moscow this is r t with you twenty four hours a day good to have you with us this so russia has been finally granted accession to the world trade organization after almost twenty years of negotiations the commission in geneva has finalized overall terms for the long awaited membership which will happen in december ortiz or smith spinners. there's a document in circulation which is the all the terms and conditions it weighs three and a half kilos and it amounts to some seven hundred pages now i haven't had time to read the whole thing and i doubt that i'm in the minority there but i can only imagine that it's full chockablock of painstakingly negotiated compromises which have taken place over that all that amount of time but in fact what the significance is is a question that the chief russian negotiator maksim says that he has been asked repeatedly over the last eighteen years what just what is the point of this and he pointed out during a media conference that took place after the gathering of the documents as they

2:03 pm
it's fair for everybody he said he's also negotiated a reasonable period for making adjustments to tariffs in three and four years they will have to bring their tariffs in line with the rest of the world trade organization and the organization itself says that now one hundred fifty million russian consumers will be. i have access to cheaper prices for a whole range of goods but of course there are also disadvantages in this and my colleague catarina gretsch over has taken a look for us at the pros and cons of membership for russia of the world's largest trading organization let's take a look at the report for the person on the street w t o membership will not be just something we'll read about in the news but it will mean lower prices removing trade barriers between states increases competition prices of in florida goods drop and domestic companies also grow quicker with foreign markets opening up. for workers

2:06 pm
measures will apply for a number of sensitive industries which employ millions of people such as every culture timber and car making but at a certain point the states industrial dependence will have to let go of its hand and walk on their own two feet in the world outside it but that should also be a somewhat easier place to do business in the reduction of customs tariffs and trade barriers to a more level playing field across international markets exceeding the gretsch over r t. and the director general of the world trade organization told me a little earlier it's very significant that russia's join the club at the time the global economy is experiencing such difficulties well the economy is not in good shape but one of the ways to exit. these situations which i recognize a when we discuss the the last week in the g twenty in he's not good one of the

interplanetary mission in fifteen years back on track they've been trying to reestablish connection with the probe which was north pole when the state was you to head to the biggest martian moon for boss but technical problems mean it has become stuck in orbit. as the details. at the moment the theories around which probably what problems caused the probe to be stuck in orbit around the earth after its takeoff split into two camps whether it's a problem with the software of the probe or a problem with the hardware of the probe now it's a problem with the software that's something that potentially can be fixed now one theory that's been put forward is that it's a problem with the navigation system of the probe these type of probes when they're launched initially use the sun as their main focus point for navigation and then that navigation system switches over towards the stars now they some people believe that this probe has failed in switching from the sun to the stars and if they can

muscles and oysters so we approached a company and arranged so million roubles for a start up it's a risky business with a storm capable of grueling a year's work but without any major setbacks they can harvest twenty tons of mussels a year the problem then is trying to sell them. even on the black sea coast this is not ordinary food only the last two decades of russian started travelling abroad and seeing foreign menus so they started asking for more mussels mussels in oysters are currently very popular in russia in fact the efforts of these guys are unique here but they're hoping to grow markets for the underwater bounty but not the only ones hoping for a place on russian dinner tables. but this vinnie arden tourist center inland yanis and his family have been farming for decades he's of greek descent and helped his father establish the farm recently he decided to try and make wine here curious
2:21 pm
that if we need three years to establish the vine then five years for a good product in a few years i hope we can produce great russian wine the climate and weather a good for great britain here but yes is hesitant to try and make this into a proper business it's corruption that's putting him off yes my through i look at a list like an artist painting a picture if i wanted a serious business i'd be too scared of corrupt officials taking it from me but with a creative approach i'm not scared the people in authority are the ones who should be kept from power they do not respect our citizens. janish complains that a license to sell his wine costs one and a half million dollars far too much for a small producer like himself this also prevents a good wine industry from developing here but he still loves the region and hasn't given up hope of making it productive or birth yes there are some good great growing areas in russia this is a favorable area so if the authorities don't interfere we can promote our brand

2:25 pm
and an improved investment climate so says the chief economist from deutsche bank yourself a civil. in terms of transition period still longer these transition periods the better. the length of the transition period will be as long as seventeen years so this should provide enough time for russian producers to prepare for the inevitable which is going to be a significant increase in competition from abroad that in turn is going to be a major agent of change and russia's corporate sector and the threat of competition is likely to force russian producers to improve corporate governance to forge ahead with efficiency improvements. but some look at the markets oil is high on speculation that europe's economy may weather the two region's debt crisis grant is now trading at one hundred thirteen dollars per barrel while the light sweet is that. is it ninety seven dollars per barrel this hour as you can see from the
