Manturov considers inappropriate withdrawal of Russia from the WTO

the head of the Ministry of industry and trade Denis Manturov considers inappropriate proposal for the withdrawal of Russia from the WTO, because membership in this organization is not a barrier to support domestic producers, the correspondent “of Rosbalt”.

a proposal to withdraw from the WTO addressed to the Minister on the “pravchasa” in the state Duma deputies from the Communist party, who intend to submit a bill to Parliament. The Communists are convinced that Russia’s membership in this international organization is a significant obstacle to the development of the domestic industry.

In response, Manturov reminded that the preparation and process of Russia’s accession to the WTO lasted almost 16 years. “All I hoped for maximum benefits and results, but I have to agree — the obvious result of the money count is extremely difficult,” — said the Minister.

however, he drew attention to the fact that participation in the WTO allows countries, including Russia, to apply preferences to support domestic producers “within the framework of civilized rules.”

“Go tonight, I don’t think it’s appropriate. We had eight years to adapt to these conditions, we are in the same conditions with other countries and can protect the interests of our producers,” — said Manturov.
