Russia's rocky road to WTO accession application
Russia's history dates back to Soviet times. In the late 1970s, further easing East-West relations, in order to strengthen economic and trade ties with the West, the Western developed capitalist countries to obtain financial and technical support, in 1978, the CPSU Central Committee decided to strengthen and GATT (GАТТ, World WTO's predecessor) contact.

2000 年 Putin came to power, the Russian government will promote the accession to the WTO as one of the most important tasks of government work. In April 2000, Putin to the Russian Duma said in its annual State of the Union, In order to achieve this goal as quickly as possible, in the next few years, the Russian government made a lot of work, a series of measures to narrow the gap between the WTO requirements, including a substantial reduction of tariffs to adjust and develop or modify laws, regulations to adapt with the WTO to eliminate the separatist local market, a unified national market.

Obama said, Russian and U.S. leaders have expressed hope that Russia's WTO technical issues to the September 1 can be resolved. In this regard, Russia's
In what ways is more than ten years of marathon negotiations. What causes Russia's long-cherished wish come true, is technical, considerations? Or international political game? I think both. Objectively speaking, the long-term problems affecting Russia's accession to the WTO there are three.
price difference inside and outside Russia's energy problems. This is a focal point. For a long time, Russia's oil, gas, electricity and other energy products implement different prices at home and abroad. EU and other Western countries believe that the products produced under these conditions with the nature of state subsidies, the WTO does not allow non-fair market competition, therefore, Russia's WTO accession negotiations, the EU insisted that Russia in the short term energy prices leveling the difference. However, Russia can not accept a one-time request to eliminate the energy spread. Russia explained: domestic energy prices will have pushed up oil and chemical processing industries dependent on raw material production costs, which will seriously affect exports to Russia; domestic energy prices may lead to hyperinflation, disrupt the price system, damage to national economic stability. Therefore, Russia can only choose the gradual elimination of energy spread at home and abroad. May 21, 2004, with EU support for Russia's WTO accession protocol signed,
casque dr dre, the energy spread problem is resolved. In this agreement, Russia pledged in 2004, Russia's domestic price per thousand cubic meters of gas 27 to $ 28 in 2006 to 37 ~ 42 U.S. dollars in 2010 will rise to 49 to 50 dollars.
agricultural subsidies. Western countries, Russia must reduce the amount of agricultural subsidies, WTO, some of the major agricultural exporting countries such as Australia, Brazil and even Russia demands the complete elimination of agricultural export subsidies. In accordance with the relevant provisions of the WTO, WTO members should be the amount of agricultural subsidies in the past three years,
abercrombie france, with its basis for the calculation of subsidies, but because of financial difficulties in Russia, the small number of agricultural subsidies, such as agricultural subsidies in 2003, less than $ 1 billion . In order to secure more domestic agricultural subsidy, the WTO, Russia does not agree with the calculation method, that this is unfair on their own. After several negotiations, Russia initially proposed 162 billion dollars in subsidies on the basis of the standard has dropped, but still difficult to achieve the requirements of WTO members, namely, reduced to 90 billion dollars. Russia and Europe to end agricultural subsidies in the European Union signed a protocol to support Russia's accession to the WTO be resolved. Under the agreement, the EU agreed to Russia's annual $ 13 billion on agricultural subsidies, and that in future negotiations to support Russia's position. But in return, Russia is to ensure that EU meat exports to Russia share the same.
liberalization issues. The West that Russia fully liberalized aviation, finance, insurance and telecommunications services market, while Russia insists on gradual, limited opening. Restrictions on foreign banks is a major obstacle to US-Russian negotiations, one of which is difficult to progress in the negotiations has been the main reason.
In addition, the impact on Russia's accession to the WTO can not ignore the political factors. On the one hand, Russia's WTO accession has been for different voices. Putin advocates the official representative of Russia's WTO accession, however, most entrepreneurs are worried about Russia: Russia, the overall level of agriculture and processing industry is very low, and its products in the international market is not competitive, difficult to deal with the impact of the West, and communications, banking industry and the insurance industry is still in its infancy in emerging industries and the Western countries can not be more similar competition in the industry. In addition, the Russian academic point of view is also inconsistent,
abercrombie, even in favor of the accession of scholars believe that the negotiations must take full account of the difficulties that may arise, for Russia to maximize favorable conditions for self-protection.
the other hand, integration into the world economy out of concerns about the revival of Russia, the Western countries also interested in blocking Russia's accession to the WTO's pace. For the West, Russia's national revival is not in their interests. In recent years, with the economic situation continues to improve, social and political situation is stabilizing, Russia, showing a strong revival of momentum. In diplomacy, comprehensive national strength in a series of international hot spots in Russia's attitude on the issue more and more tough, and even dare to challenge the international status of the United States. In accession to the WTO, if successful laissez-faire Russian accession to the WTO, it will undoubtedly help Russia to re-enter the world's economic powers of the hand, which is obviously not willing to do in Western countries. Because of this, in Russia's WTO accession negotiations, the Western countries not only to take Russia's domestic economic situation is not consistent with WTO rules that matter, and was prone to delay Russia's WTO accession negotiations, threatening to Russia in order to achieve a number of other issues on the purpose of asking price . Therefore, it is not hard to understand: Why Russia is only a stone's throw away from the door of the WTO, but it seems,
