Russia's WTO accession is on everyone's lips! The key moment is possible intervention of international business into Russian internal market.
Main and the most expected innovation is reduction of export duties for round timber, which are to be reviewed annually. The reduction will not be applied to all kind of wood for example, crude birch quotes will not be applied but the duties will be set up from the zero point as they used to be. Large Finish exporters lobby the cancellation of this limitation, as many mills are technologically dependable on birch wood.
Reduction and even cancellation of export duties should provoke growth of forest harvesting, which should be positive for Russian forest industry, but on the other side there is strong constraining factor - new European legislation coming into effect in March 2013 which prohibits import of wood which legality is not approved by documentation to the EU.
Head of Forest Stewardship Council in Russia, Andrey Ptichnikov comments it:
"Each exporter to European markets, should have a system of due conscientiousness to track the origin of imported timber. The first requirement is legality; the second is information about the wood composition for all imported forest products. And the last one - the exporter must know what region the timber was delivered from. For example last year FCS investigated the interesting case. We examined Wal-Mart's, biggest US retailer, notepads. It turned out that their notepads where made of Siberian woods, which was shipped to China. Russian wood is processed to cellulose in China and then goes to the USA through a complex chain of countries-facilitators; it can be Vietnam, South America or Europe. Then all these streams flow into one and at the end the customer have Wal-Marts notepads" All these new rules can lead to the establishment of new supervisory structures and inspections formed in Europe with representatives in Russia to support and consult local loggers.
Looking at finished wood products - some kinds of products import duties will be cut in three times by 2015. It opens imports gates to furniture and pulp & paper markets. Thus duties for newspaper in rolls will be reduced from 15% to 5%, for coated paper and cardboard from 15% to 10-5%. Container board which is used for corrugated packaging will be out of competition: before that local producers won their pricing war due to high import duty rates. In case of duties reduction the low-price and good quality European container board will be welcomed on Russian market and will play a favorite among consumers choice.
Import duties reduction also works for machinery segment. It simplifies the procedure of bringing in specialized equipment to Russian forestry and pulp and paper industry which is starving for modernization! It of course makes Russian market even more attractive for international investments!
WTO accession is controversial, but it's obvious that it opens new perspectives for the industry. Now Russia is seen as main importer of raw materials, but with wise approach to WTO benefits, it is possible to strengthen the whole cycle of pulp & paper production and bring raw and end-product to the competitive standard!

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
