host: the wto just released a report. they are reporting that over the past three months, the recorded 83 trade restriction measures taken by 24 countries in the european union. the paper says the report is likely to be seized on by proponents of the doha round to restart negotiations on a broad treaty that would do away with many of these exceptions. guest: i think one of the lessons of the great depression is that countries and the worldwide economic system need to be very sensitive to the dangers of excessive protectionism. if every country puts up barriers, we end up turning an economic crisis into a very prolonged depression. to the maximum degree possible, people need to resist that. in terms of going forward, the key is to position ourselves so that we can compete effectively. host: our next telephone call comes from flint, michigan. caller: i have been a lifelong resident of the flint, michigan area. i'm calling in defense of our city. we have a wonderful city. we have fallen on hard times. all of my family were f

what about russia's bid to join the wto? do you think russia can convince the u.s. to back its bid? >> i think russia's interest in joining the wto has declined markedly and recently russia announced that it's pulling its own application to join and would be reapplying to join along with kazakhstan as a joint trading block. i think that was a power play. it was basically saying, i think, to the international community, are you going to let us join the wto or not? this process has been dragging on for 16 years. it's time that it was brought to some sort of conclusion. either you are going to fast track these processes now and let us in or we're sending a signal that our interest in doing this is cooling. i think they sensed probably quite correctly that with georgia and ukraine on the inside of the wto that their chances of succeeding in joining has probably diminished significantly and, therefore, they are sending a signal of disinterest. >> okay, david, thanks so much for joining us this morning. david clark is the chair of the russia foundation. certainly a lot of attention will b

i already mentioned wto, we should work on appealing the obsolete amendment. and incase of supplemental change of the membership, and should consider the admission of one to three to congress. the business and rule of law are intrinsically connected. without the rule of law and improvement in regime of russia there will be severe impairment. human rights and freedom are important policies, that the previous administrations, both clinton and bush tried to pursue and were increasingly rebuffed. so one should hope for the best. the world would be a greater place if russia and the u.s. could cooperate on key issues. however if barack obama is rebuffed in moscow the administration should design a plan "b". for u.s. and allied interests in face of adversity. on a technical level, if you will permit me, mr. chairman, to thank our partner in today's conference,ria and the team in moscow. and draw your attention to two speakers, fritz and one other were contributors to those published in spring. there are other materials available and we appreciate your participation.

the events around wto exception showed to us to is the boss in russian politics. ina politics, and that is why i apologize for this example. -- i am in politics. s to anti-americanism on russian television, there is no tangible benefit you can touch and feel from it. but the russian mentality is made this way. we are looking for enemies to blame for all of our problems. that is easy. you gave a very good playing card for our authorities because you should have been more careful. then we would that be facing that kind of crisis carry it is easy to blame everybody, especially the americans. everybody is to blame except the russians cannot because they don't like to look into the mirror and ask themselves am i to blame? this sounds simple but it is very serious and sad. now let's talk about the expectations of the russian civil society for president obama's visit. there are no expectations at all. it is not just because our civil society is such is very scattered, it is not united. it does not have any evidence -- does not have any evidence he -- emminent expectation

because china is the wto. it ain't perfect and i don't want to defend their transgressionsbut at least they are part of the process. russia doesn't want t be part of t trade process. why is that? becauseheyare following recovery policies from the economic cres. they need to protect their industries, their poultry industry, automobile industry, pharmaceutical indtry, have virtually been wiped out by fr trade. e othething is they want to form separate bilateral relationships with the other soviet republics. >> the separate realities or alliances what does that mean to the baltics, to the ukraine, to georgia? >> i was only able to hear part of the previous segment. but one of the things that's unmistakable is that the europeans have made themselves dependent on russia for energy and so, yes there, is now a mutt ality of interest that's begun to develop in the sense that russians find it expedient to do business with the people who are now -- let's be honest, suppo supplicants. just watch any winter when the russi

correct me if i'm wrong, russia has actually withdrawn its application for the wto, the world trade organization. now, if you want the rules of law, if you want rules of the road, if you want american companies to come in there and do business and commerce and all of the rest of it, why aren't they subjecting themselves to the world trade organization? the way china has begun to? >> it's a great question. and there are a lot of u.s.-russian experts who are scratching their heads at that decision can't quite figure out exactly what the motivation is. is this the russia saying to the west, we don't need your stinking trade, or is it something else? are they about to indulge in a new round of protectionist measures, desire of governments across the world. we'll see whether or not the discussions that these two leaders had have any effect on that decision. but that's one that was strange, especially since russia appeared to have cleared all of the obstacles. >> let me ask ian, how do you reconcile this as an investor. ian, you're a fund manager looking at russia constantly to put your money in. how

plus what has happened, president putin most recently pulled back on russia's application for wto status. world trade organization status. that was surprising. it came at the last moment without notice. it was sort of a power play on his part to say number one, i'm still in charge. something as important as this. he's there. it might be more akin to a co-presidency, that's not what they would want to call it. >> shannon: talk about the missile defense issue. we're butting them with them quite a bit. how do we continue the process? it's a great self-interest to have missile defense system but they characterize it as something different than what the u.s. is promoting it as. how do we negotiate that? >> we sit down first an of all an try to explain what the mutual goals are. the russians said they are opposed to iran developing a nuclear weapons capability. they have said that, they have supported resolutions, but done very little to enforce serious sanctions that would cause iranians to pause in their plans to produce the nuclear weapons. we have said that we need to have a limited capabi
