Today, the WTO examines four of the dispute between Ukraine and Russia.
Today in the world trade organization examines four of the dispute between Ukraine and Russia: two of them Ukraine is the plaintiff, and two by the defendant.
This was the first trade representative of Ukraine Natalia Mykolskiy.
According to her, in one of the Ukrainian claims we are talking about rail and wagons: in this case, the Ukrainian side has progressed furthest, and a decision is expected in April 2018.
“The Russian side is deliberately delaying the process with various procedural traps, starting with the appointment of arbitrators. Unfortunately, Russia does not give us the ability to move as fast as we want,” said Gaina.
The second claim relates to the prohibition of transit is also moving slowly.
“We are legal advisers involved in the matter, quite a lot of time to avoide from the Russian Federation. Because from the point of view of economy and state interests, this case is extremely important. It concerns not only the transit ban imposed by the decree of the President, blocking the transit of a number of goods to third countries, but also the ban on the basis of decisions . Of the CPS. It is actually four large groups of appeals,” said Gaina.
At the same time, the WTO is considering the lawsuits filed by Russia against Ukraine. According to the first sales representative, the first case concerns anti-dumping measures on imports of nitrate Amon. Now this case is under consideration of dispute, the decision can be expected before the first quarter of next year.
The second thing is the comprehensive claim of the Russian Federation against Ukraine concerning sanctions and the mass of other restrictions, including measures to counter aggression.
“The lawsuit is really comprehensive, it touches a large number of restrictions in different areas, which Ukraine introduced in response to the particular aggression of the Russian Federation. Ranging from military to cultural spheres,” said Gaina, Recalling that on July 19 in this case has held consultations with the Russian Federation.
“I think that all cases, disputes between Ukraine and Russia have a systemic interest to all WTO members. Because the questions, which we touch on in this debate, is not a restrictions from the Russian Federation or Ukraine, it is not the ordinary questions of Commerce, questions of aggression and counter it. So they definitely raise the system interest,” she concluded.
