We welcome CU establishment under condition of trade liberalization: Norbert Jousten

According to him, to date there is no such liberalization in Kazakhstan. "Under establishment of the Customs Union the import duties for all types of goods were increased essentially. New rules for licensing caused confusion for economic operators. New problems may arise in the protection of intellectual property. Being a big trade partner of Kazakhstan we suffer from these changes", N.Jousten said. According to him, it is necessary to resolve all these problems as soon as possible.

The Head of the delegation noted that he supported the Kazakhstan's accession to the WTO. "WTO is a powerful global organization and accession to it provides countries with an opportunity to become a part of single world economic space, in this regard the country needs to accelerate the accession process", N.Jousten said.
