EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

In the context of its accession to the WTO, the Russian Federation has committed to gradually reduce or eliminate its current export duties. The commitments regarding export duty rates have been included in Russia's Schedule of Concessions and Commitments on Goods, which will be annexed to Russia's WTO accession Protocol.

However, this Schedule only covers products (mainly raw materials) for which export duties are currently applied by the Russian Federation, and it is Russia's understanding that any raw materials not included on the Schedule are not subject to any export duty restrictions.

Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of new export duties being applied on other raw materials in future, the EU has negotiated a bilateral agreement, in the form of an exchange of letters, (hereinafter referred to as the "Agreement") which requires the Russian Federation to make its best efforts not to introduce or increase export duties for a list of raw materials that are included in an Annex to the letters. In addition, the Russian Federation commits to consult the European Commission advance and take its views into account should such export duties were considered. The list of raw materials covers those raw materials which are not listed in the above-mentioned Schedule of Concessions and Commitments on Goods, and for which Russia has more than 10% of global production or exports, or for which the EU has major import interest either existing or potential, or for which there is a risk of tension in global supplies. The agreement does not require the EU to undertake any commitments.

In order to ensure that the above-mentioned commitments of the Russian Federation regarding new export duties on raw materials apply from the date of the accession of the Russian Federation to the WTO, the Agreement should be applied provisionally from the date of such accession.

Proposal for a

COUNCIL DECISION

on the signing, on behalf of the European Union, and provisional application of the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union and the Russian Federation regarding the introduction or increase by the Russian Federation of export duties on raw materials

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 207(4) first subparagraph, in conjunction with Article 218(5) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission[1],

Whereas:

(1) On [...] the Council authorised the Commission to open negotiations for the accession of the Russian Federation to the World Trade Organisation (hereinafter referred to as the "WTO").

(2) Considering the economic importance for the European Union of access to raw materials and the importance that the Russian Federation has for the European Union as a supplier of raw materials, the Commission has negotiated with the Russian Federation commitments by the Russian Federation to reduce or eliminate its currently applied export duties.

(3) These commitments, which will be included in the Protocol of Accession of the Russian Federation to the WTO, do not cover raw materials for which Russia does not currently apply export duties.

(4) In order to reduce the risk of new export duties being introduced by the Russian Federation in the future, and the resulting effect on the supply of raw materials, the Commission has negotiated, on behalf of the Union, with the Russian Federation, an agreement in the form of an exchange of letters regarding the introduction or increase by the Russian Federation of export duties on raw materials (hereinafter referred to as "the Agreement").

(5) The Agreement should be signed on behalf of the Union, subject to its conclusion at a later date.

(6) In view of the need to ensure that the above-mentioned commitments of the Russian Federation regarding new export duties on raw materials apply from the date of accession of the Russian Federation to the WTO, the Agreement should be applied provisionally,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The signing of the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union and the Russian Federation regarding the introduction or increase by the Russian Federation of export duties on raw materials, is hereby approved on behalf of the Union, subject to the conclusion of the said agreement.

The text of the Agreement to be signed is attached to this Decision.

Article 2

The Council Secretariat General shall establish the instrument of full powers to sign the Agreement, subject to its conclusion, for the person(s) indicated by the negotiator of the Agreement.

Article 3

The Agreement shall be applied provisionally as from the date of accession of the Russian Federation to the WTO.

Article 4

This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.

Done at Brussels,

For the Council

The President

AGREEMENT

in the form of an exchange of letters between the European Union and the Russian Federation relating to the introduction or increase of export duties on raw materials

Letter No 1

[Letter from the Russian Federation]

............, ...........

Sir,

Following negotiations between the Russian Federation and the European Union (hereinafter referred to as Parties), with regard to the introduction or increase of export duties on raw materials, the Parties have reached the following understanding:

The Government of the Russian Federation shall make its best efforts not to introduce or increase export duties for the raw materials listed in the Annex to this Letter. This list was established based on the following criteria:

Raw materials, which are not listed in Part V of the Schedule of Concessions and Commitments on Goods of the Russian Federation and for which Russia has more than 10% of global production or exports, or where the EU has major import interest either existing or potential, or where there is a risk of tension in global supplies.

Should the Government of the Russian Federation consider the introduction or increase of export duties on these raw materials, it shall hold consultations with the European Commission at least 2 months prior to the implementation of such measures, with a view to arriving at a solution taking into account the interests of both sides.

With regard to products covered by the list contained in the annex to this letter which are also included in Part V of the Schedule of Concessions and Commitments on Goods of the Russian Federation in the WTO concerning export duties, provisions of this letter do not apply.

In case the European Union confirms its agreement with the set forth in this letter, I propose that this letter and the reply letter of the European Union will establish the Agreement between the Russian Federation and the European Union relating to the introduction or increase of export duties on raw materials, and this Agreement shall enter into force on the date in which the Parties exchange written notifications certifying that they have completed their respective internal procedures. This Agreement shall be applied provisionally from the date of the Russian Federation’s accession to the World Trade Organization.

Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.

[On behalf of the Russian Federation]
