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.

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 Commission1, 

Whereas: 

(1) 

(2) 

(3) 

(4) 

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").  

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. 

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. 

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.

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

[Letter from the European Union] 

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

"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

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,
