions here in the west about about the level of government interference in the russian economy and that is sort of one of the concerns that the west has towards question economy what is being done to reduce that that involvement of the government in the economy. first of all on the interference of the state in the economy. and we must see where and how it takes place first major tears state involvement three major companies and corporations but as paper zation is underway selling major stakes will solve this issue which will soften fears is second with its about state run regulating agencies including those that collect taxes if you like. the quality of production and norms of state regulation needs.

to be in truth we need this and all of us are working on that and i will go a new draft on the lease is meant to improve their words because our quote of concerning taxes we have created a new package of law on the quality of tax administration for the responsibility of tax victory employees problem. earlier you said that the tax burden on russian business will be increased in the near future but the pressure on russian business is already high why was this decision made. this decision is linked to the increase of pensions in our country for a very long time pensions were too low in late two thousand and nine an average pension was an equivalent of two hundred us dollars a month that's too low and it does not correspond to wages the average salary being about seven hundred u.s. dollars for several years we prepared an increase in pensions however it so happened that when we were increasing then the crisis occurred and revenues got smaller after weighing all the pros and cons to the government decided to continue

with the pensions hike they were mean increases of forty to forty five percent so i'm sorry on the first of january the company payments will increase from twenty six to thirty four percent of the salary this will be since the difference all companies at the pushing of the main problem of russian economy today in your opinion. it's about the weakness of market and state power institutions and the quality of the ministering of state functions in other words excessive interference from the state insufficiently clear regulation. ministries barriers of competition the economy it's going official helps when the competition this is the main obstacle for further development because the network and the state finances are a good. business now i know that finance later on this international monetary fund meeting we're discussing so-called battles of crisis if we can say that you know we know that the u.s.

and. they complain about china and some other. the labor of their crisis to aid their exporters and this may lead to trade wars i haven't heard that how serious is that and where is russia standing on that matter. there's no battle of the currencies it's very likely that it's more of an expectation that one day currencies will become a more serious competition seward at the moment your best examples are the u.s. and china the situation there is unique but i don't think we can say that such a war is taking place in other parts of the world on the other hand you might say that some of the disproportionate distortions are forming in currencies for example some moves of the americas. most likely their fears that someday become more serious but i can say that the possibilities to play around with currencies are very insignificant or short term china is the exception country that goes beyond.

its conducting an aggressive policy due to strong government control its economy and foreign policies nor market economies don't have such opportunities for stronger ministers of course. which. i say i need a bit also on this year's i.m.f. meeting we know that the you in the united states have the loudest voice within the organization we also know that emerging markets would have would like to have a bigger say on the i.m.f. board any success on that. historically the bretton woods institutions that is the i.m.f. and the world bank of obviously been under the influence of the usa and the e.u. . as the new growing markets are in fact a locomotive of the economic growth and of much money the rule is in significant decision making on the world market during a crisis it is crucial to have all the decisions well balanced which means representation should be fortunate and today it is not proportionate so there are fears that the decisions to be adopted will be based on

a fair and. course it representation not in the interest of the whole of the world economy so the question of changing the quotas is right although it would be so undesirable to lose one's vote and influence when it comes to deciding if we have not yet found a final solution has been shown when the stricken ship going to. discover its music legend. lose. with the wild. and become free. nature to keep you.

of the only serious rival but when he went down with a broken collarbone at last week's japanese grand prix the path was clear for a fellow spaniard lorenzo to race to victory something he would do with a top ten finish a situation which was never really in doubt so moto g.p. title number one for relief for here the reins are. when the years in the field if you do we we've got to finish the race and. how right you can get in with your world so who is my happiest day in my life and we have to because there are no more unbeaten teams this year in the n.f.l. at kansas city they live a squad to taste defeat against indianapolis the chiefs holding two time reigning m.v.p. peyton manning without a touchdown but an unlikely hero save the day for the colts even sikorsky has more

. the chiefs have been the n.f.l. surprise package so far this year the up and coming squad grabbing three straight wins after having only four victories all of last year and they look to seize the momentum right from the off but a lack of exit q sion ruined a surprise onside kick the chiefs defense playing better than expected against last year's super bowl runners up joseph addai unable to get the needed yards on fourth down with time running out in the opening half the colts getting just a pair of field goals out of their drives for six to three halftime lead more goals from manning in the second half safety john look in the right spot at the right time to come up with the interception indianapolis forced to rely on veteran kicker adam vinatieri for their points the four time super bowl champion giving the colts a twelve nine lead late in the fourth with another in the war course addai hurty on
