retail member you succeeded you'd done your job so. anything anything different you know nothing nothing so i am right nothing has changed jobs right now is it. changed and three are not expecting any changes in me due to run for a simple reason first resource terms which we have to negotiate at. varying. flexible. flexible impact 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 meant to know 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 about a year two years five years what's the period. i don't think we should compare russia or is. our economy that different is different because it is a rug it's been granting a different very. different comparative advantage of respect to lead over to impact our developments but not just. not in the sufficient as it had been china and many of the russian had regions the governor said there was call them in the state report they are not ready they look ready for the new. detail framework. could tell us. truthy for

a region or at least for the head of the region if he would fail to adapt to the new circumstances i don't think in those regions in fact faces troubles because of the accession for two reasons reason number one is during the last ten years we have. governors of almost sixty russian regions and most was agreed to adopt a special plan. in terms of plan on how to adjust to target circumstances. that is not right now we have new governors in many regions but those plans were implemented and nothing. substantially changed or is changing economic involved in the region second reason is very much also for most for federal regional level so we have already commitments russia those are commitments

reflected in the. federal reserve to do just ration so. in addition you recently said that after joining the w t o russia would become a major exporter of agricultural goods so. 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 how did you come it. will make a. lot happening to you is that it's not happening it's happening but it's not something which may happen overnight. norma's. you know in regards to sectors in order to use it to be have to secure a first. resort for consumption resumption exists in men.

markets but secondly that the realm of barriers to exports to trade. that will show will help us to achieve this goal but it's a good we have to walk was dogwoods remember is the so you know the to. achieve better market access terms as compared to the current situation and also agriculture is a seasonal business year so so it will take how many season two three seasons to start to start becoming a major major exporter of a group 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 other 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 used in order to cover domestic demand because all you will being then will gray you know when number one and way and when 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 can put a little grain you can put in or something at least some products in agriculture other such products that we can we can export. as 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 perth i have seen in australia. in the streets a piece in the street right now drinking russian beer we were there the baltic a brand there is there's a one. you might find russian ice cream in some of the european shops

for many years already so it's moving not. because should not expect that tomorrow shops will be. as russian products are probably covered. well this is traditionally a market that is speaking a 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 and you take some protecting measures so are you taking any measures now what are those measures that you are ready to take now we are monitoring those troops and we have to for certain growth unusual growth trade a few a few products because of products like paul or like some of those about it's not enough to make

a conclusion so it's only two months is. to. wait. for five months or so to. make a conclusion whether we should protect something or it's a question of normal trade we have to support the european parliament has recently criticized russia for not fully living up to the obligations of the w.t. 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 long animals from the e.u. this is why we call on russia to remove all and justify temporary bans temperature araf increases and protectionist measures and quote so do you. this criticism from

the europeans no. no for again for many reasons one of the. really able to justify. to explain and doing its part is that what you're doing is in line with the rituals of preciousness however again who is a judge that would show itself and conduct itself may serve as this measure is in compliance with the rules or not that's why. our activity currently is. that explanation part. of this issue of compliance with russia and of course in case they were closer does of the state compliant degree how to modernize it or to meld so we are 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. to the audience that we believe that our members 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. reserve protectionism region is allowed. and secondly we believe we use exact was also richer in compliance however i give you an example we are criticised for. mental feet. connected to result of cars but this exists all european countries so that's a question of feet but how. it's implemented it's

a difference he says that much of head of the department for trade negotiations of the russian ministry of spotlight we'll be back shortly after a break so stay with us. we speak your language. news programs and documentaries in spanish what matters to you breaking news a little tentative angles kid stories. you hear. the spanish find out more visit. sigrid laboratory was able to build

thanks. lisa. lisa lisa. play. live.

cut. her. skin. was on because it was going to explode into experience before syrians were going to go out. there for sure. so could be forced to shoot. the foolish. they all used to make you.

