A source told RIA VladNews, claims the EU touched utilization fee on imported cars in the Russian Federation. According to the deputy director of the Department of Trade Negotiations Catherine Maiorova Russian Ministry of Economic Development, the agency is aware of the intention of the EU to initiate proceedings with Russia. However, official documents to initiate the dispute resolution procedures have been reported yet. It all started when I was introduced recycling for importers.

Liabilities for recycling of old cars will gladly took the «AvtoVAZ», OJSC «KAMAZ», group «GAS» and Sollers. Trying to support the domestic auto industry immediately sparked a counter-backlash: the European Union has accused Russia of discrimination. Then the Russian authorities announced that the decision will be changed to July 12013. Planned amendments to the law «On Production and Consumption» should align conditions for domestic and foreign manufacturers, but it did not happen «We gave Russia time before July 1 the fact that cancel recycling, but Russia did not. Therefore, we refer the matter to the WTO «, — said a European diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity.

However, if the court can be avoided, increasing the price of domestic cars is inevitable as recycling, which is about 20 thousand rubles apiece, will be included in the cost of the car. According to «Rossiyskaya Gazeta», has calculated that the annual income of the treasury, in the case of the introduction of universal collection to increase from 50 to 202.5 billion rubles.
