Belarus, Ukraine come to terms about removing restrictive measures in mutual trade
29.12.2015 17:36 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
Belarus has set up an interdepartmental working group to assess the implications and develop proposals for the protection of national interests in connection with Russia’s restrictions in respect of goods from Ukraine, Belarus Radio says referring to the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs press service report.
As to the report, Belarusian and Ukrainian sides have come to terms about how they will go about removing restrictive measures in mutual trade. The decision was made at the second session of the Belarusian-Ukrainian high-level working group that had been assigned to deal with such matters.
Reportedly, the new arrangements will take care of the Ukrainian decision to introduce a special import duty against a number of Belarusian exports to Ukraine since Jan 20/16.
It is to be reminded, the Ukrainian Head of State has already signed the law on measures meant to stimulate foreign economic activities: since Jan 01/16 the law will rescind the extra import duty used against Belarusian products among other ones. So, the removal of the import duty will lift the existing tariff barriers that impede the access of Belarusian goods to the Ukrainian market. It will also create prerequisites for exporting more Belarusian products to Ukraine.
