flexible. very similar in fact in respect of economy in terms of tariff protection so our tariffs lowering was in a long period of time seventy years year by year and the economy consumers are really not feeling the difference same in respect of other commitments which are amending now so we may expect effects from accession but not as you see and problem attacks are ok many experts and politicians they compare russia to china remember this session of china it's a w t o in two thousand and one do you think a similar economic miracle economic breakthrough can happen can be expected in russia in a year two years five years what's the period in which i don't agree you should compare russia china our economy the political different is different because

it is a rug it's being grounded in a different way. we have different compared to a dreadful just respect to lead the world to impact our developments but not just. not in the same fashion as. china and many of the russian had regions the governor said they would call them in the state report they are not ready they are not ready for the new. framework may be a catastrophe for a region or at least for the head of the region if you would fail to adapt to the new circumstances i don't think in those regions in fact phases travels because of the accession for two reasons reason number one is during the last ten years we have. governess of

almost a sixth arrest regions and most was agreed to adopt a special plan. in turn and plan on how to adjust to target circumstances. that it's not right now we have new governors in many regions but his plans were implemented and nothing. substantially changed or is changing because the economic involved in the region second reason is very it's also for most for federal region level so we have already commitments russia's border commitments are reflected in the. federal reserve will do just ration so. in addition you recently said that after joining the w t o russia would become a major exporter of group cultural goods so but now. so far the prices are rising the imports are rising but not the export of russian

cultural goods people are scared of that so so how would you comment just to. make. and sell is not happening here is that it's not happening it's happening but it's not something which may happen overnight. norma's potential in our culture sector. in order to use it to be have to secure two sinks first so. that foreign consumption resumption exists in many markets about secondly that there are no barriers to expose to trade. that will show will help us to achieve this goal but it's a good we have to work with remember through with the you know the to. achieve better market access terms as compared with the current situation and also . agriculture is

a seasonal business yes and so it will take how many season two three seasons to start to start becoming a major major exporter of goods well it depends of the product we think number one on number two in grain. developing better. but export terms. in respect to a few hours products but not of all differently in meat sector for example. except of probably chicken where we have some extra profit we still have a big domestic consumption and of course you capacities will be use in order to cover domestic demand because all you will being then will grain oh well when number one and way and we're number one again as a loyal yes but i always dreamt as a journalist. of russia. exploiting something what you call we can put it in

writing made in russia you could put it all grain you can put something at least some products in agriculture other such products that we can we can export. as there are many give you a couple of examples in australia. you may find russian being made in russia they say you can find is in england but a bit of but i never really saw it in poems i have seen in australia in. in the streets of people the street right drinking russian beer we were there the baltic a brand there is there's a one you you my friends russian ice cream in some of the european shops for many years already so it's moving not. because so not expect tomorrow. will be. his russian products. this is traditionally a market that. speaking of spot like you've been in the studio before you said your

ministry monitors the imports of certain goods and if the rates go sky high you will take some protecting measures so are you taking any measures now one of those measures that you are ready to take we are monitoring those troops and we have to for certain growth unusual growth trade a few a few products because of products like poor or like orals about it's not enough to make a conclusion so it's only two masses into the. grid have to. wait. for five months or so to. make a conclusion whether we should protect something or it's a question of no one traitor we have to support the european parliament has recently criticized russia for not fully living up to the obligations of the w t o

here's a quote all men do it and they member of the euro parliament said i quote at the moment we are concerned about the introduction of text or extension of a number of potentially trade restrictive measures like the new had just ration on recycling fees for imported cars or the ban on emperors of land animals from the e.u. this is why we call on russia to remove all and justify temporary bans temperature of increases and protectionist measures and quote so do you accept this criticism from the europeans no. no for again for many reasons one of the is really able to justify. able to explain and doing its part is that what you're doing is in line with both those rules of practices however. again who is the judge judges that would

