announced the establishment of a Customs Union, Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan are now trying to agree how it will work. One of the main issues - how to enroll by the customs fees: one or the recipient country.

agree on how to work a single customs territory, officials of the three countries tried yesterday at a meeting of the Customs Union Commission. Two weeks ago, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, Sergei Sidorsky, and Karim Massimov stated that the Customs Union will be finalized by July 1, 2011 is planned that by that time the entire customs controls will be imposed at the external borders and internal borders will not be. Since January 2010 the country should switch to a single customs tariff on the entire territory of the Union.

in connection with the establishment of trade union negotiators Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan a week ago, told the WTO secretariat for the suspension of individual negotiations, and plans to enter the trade organization for the rights of a single customs area.

But while officials have not agreed on many key positions actions unified customs regime, told the two officials involved in the consultations. For example, it is unclear which will be sent to customs fees (last year the Russian Federal Customs Service collected and transferred to the budget of 4.616 trillion rubles.). Yesterday, the question of their enrollment and distribution was discussed at a meeting of the Customs Union Commission, told the meeting on the first vice-premier Igor Shuvalov. We consider two options: to transfer them to a single account or on a different account - on the basis of the country of destination, - Shuvalov explained. The decision on this matter, he said, could be taken within a month.

the formation of Union of Russia will have to delegate a significant portion of the powers of administration and collection of payments for imports (VAT, excise, customs duties), customs authorities of other countries, said an official of one of the agencies participating in the discussion of the problem. But in many parts of the external border of Kazakhstan has so far not even a demarcation, he observes. Despite the fact that the rates of customs tariff agreed and will come into effect after six months, their impact on the economy and state budgets of countries - participants of the Customs Union so far has not been studied, the official continued. Not discussed a single customs tariff and to business.

Fears were aggravated and in recent years relations between Russia and Belarus, said another official involved in discussions. If disputes arise now, it is unclear how the system can start to work as a whole and in such a short period, he observes. But yesterday the two sides stated that intractable differences they do not. No difficulty about the admission of the Belarusian products to the market, nor any other difficulty is not to show the process of disintegration, - said Shuvalov. A similar statement was made yesterday, and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.

This precocious Union could do more harm than good, says an expert in customs law Goltsblat BLP Elena Belozerova. Nobody has seen any new rates of customs, nor the new Customs Code of the three states, which are conditions of clearance of goods in 2010 and what they expect, it was not - she complains.
