Ukraine threatens Russia with a complaint to the WTO in connection with restrictive measures

55
Natalya Mikolskaya, the trade representative of Ukraine, stated that in February Kiev intends to raise the issue of the illegality of the “restrictive measures” adopted in Russia's trade relations with Ukraine within the WTO. According to Mikolskoy, Russia is violating the rules of the World Trade Organization, imposing an embargo on the import of Ukrainian food and other goods, as well as obstructing the transit of goods to Kazakhstan.

RIA News cites a fragment of Natalia Mikolskaya's statement:

Now we are awaiting the reaction of WTO members regarding the support of Kiev’s statement regarding the Russian pro-bargo. The next forum in which we raise this issue will be the general meeting of the WTO, which will be held in the second half of February, where we expect support for our position. The next step is to initiate the consideration of disputes, primarily on transit issues. We believe that all the actions of the Russian Federation are contrary to the general principles of the functioning of the WTO, the obligations of the Russian Federation, which it assumed upon itself, joining the WTO.


Ukraine threatens Russia with a complaint to the WTO in connection with restrictive measures


It is necessary to touch on the issue related to the intentions of the Ukrainian authorities to expand the pro-bargo for Russian goods. Such an extension was recently announced by the Prime Minister of Ukraine Yatsenyuk, adding that on January 20 (today) Kiev will present a more impressive list of goods prohibited from being imported into the territory of Ukraine from the Russian Federation.

Interesting logic in Kiev. If it is at all. The support of Kiev’s anti-Russian sanctions packages, therefore, corresponds to WTO standards, but does Moscow not respond? And how is Kiev going to raise the issue of the illegality of Russian restrictions on Ukraine, if he himself expands the lists of his restrictions on Russia?

    Complaints about sworn neighbors are a common Kiev entertainment. And the fact that Ukraine itself in the WTO will occupy the status of a garbage container does not bother them somehow. These are restrictions in response to our duties on Ukrainian goods. Well, if you don’t want to feed the aggressors, then it’s not necessary. We will live somehow without the Nemirs and Roshen. No, now you are a CEEurope, so think for yourself where to shove Ukrainian high-quality products. Probably to China by ship through the Odessa port. Very logistic even.

        Europe no longer recalls the WTO rules and who first violated them. And in Ukraine everyone wants to show their coolness, only Gazprom’s lawsuit for more than 2 billion will be more serious, even in terms of the country's image. Although there’s an image
        And in general, how many lawsuits has Ukraine filed against Russia? A bunch, really, most of them are in words, and those that are filed even in the short term will not be considered

      Now, if Russia suddenly leaves the WTO, where to put the complaint?

      Khokhlov will not need a lot of imagination - they will turn this complaint into a tube and put it into their dupes. And deeper. I think for this Russia’s exit from the WTO will not even be needed. Although, indeed, it is better to have nothing to do with this muddy office.
      Interesting logic in Kiev. If at all. Does Kiev support the package of anti-Russian sanctions, therefore, it complies with WTO standards, but Moscow’s retaliatory measures do not?

      Quite normal Khokhlo-logic: "And what about us?"

        In connection with the entry of Ukraine into the association with the EU and customs protection of the CU (remember? "I do not want to join the CU, but I want lace panties in the EU"), from January 1, 2016, the regime of maximum favored (RNB). I quote Medvedev
        “From January 1, 2016, Ukraine will apply import duties stipulated by the common customs tariff of the EAEU, that is, the most favored nation treatment will apply to Ukraine without any exceptions. All preferences are a thing of the past, there will be no benefits ”(quote from TASS).

        Well, and further, since Ukraine joined the general anti-Russian sanctions, it began to fall under Russian sanctions as well - I quote: those types of goods against which the Russian embargo against the EU, the USA, Canada and Australia will be banned.

        So, no one in Russia had any special machinations for Ukraine, just such panties with mugs are obtained. Well, of course, if you really want to, you can cry into the vest and the WTO.

      The first results of the FTA: The economy is kranty, but we are Europeans

      Analysis of export to the EU by quotas from the columnist of “Ukrainian Truth” Yuriy Panchenko:
      “In 2014, and in 2015, Ukraine completely exhausted the annual quotas for deliveries to the EU of corn (400 thousand tons), processed tomatoes (10 thousand tons), grape and apple juices (10 thousand tons), as well as honey (5 thousand tons). These are the most popular articles of our exports to the EU. A characteristic episode - annual quotas for honey exports were exhausted a day after the receipt of applications. Therefore, in relation to these commodity items, Ukrainian officials have repeatedly stated the need to increase quotas. ”

      And when they signed the agreement, where did they look? Mistress Nuland's mouth?

      Not only Ukraine can go crazy.
      By imposing sanctions on Russia, the United States and the EU thereby destroyed the WTO system. Now, there is simply no legal status fix - inactive. In fact, turning to the WTO system when the floor of the world neglects its rules is ridiculous.
