As found “Kommersant”, the Russian agricultural producers complained to the authorities of the Russian Federation on discriminatory supply conditions in the largest export market of Kazakhstan. The local government requires the car recycling fee to Russian and local companies, but not c producers from abroad, as well as provide the latest higher subsidies. According to “Kommersant”, the Kazakh authorities still plan to adjust the terms of payment of car recycling fee, but the question of subsidies is not yet resolved. Against this background, the Eurasian economic Commission prepares the proposals on which the import from the countries of the Customs Union can not be put in a worse condition than other countries.”Rosspetsmash” at the end of April appealed to the government of the Russian Federation with the request to take measures for the abolition of “discriminatory conditions” for Russian-made agricultural equipment in Kazakhstan (the letter is “b”). Speech, in particular, the obligation to pay the car recycling fee, although the technique from abroad are exempt from it. Kazakhstan is the largest export market for Russian agricultural machinery with a volume of about $180 million a year.The idea of introducing a collection in Kazakhstan was in the promotion of localization, says the Vice-President of “Agromashholding KZ” Dinara Lukyanova. It was assumed that those who produce products in Kazakhstan, the fee will be reimbursed (similar mechanism exist in Russia). Now, however, the fee is paid by all manufacturers (including local, which it is not currently reimbursed), in addition to importers from foreign countries called a highly effective, she explains. When you attempt to introduce payment authorities are faced with resistance on the part of domestic farmers, who work on technology produced in foreign countries. “We are Kazakhstani producers — we believe that all the Butch provoked by importers that are not willing to locate production in the country. The imposition of a fee would affect the price of their equipment,”— said “Kommersant” Dinara Lukyanova.The Eurasian economic Commission (EEC) told Kommersant that in the order No. 95 of the scrappage fee introduced in Kazakhstan, enshrined the exemption allowing not to pay it to foreign companies such as AGCO, John Deere, Case New Holland and others. The Ministry of industry and trade of the Russian Federation saying that the results of the EEC Council dated 21 February was instructed to request the government of Kazakhstan to equalize the conditions of payment of fees to the period up to 7 may. The EEC added that such amendments are prepared and national coordination.As reported by “Kommersant” in the Ministry of industry and infrastructure development in Kazakhstan, according to the amendments, the exemption will only receive utilsbora, the company who localized their production.In addition, “Rosspetsmash” complains the unfair distribution of subsidies for new equipment. So, for tractors with power 90-130 ��. C. production of Kazakhstan, CIS and PRC subsidies can be provided for equipment costing no more than 9.8 million tenge, and for models from Asia, Europe, America and 13.2 million tenge, says the ECE. Foreign technology eventually takes most of the subsidies, said Dinara Lukyanova. The Ministry of agriculture of Kazakhstan, told “Kommersant” that the agricultural machinery set the standard subsidy — 25% of the maximum permissible value irrespective of the country of production. Limits at a cost not allow suppliers to artificially inflate prices. The difference in the amount of compensation, the Ministry explained, “the higher price category of models, countries of Asia, Europe and America in comparison with the technique of the CIS countries”.Dmitry Babanskiy of SBS Consulting said that Kazakhstan is one of the key export markets for Russian-made agricultural equipment. Harvester and tractor production in the Republic is represented only by the Russian and Belarusian enterprises: “Rostselmash” in Kokchetav, Gomselmash in Kustanai, MTZ in Semey. While Russian producers are discriminated against the most, said Mr. Babanskii, because 90% of the equipment acquired through the structure of the Ministry of agriculture “KazAgroFinance”. The company participates in the “Made in Belarus” on which the rate on leasing of equipment is 1% (10% subsidizes Kazakhstan, 6% in Belarus).But the EEC told “Kommersant” that prepared “the system solution”. It is assumed that if one of the countries of the Customs Union applies a privilege or benefit to any imported goods, then the same benefits should be granted to similar goods of the countries of the Union. Now is a study document by the Commission’s experts.Olga Nikitina; Alexander Konstantinov, Nur-Sultan
