Cotton dependence is more profitable than freedom

Thus, the Uzbek government last year eagerly hung out Russia with cotton for very large amounts and for a long time. But that's not all.

The cotton dependence of Russia on Uzbekistan opens up good opportunities for frank embezzlement and various kinds of speculation. An example of this is the story called “Cotton Delo-2”, the “heroes” of which managed to earn millions of dollars in 1994 on export operations with a cotton fiber. Within the framework of the intergovernmental agreement, the supply of cotton from Uzbekistan to Russia is carried out on the so -called clearing basis, which is essentially a kind of interstate barter. The trade scheme is as follows: on behalf of the government, the Roskontrakt Corporation purchases goods from domestic manufacturers (usually forest, oil, etc.) at domestic prices. In turn, the Uzbek partner also acquires a cotton in the domestic market at domestic markets. Then there is an exchange of goods according to agreed lists and a balanced (in dollars) world prices. Thanks to the cunning trade scheme, cotton goes to the Rosconticlt Corporation and textile enterprises at prices a third lower than the Mirossian textile workers like the same. Enterprises, in turn, are completely satisfied with the re -registration. Perhaps the cotton gives interest to some petty commercials is due to a very pragmatic structure that sends it in considerations. Import of cotton from countries exports at world prices. How a random profit is being subjected to referred to the suburban abroad, you can only guess.

VAT, which makes Uzbek cotton for a third export operations with cotton took cheaper than the world. However, even if the tax is such a scale that in 1994 Russia entered and will be removed, imported customs remains the number of world's largest exporters, from which the cotton no one, having pushed them with Austria markets, is great to work out. In this regard, Britain, Germany, stands. To understand what to remind you that Uzbekistan not so long ago prying could earn the participants of this opse this wishes to join the customs radio, it is enough to bring several union, which means the abolition of all kinds of imported numbers. In the first half of 1994, duties in mutual trade. So, the supply of cotton exports from Russia made the RAV on the cancellation of VAT, Uzbek cotton won126 thousand tons (by intergovernmental, it damps 320 thousand tons on the possible removal of customs agreement): during duties.

This is the world's price of cotton in 1994, it should also be forgotten that Uzbekistan entered $ 1,400 /t, and the corporation “luxurious more accommodating foreign arbitrariness” sold to textile enterprises of Det need. For example, last year there is a supplier of 1000 dollars/t.

Ki cotton by an intergovernmental agreement began in April, and to pay to whom it is beneficial?

Russia was able to fully for the purchased goods only in October (by July of the past, the current cotton trading scheme of the maximum of Russia's duty to Uzbekistan is conveniently convenient for all its participants. Textile cotton amounted to over $ 100 million). Enterprises are extracted by additional theoretically textile enterprises, which profit from the actual state corporal are required to receive cotton, the waste of cotton operations, the “luxury” is required to be read with the Russian company, and is carried out by decent state-owned money for the extraction of raw materials based on the intergovernment of trade and customs operations. Telic agreement. However, only the state budget signs, as much as the birch company does not have a non-reader of billions of rubles with the necessary warehouses, due to subsidies to enterprises and outright cotton, it is sent directly to textiles. In the meantime, Uzbekistan, in the meantime, is the so -called "responding to the opportunity to provide economic storage." And the directors of many are the pressure on Russia, periodically pre -enterprises, without thinking twice, launching the disgusting supply of cotton fiber.
