AGREEMENT
in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union and the Russian Federation
relating to the introduction or increase of export duties on raw materials
1. Letter from the Russian Federation
Geneva, 16 December 2011
Dear Sirs,
Following negotiations between the Russian Federation and the European Union (hereinafter referred to as
the ‘Parties’) with regard to the introduction or increase of export duties on raw materials, the Parties have
reached the following understanding:
The Government of the Russian Federation shall make its best efforts not to introduce or increase export
duties for the raw materials listed in the Annex to this letter. This list was established based on the following
criteria:
Raw materials, which are not listed in Part V of the Schedule of Concessions and Commitments on Goods
of the Russian Federation in the World Trade Organization (WTO) and for which the Russian Federation has
more than 10 percent of global production or exports, or where the European Union has major import
interest, either existing or potential, or where there is a risk of tension in global supplies.
Should the Government of the Russian Federation consider the introduction or increase of export duties on
those raw materials, it shall hold consultations with the European Commission at least two months prior to
the implementation of such measures, with a view to arriving at a solution taking into account the interests
of both Parties.
With regard to products listed in the Annex to this letter which are also included in Part V of the Schedule
of Concessions and Commitments on Goods of the Russian Federation in the WTO concerning export
duties, provisions of this letter do not apply.
In case the European Union confirms its agreement with the terms set forth in this letter, I propose that this
letter and the reply letter of the European Union shall constitute the Agreement between the Russian
Federation and the European Union relating to the introduction or increase of export duties on raw
materials. This Agreement shall enter into force on the date on which the Parties exchange written
notifications certifying that they have completed their respective internal procedures. This Agreement
shall be applied provisionally from the date of the Russian Federation’s accession to the WTO.
Please accept, Sirs, the assurance of my highest consideration.
For the Russian Federation

2. Letter from the European Union
Geneva, 16 December 2011
Dear Minister,
We have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of today’s date, which reads as follows:
‘Following negotiations between the Russian Federation and the European Union (hereinafter referred to
as the “Parties”) with regard to the introduction or increase of export duties on raw materials, the Parties
have reached the following understanding:
The Government of the Russian Federation shall make its best efforts not to introduce or increase export
duties for the raw materials listed in the Annex to this letter. This list was established based on the
following criteria:
Raw materials, which are not listed in Part V of the Schedule of Concessions and Commitments on
Goods of the Russian Federation in the World Trade Organization (WTO) and for which the Russian
Federation has more than 10 percent of global production or exports, or where the European Union has
major import interest, either existing or potential, or where there is a risk of tension in global supplies.
Should the Government of the Russian Federation consider the introduction or increase of export duties
on those raw materials, it shall hold consultations with the European Commission at least two months
prior to the implementation of such measures, with a view to arriving at a solution taking into account
the interests of both Parties.
With regard to products listed in the Annex to this letter which are also included in Part V of the
Schedule of Concessions and Commitments on Goods of the Russian Federation in the WTO concerning
export duties, provisions of this letter do not apply.
In case the European Union confirms its agreement with the terms set forth in this letter, I propose that
this letter and the reply letter of the European Union shall constitute the Agreement between the Russian
Federation and the European Union relating to the introduction or increase of export duties on raw
materials. This Agreement shall enter into force on the date on which the Parties exchange written
notifications certifying that they have completed their respective internal procedures. This Agreement
shall be applied provisionally from the date of the Russian Federation’s accession to the WTO.’.
The European Union has the honour to confirm its agreement with the contents of this letter.
Please accept, Madame, the assurance of our highest consideration.
For the European Union
Waldemar PAWLAK
Karel DE GUCHT
Deputy Prime Minister,
Commissioner for Trade
Minister for Economy of the Republic of Poland
of the European Commission
