Kremlin welcomes Minsk’s court suit against Russia’s export duty, report says

Moscow welcomes Minsk’s move to file a suit with the CIS Economic Court over the customs duty applied by Russia to exports of petrochemical products and “petrochemical raw materials” to Belarus, the newspaper Vremya Novostei said on Friday with reference to a source in the Kremlin.

“This is a good example showing that interstate issues should be settled in a civilized way rather than by pressure or with the help of smear campaigns,” the newspaper quoted the source as saying.

The head of the CIS Economic Court’s secretariat told BelaPAN that the Court had received the suit.
