US senator demands easing of Russian assembly rules
Debbie Stabenau, a Michigan senator has written to Ron Kirk, presidential representative in international trade negotiations, and asked him to demand from Russia the removal of trade barriers against American cars before Russia is allowed to enter the Word Trade Organisation.
T
he senator says: “Moscow’s unjust policy reduces the volume of exports of American cars to Russia.” According to Ms. Stabenau, Moscow should not be allowed to maintain protectionist measures in relation to their automakers during Russian negotiations to enter the WTO. She says that were Russia already a member of the WTO such rules would be illegal. That is why, she says, the demand should be made for the cancelation of the measures during the negotiation
regarding Russia’s entry to the WTO. Prime minister Vladimir Putin has already said previously that Russia does not intend to cancel the second set of conditions
on industrial assembly in exchange for entry to the WTO. The European Commission has also expressed its annoyance with the tougher industrial assembly rules that have come into force in Russia since February. “We continue our not simple dialogue with the European Commission and our American partners in the process of our
assessment for entry to the WTO. They insist on our cancellation of two requirements: production of 300,000 cars per year and localisation up to 60%. We answered that our position in these points remains unchanged; it is a red line that will not be overstepped as a trade-off of the interests of our automakers”, announced the head of the Russian Government.
Anchor rail fasteners shorten travel time
In autumn the passengers of Kursk will have an opportunity to come to Moscow by train for 5 hours, made possible by the introduction of new rail anchor fasteners.
P
assenger trains will be able to travel at up to 160kph, announced Sergey Vorobyev, the chief engineer of the Kursk Part of the Russian Railways, compared with the former 110kph. New rails are fastened to the cross sleepers, not with traditional bolts but with new anchor rail fasteners (ARF), which means fastener replacement need only take place every five years. The work will be finished by 1st
November, underlined Mr. Vorobyev. Then all freight and passenger trains will be able to 1 7147A Advert

travel as scheduled, in spite of extensive repair work. Later this part of the railway will be able to use new types of trains, but this cannot happen until track stabilisation work is completed on the entire rail stretch from Belgorod to Moscow.
