Protectionism in Russia

Written by Sergey Talpa


The new law "Special Protective, Antidumping and Import Compensatory Measures" differs fromrepparttar old one byrepparttar 103196 fact that it fully complies withrepparttar 103197 WTO (World Trade Organization) standards. It is forrepparttar 103198 first time inrepparttar 103199 Russian practice that a law describes in detail what is necessary to do in order to protectrepparttar 103200 Russian market and how to do it. As its authors promised,repparttar 103201 Law has turned out to be extremely concrete: it is conceived so thatrepparttar 103202 officials as well asrepparttar 103203 participants of trade agreements will be able to find straight answers to their questions, and they should not search for any special "explanations" and "commentaries".

The law provides a listing of basic concepts. Not everyone in Russia, even among lawyers, will be able to tell straight off what "dumping leverage" is, and what "dumping import" is. Forrepparttar 103204 majority of people it becomes a revelation, that "dumping" is notrepparttar 103205 sale of foreign goods in Russia at lower prices than similar local products cost (that's what for some reason most people think) butrepparttar 103206 sale of a product cheaper, than local production costs. A number of base concepts comprise such, as "the material loss of an industry" (what to understand in general underrepparttar 103207 term "damage") and "serious damage " (how to calculate it), and in general a lot of other things, which are clear "in general", but very artful when officials start to build a state policy, based onrepparttar 103208 intuitive understanding of such terms.

For example,repparttar 103209 Law providesrepparttar 103210 description ofrepparttar 103211 investigation concept, which should precederepparttar 103212 introduction of all protective measures against "bad" foreign goods.

The Law states, thatrepparttar 103213 body responsible for investigation, is appointed byrepparttar 103214 decision ofrepparttar 103215 Government ofrepparttar 103216 Russian Federation, and defines concrete timeframe, both forrepparttar 103217 investigation, and for implementation of its results (the measures, taken according to investigation results should be approved byrepparttar 103218 Government not later than 14 days after they are exposed). In case of a highly critical situation such measures need to be introduced extremely rapidly, asrepparttar 103219 Government can practically instantly introduce a special tax (protective import tax) onrepparttar 103220 goods that cause damage torepparttar 103221 economy. Should it be found out later, that this tax is excessively heavy;repparttar 103222 foreign trade participants will haverepparttar 103223 right to be reimbursed forrepparttar 103224 actual incurred losses. Such import tax cannot be effective for more than 200 days.

The Law describes in detail how to establishrepparttar 103225 degree of damage torepparttar 103226 Russian economy from "bad" import. Special protective measures have to be implemented in order to protectrepparttar 103227 economy,repparttar 103228 Law clearly defines, what those are and in what case they should be used, for how long and what isrepparttar 103229 order of their review. The main idea behind this is that such protective measures should be lifted, as soon as they fulfill their purpose. It is important not to go too far with those measures, otherwiserepparttar 103230 market protection may cause more harm than good, creating withrepparttar 103231 domestic manufacturer a sensation of absence of competition, thatrepparttar 103232 buyers will berepparttar 103233 first ones to feel.
