AGREEMENT

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

1.   

Letter from the Russian Federation

Geneva, 16 December 2011
Dear Sirs,
Following negotiations between the Russian Federation and the European Union (hereinafter referred to as the ‘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 in the World Trade Organization (WTO) and for which the Russian Federation has more than 10 percent of global production or exports, or where the European Union 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 those raw materials, it shall hold consultations with the European Commission at least two months prior to the implementation of such measures, with a view to arriving at a solution taking into account the interests of both Parties.
 
With regard to products listed 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 terms set forth in this letter, I propose that this letter and the reply letter of the European Union shall constitute the Agreement between the Russian Federation and the European Union relating to the introduction or increase of export duties on raw materials. This Agreement shall enter into force on the date on 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 WTO.
Please accept, Sirs, the assurance of my highest consideration.
For the Russian Federation

Letter from the European Union

Geneva, 16 December 2011
Dear Minister,
We have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of today’s date, which reads as follows:
‘Following negotiations between the Russian Federation and the European Union (hereinafter referred to as the “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 in the World Trade Organization (WTO) and for which the Russian Federation has more than 10 percent of global production or exports, or where the European Union 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 those raw materials, it shall hold consultations with the European Commission at least two months prior to the implementation of such measures, with a view to arriving at a solution taking into account the interests of both Parties.
 
With regard to products listed 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 terms set forth in this letter, I propose that this letter and the reply letter of the European Union shall constitute the Agreement between the Russian Federation and the European Union relating to the introduction or increase of export duties on raw materials. This Agreement shall enter into force on the date on 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 WTO.’.
The European Union has the honour to confirm its agreement with the contents of this letter.
Please accept, Madame, the assurance of our highest consideration.
For the European Union
