Сравнительно-правовой аспект Протокола о присоединении России к Договору об учреждении ВТО и российского законодательства о международной торговле услугами

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to study the comparative legal aspect of the Protocol on Russia’s accession to the WTO Treaty and Russian legislation on international trade in services. The author notes that the norms of WTO law were incorporated into Russian legislation almost without changes, and which are reflected in the provisions of Federal legislation that meet the obligations of the Russian Federation in almost all areas affected by the “Protocol on Russia’s accession to the Treaty establishing the WTO”. It is concluded that Russia’s accession to the WTO did not contribute to a significant change in the legal regulation of international turnover of services. However, thanks largely to the implementation of the provisions of WTO law, it has made it possible to increase its effectiveness by more clearly defining the status of service providers and the procedure for their treatment. At the same time, in certain segments of the legal regulation of services, possible changes are allowed in order to expand the presence of foreign suppliers on the Russian market.
