Russia has accessed to the WTO as a developed country, assuming the absence of any preferences. Analysis of the legislation showed that Russia has corrected juridical drawbacks in certain fields, revised the outdated laws and made the new ones, thereby adjusting the legislation in accordance with the WTO regulations. Liabilities concerning the following subjects were assumed: special economics areas, reducing of import tariffs, fixation of export duties, suspension of tariff quotas (excluding several agricultural goods), support of agriculture, market access for services, protection of intellectual property rights, investment of capital, sanitary and phytosanitary standard specifications, technical regulations, etc. In order to get the maximum benefit and the minimum losses for the country out of the accession to the WTO, the government's actions must include both the measures aimed at fast and painless restructuring of the competitive sectors of Russian economy and the measures allowing one to increase the positive effects of membership in the World Trade Organization.
