It became known what will happen after our country leaves the World Trade Organization.
According to Maxim Medvedkov, the former director of the Trade negotiations Department of the Ministry of Energy, Russia’s withdrawal from the WTO will change the rules of trade with countries that did not impose sanctions against our country.
According to RIA Novosti, earlier the just Russians proposed to the State Duma a document denouncing the protocol on Russia’s accession to the WTO.
According to Medvekov, if we mentally divide all countries into those who imposed sanctions against Russia and those who did not, then from the point of view of trade, the volumes will be distributed approximately equally.
At the same time, the second half will increase, and WTO rules will continue to operate in trade with them.
“But the WTO rules, I think, will be applied to some extent in trade with sanctioning countries, ”, – the specialist is sure.
He regards Russia’s refusal of WTO membership as a desire to trade with the world without rules.
Medvedkov noted that the WTO establishes the obligations of the parties. In the absence of such rules, there are no guarantees of how states will act towards each other in trade.
WTO membership, according to the expert, is a guarantee of trade on an equal basis.
Earlier, topNews wrote that the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation announced a ban on the exit of foreign business from the assets of the Russian Federation.
Business, as the politician said, makes decisions under pressure.
