Quick exhaustion of export quotas for wheat, barley, rye and corn is due to imperfections in the rules of customs clearance of goods. They are in urgent need of revision, as “Support of Russia” asks the Vice-Premier of Victoria Abramchenko. In organizations point: today, some traders are unable to fulfil the contracts, threatening them with default and could worsen the investment climate in the country. However, experts warn that changing the rules at this stage may only worsen the situation.”OPORA Russia” announced Vice-Premier of Victoria Abramchenko about the “facts of manipulation of individual market participants” quota on the export of grain from Russia. Copies of the statement of the organization is at “b”. The quota for export of 7 million tons of wheat, corn, barley and rye was set from April 1 to June 30. As pointed out by “OPORA Russia”, although by 24 April, the quota was selected only by 3.95 million tons, already on 26 April, she was completely zeroed. After this custom ceased to issue declarations for export outside the EEC.According to experts of “OPORA Russia”, the situation is caused by imperfection of decree No. 385 and the possibility of application of incomplete customs Declaration (NTD) of the product. This mode is applied to exports, for example, when the goods are at the port, and the ship is delayed, says the organization. Open NTD in such cases allows you to “get a quote”. This mechanism was used by unfair participants of the market, “reserving” them all, the letter says. This will not only cause damage to the market participants, but will impact on the investment climate in Russia, say there.”Support of Russia” proposes to urgently change order No. 385, however, to avoid any possibility of such manipulation, and the customs authorities can respond to violations of the NTD. The document must prescribe the monitoring mechanism of the balance of the quotas intended for export and on actual exports, to see the gap, according to the “Support of Russia”. The organization asks Mrs. Abramchenko be given the opportunity to complete the customs clearance has already shipped or are in the ports of cargo. In the office of the Vice Prime Minister’s letter has not yet arrived, said the Deputy Prime Minister March Galicheva. According to her, after receiving treatment will develop.To intervene in a situation of “OPORA Russia” has appealed to the Ministry of agriculture and the Federal customs service (FCS). In FTS treatment did not comment. The Ministry of agriculture promised to consider the letter. It also noted that Russia and the EEU countries have a high demand for grain processors, therefore the traders have the ability to redirect sales to these markets.”It is not clear why traders, carrying grain to the port, waited to receive the customs Declaration, knowing the quota. SEL��Raleigh its quite good exporters that plan to execute the contracts. And if customs checks, some supply may be broken”— says the expert. Mr. Sizov adds that “Support of Russia” and all market participants should seek the abolition of quotas in General and at all levels.Anatoly Kostyriv
