“Milk quarrel” not to impede consultations about joining WTO

“The milk quarrel” between Russia and Belarus has not affected the consultations about the combined entrance of the Customs Union member-states to the World Trade Organization (WTO). The deputy head of the administration of the Russian Ministry for Economic Development Andrei Slepnyov has claimed it today, on June 16. He noted that the consultations have been conducted since Monday. Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan are taking part in them.

RIA “Novosti” reminds that Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan have been trying to unify customs rules and tariffs to create the Customs Union. The administrations of the three states decided to join the WTO as a single customs territory a week ago.
