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 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 and the Protocol should be applied provisionally from the
date of such accession.

Proposal for a

COUNCIL DECISION

on the conclusion, on behalf of the
European Union, 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

Federation regarding the introduction or increase by the Russian Federation of
export duties on raw materials (hereinafter referred to as "the
Agreement"), was signed on [...], subject to its conclusion at a later date.

(2)       The Agreement was
negotiated and signed in view of 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.

(3)       The Agreement should be
approved on behalf of the European Union,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

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]

Letter No 2

[Letter from the European Union]

Sir, I have the
honour to acknowledge receipt of your latter of today's date, worded as