show itself to itself may save as this measure is in compliance rules or not that's why. our activity plea is. explanation part. of this issue of compliance with russia and of course in case they were pursued doesn't the store comply and prevail degree how to modernize it or to move it so we're open for duck but why do these protectionist measures exist well why did they come into existence in the first place if they break the deadly toll rules why do people why do people even even discuss those measures now again. may start a discussion explaining. it was odious that we believe that our motives are in line

with the rules but it's very complicated subject so there is protectionist and protectionism that they maybe do is that true first of all as reserve protectionism region is allowed but. and secondly belief we use exact was also made as machine compliance however i mean i will give you an example we are criticised for. mental feet. connected to visit because of cars but this exists all european countries so that's a question of i feel about how it's implemented probably it's a difference he says that much seems to be that of head of the department for trade negotiations of the russian ministry of economic development spotlight we'll be back shortly after a break so stay with us. i

mean so the know your city in europe and the hosts of the twenty fourteen which are the picket. sign see. thank you. so much. thank you. a. dog days are. the pride days it. makes common. to see it's so true.

to me speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world's hot spots seventy ip interviews intriguing story. in trying. to find out more visit our big teeth don't call.

more news today. these are the images world world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to operations or rule the day.

you know. welcome back to the spotlight i'll get over and just to remind you that my guest on the show today is mark seen in advance who is the head of the department for trade negotiations of the russian ministry of economic development we're talking about russia russia has become a full fledged member so what has changed well so far away and have agreed that nothing but we're expecting change so i'm assuming that can we started discussing these so-called protectionist measures you said that there is protectionism and protections so what are the can is all of protectionism that are allowed within

the w t o remain knows i'm you may apply import duties for example it's a protectionist measure but you have to plug them in line with your commitments or you may deploy. restrictions like want to frustrations for example your brain close quarters or you impose additional duties in case of imports. it is injuring you in the street and other members of this country she is used as a protection so in general during class tell us about three thousand members were used by the woods remembers and russian records is really low since we have used about six or seven only well i know that it's not your department other departments that are concerned with my next question but still don't you think that it's more profitable than and makes more sense to boost exports being

a w term member than trying to protect their ports i absolutely agree but it's different things because you will protect your export oriented industries you protect was also illustrates a regional suffer from unfair competition. those mysteries which are. competitive and which may provide supply. products or services workers are not protected so free environment because otherwise they will be competitive markets. a lot of reporting is the one of the most business oriented presidents service because we had all we had to last decades and he often says especially when going abroad he often says that the russian exporters suffer from this unfair competition that you just mentioned what is being done to try to protect russian russian exporters. has brought can we do that re do we have new opportunity

fundamental new opportunities of his accession because of what we did before we tried to persuade our partners to remove this as a myriad of oh no we have zero interest of four spent years ago or so where decent tuckman mechanisms and other measures which should help us to pursue our trading partners to be in line with the commitments of its. reach we have just started well before starting this dialogue with you i've asked our reporters reno the media to two two two four zero report on the subject while russia has been that way to remember for two months already even worse so let's take a look at some of the early results and reactions and this report by our correspondent. the eurasian economic commission has come up with an analysis of how russia's double membership as a fact that it's a corner may their report shows

a growth in imports of some agricultural product vegetable oil up fifty percent dairy producers up by twenty three percent and by sixteen the predictions that agriculture would face some tough times after russia joined the w t o seem to be coming true although most analysts think it's still early days to seriously speak of the fact of double your membership on the russian economy as the country has a seven year transitional period during which it will be able to greet you is switched to the new rules not all protectionist measures were billeted at once as for reaction from neighbors the russian president the regs underlip question aside and so were russia betrayed bellerose by nature in the world trade organization because schenker said he considers the w.t. all mainly a political body russia is facing the challenge of having to reconcile its doug lute you are gay sions of those it has as a member of the customs union with belarus and kazakhstan nizer which is

a double it your member but both enjoy a free trade area with russia and common costumes rules as extern has begun its double duty or accession talks for valorous getting into the club is going to be a much harder thing to do. after saying that russia has betrayed by journey of example here at the present he said he wants is country. and he said the e.u. the european union and the us i helped bring the assertion of those into the so what does russia do to solve this question is moscow ready to help belarus become a member of the w.t. oh absolutely we have for years experience of accession. so you know as we have this experience. well that's about as it's enough as well so we have.