feel a chimp on the flight. welcome back to the spotlight i'm now going over and just to remind you that my guest on the show today is not 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 i have agreed that nothing but we're expecting change so. i must admit that before we started discussing the 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. remember i was amused import duties for

example it's a protectionist measure but you have to apply them in line with your commitments you may apply. other restrictions like want to frustrations for example you might impose quarters or you impose additional uterus in case of imports that is injuring you industry and other members of this country is used as a protection so in general during class ten years about three thousand measures were used by the woods remembers and russian record is very low in syria if used about six or seven on me 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 in and makes more sense to boost exports being a w. tail number than trying to protect their ports i absolutely agree but it's different things because you will protect your export oriented industries you

protect those interest rates are the rich are suffering from unfair competition. and those are industries richer. competition which may provide supply. products or services workers are not protected so the free ride on because otherwise there will be competitive markets. a little more put in is the one of the most. business oriented presidents so to speak as we had. 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 what is being done to try to pursue it russian russian exporters abroad can we do that. do we have new opportunity fundamental new opportunities of his accession because of what we did before we try to persuade our partners to remove the source

of myriads of oh now we have three rows of four spent years ago joe. mechanisms and other measures which should help our. trading partners to really like is a commitment it's. a reach we have just started well before starting this dialogue with you i've asked our reporters reload the media two two two two four zero report on the subject while russia has been a member for two months already even more 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 w.h.o. membership has the fact that its economy the report shows a growth in imports of some agricultural products vegetable up fifty percent dairy produce up by twenty three percent and who can buy sixteen the predictions that

agriculture would face some tough times after russia joined the w t o seem to be coming true although most and. think it's still early days to seriously speak of the fact of wor membership on the russian economy as the country has a seven year transitional period during which it will be able to greet us switch to the new rules not all protectionist measures were deleted at once as for reaction from neighbors the russian president barack sandoval question aside and told russia betrayed valerie's by nature in the world trade organization with the shimkus said he considers the w.t. all mainly a political body rush a space in the challenge of having to reconcile its doug lute your obligations with 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 customs rules because xtandi has begun its

w two york session talks for valorous to get him into the club is going to be a much harder thing to do. after saying that russia has betrayed by joining examples here i look at the present he said he wants is country . and he said that the e.u. the european union and the us i helped bring the assertion of those into the chair so what does russia do to solve this question is moscow ready to help belarus become a member of the w.t. oh absolutely you have for years experience of accession so universally have this experience that. is it's an awful as well so we have. problems with czechs even country may face a grander scale how to solve this problem so we are now in contact russian

colleagues and also. trading partners in order to resume their access rituals for different reasons so well because when you last three four years oh. does the w t o the rules and then the organization in general correspond to the customs union of russia bill russell kazakhstan do these two organizations have any and conflicts in it in policies and principles no no and i would sure explicitly loads to its members to create a customs union and what be the. colors of it exactly in line with the rules in order to secure implementation of russia's commitment because of it so be russia is a member of the words of i was a double sure probably the customs union would have concluded a special agreement or risk. visit with all three members plus customers should implement double to rules of the agreement is functioning rather

well i wasn't but should other members of the w t.l. i mean a worldwide treat russia belarus and kazakstan 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 no of course many countries a big interest in your and the world because it's new commercial opportunities in terms of trade policy is a little different because before or three customer union countries will be severed from member. may not ask for membership of the customs union itself like european union did. accession to davos or in ninety four about all the members here union members. which are members so we have first to

complete accession of both of course because the reason i'm asking is that is that after russia joins you remember that there there there were talks that will join all together then russia joined the lower. but many people say that when russia joined that there were russia being a member of this custom union means that practically a belly ruth in kazakhstan also joined together with russia is that true can we talk a can we talk that there that defacto they that they that they are becoming members . to a bigger extent because bound by serve rules well it's missing that. rises above which are you know how to get this right to exceed formery. house and so so this is where auxiliary 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 some way. and the other thing that i wanted to discuss who talked about it before and unfortunately we still talk about it i mean the the the jackson vatican remain after russia became a member it became completely relevant and i mean i mean how could it possibly exist at a moment like that towards a w t o member and i mean i think last time you said that the jackson american amendment makes more harm to the americans than to russians why do still exist and this is still true that it's that it's working against the american business or against the russians while still exist so it's it's internal business.

leaks is creating additional unnecessary problems for you. russian trade relations the trust fall for interest of u.s. companies in russia because currently double two agreement is not implemented between russia and united states between the two are no rights or no obligations towards each other so as soon as congress the real wart on this issue hopefully this will it will be a positive. change but no. 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 i hope 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 economy like trade with china for example or is repealed ok thank you thank you very much and just a reminder that my guest today was much in advance of head of the department of trade negotiations of the russian history of the canal mr ralph and that's it for now after all of us here if you want to have yourself light or have someone in mind
