Russia is prepared to even out tariffs on the transit of Russian and foreign products through its territory, Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Naryshkin said at the meeting of the governmental commission on economic integration Thursday, RBC reports. He pointed out that the matter of railroad tariffs was one of the major issues in Russia's talks on its accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO). Naryshkin added that Russia's European partners had to take into account the fact that Moscow would need some time to make the necessary changes in tariffs.
Naryshkin said that Russia and the EU were in talks on the modernization of fees on flights on Trans-Siberia air routes. He also pointed out a lack of cooperation between Russia and the EU due to some technical problems. These are a result of the failure of Polish authorities to cooperate with Russian during recent controversy over meat safety in Poland.