problems with checks in country may face a vendor said how to solve this problem so we are now in permanent contact series of russian colleagues and also. trading partners in order to resume their accession rituals for different reasons so well because a new last three four years does the w t o the rules and then the organization in general correspond to the customs union of russia bill result as i stand do these two organizations have any and work conflicts in it in policies and principles no no i would sure explicitly allowed. to its members to create customs union and what be the. colors of it it exactly in line with the rules in order to secure implementation of russia's commitment because of it so russia is a member of the was a double sure problem the customs union we have come to that especially agreement to risk. visit with all three members plus customers

should implement the water rules of the agreement is functioning rather well i wasn't but should other members of the double e.t.l. i mean a worldwide treat russia belarus and because it stands as being a single joint economic space should they take that into account or were they shouldn't i mean i mean is there is there or they shouldn't care i mean they they know that these are three three different countries not of course as many countries are big interest in a whole course of your and the roles because it's too commercial opportunities in terms of trade policy is a little different because before or three customs union countries will be severed from member really no. not ask for membership of the customs union itself like european union did. accession to davos or in ninety four

about. members of a union members. which remember so we have first to complete access numbers of course because the reason i'm asking is that is that after russia joined you remember there were talks that will join all together then russia joined alone but many people say that when russia joined that there were each year russia being a member of this custom union means that practically beller ruth in kazakhstan also joined together with russia is that true can we talk a can we talk that there that defacto the they are becoming members. to a bigger extent because bow by rules well it's missing the. rights of the will tell you who to get this right to accede formally. houses so so this is or are very workers shank with protesting he doesn't want to have obligations and not having the rights yes but i think russia's accession rules

have to. be russian colleagues to make the excesses easier because we have negotiated all major difficult elements connected with functional rest of the union and this will be of. partners so russia is like a locomotive dragging the two countries into the organization somewhere. in the other thing that i wanted to discuss who talked about of the four and unfortunately we still talk about it i mean the the the jacks the vatican remain after russia became a member it became completely irrelevant and i mean i mean how could it possibly exist at a moment like that towards a duck. remember and i mean i think last time you said that the jackson american amendment makes more harm to the americans than to russians why does still exist

and this is still true that it's that it's working against the american business or against the russians while still is i don't know so it's it's internal business. leaks is creating additional unnecessary problems for us russian trade relations the trust for for interest of u.s. companies in russia because currently doubletalk agreement is not implemented between russia and the united states between no rights on obligations towards each other so as soon as u.s. congress a real wart on this issue hopefully this will it will be a positive situation changed but you know we'll do you think it's an economic issue or it is it is more a political issue keeping the cement my view is it's only permit only political economic reasons to people so does that mean that that the outcome of the elections

in the united states may influence the lifting of the summit or lower would you expect that. i would expect that at some stage. our common sense will prevail but. foreign policy has never been a major issue in american presidential elections economic issues are a more sensitive issue this is an economic issue why why doesn't any of the candidates try to use this in his in the in his election election debate what would you think this may have been a good point probably is not so big for us because our trade is not very much relevant for us but it's relevant for some companies might i thought for the. our economy by treaty is china for example repudiating gnocchi thank you thank you very much and just a reminder that my guest today was mark seymour the head of the department of trade

negotiations on the russian ministry i'll begin on mr ralph and that's it for now for all of us here if you want to have yourself or have someone in mind do you think i shouldn't be next time to drop me a line at the t.v. dot are you and let's keep spotlights into wraps and we'll be back with more first on comments on what's going on in and outside russia until then if they are seen to take aim. just give me can i speak we'll see. let me explain my son died in iraq i don't agree you don't agree we don't have to look for other names my son isn't isn't in the marine i don't know what is capt we are going to find it for you fair. sure and
