"This bilateral agreement with the Russian Federation was negotiated within the framework of its process of accession to the World Trade Organisation (WTO). In this context, the Russian Federation has committed to reduce gradually or eliminate its existing export duties. Under the bilateral agreement, the Russian Government commits to make its best efforts not to introduce or increase export duties for the raw materials listed in the agreement, since they are commodities in which the EU has major import interest, either existing or potential, and over which there is a risk of tension in global supplies. Therefore, if it wishes to apply export duties to these products, Russia is obliged to consult the Commission at least two months in advance, with a view to reaching a solution that takes into account the interests of both sides. We therefore expect an appropriately serious commitment to the reforms required by accession to the WTO, without delay, to reciprocity and to negotiations towards a mutually beneficial new agreement, particularly as regards energy, trade and investment."@en1
