European Parliament
Philippe Juvin  (PPE ),
in writing.
(FR)
Within the framework of its accession to the World Trade Organisation (WTO), Russia has committed to gradually reduce or eliminate the export duties that it currently applies to certain raw materials, as listed in the schedule to its protocol of accession. However, certain raw materials fall outside the scope of these commitments. That is why Ms Vaidere’s report provides an additional list of raw materials that will now become an integral part of the commitments between the EU and Russia. I voted in favour of this report adopted in plenary in July 2012.
