If you have previously purchased all of Russia”s Belarus oil at preferential rates, then with 1 January 2010 will pay 100%-ing a fee-for-oil for processing and export to other countries. In this case Russia will export to Belarus without duties that oil, which is intended for domestic consumption in Belarus. Price question - approximately $ 2.5 billion
Russia won in the oil dispute with Belarus, signed a lucrative agreement for themselves the conditions of Russia”s oil deliveries to Belarus. The dispute about a month ago in connection with the expiry of the agreement on preferential supply of raw materials in Belarus in 2007-2009.
After the oil war in 2007, during which Belarus blocked Russia”s oil exports to the European Union, signed an agreement under which Belarus pays only 35,6% of Russia”s export tariffs (around $ 80 per ton). Getting crude oil at a discounted price, Belarus has exported crude oil or oil products to European countries at world market prices, which brought about a third of all revenues from the export of Belarus. Only a quarter of the oil supplied from Russia processed Belarusian oil refineries for domestic consumption.
Minsk was interested in maintaining the tariffs. Presidents of Belarus and Russia, Dmitry Medvedev and Alexander Lukashenko in December asked the specialized officials to consider maintaining in 2010 the prices of oil, which fuel is supplied to Belarus in 2009, however, negotiations broke suddenly in charge of TAC”s Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin by attaching an Energy Ministry, which is required to maximize fees. Sam Sechin led negotiators from Russia”s side.
Russia was ready to supply for domestic needs of Belarus 6,3 million tons of general duty free, but insisted on full payment of the remaining 15 million tons of Belarusian authorities protested. Minsk threatened in case of default of its requirements to raise the price of oil transit from $ 3.9 to $ 45 per ton, while in transit through Belarus to Europe delivered nearly 60 million tons of Russia”s oil. Also from Minsk were subjected to threats to cut off supplies of electricity to Kaliningrad. However, the Belarusians gradually handed over his position, resigned to the fact that preferential tariffs will be no more, and only begged in Moscow increased duty-free oil: up to 9 million tons annually.
Following difficult negotiations, the First Vice-Premier of Belarus Vladimir Semashko said that shipments are not dutiable Russia”s oil in 2010 will amount to 6,3 million tons “We were able to prove that the domestic needs of Belarus in oil are not 5 million tons and 6.3 million tonnes excluding domestic oil production “, - he tried to hide its defeat.
Belarusians have made several concessions. At the end of 2010 the volume of duty-free oil will increase in proportion to the actual rate of GDP growth on October 1, 2010 The Belarusian government argues that in 2010 the Belarusian economy in 2010 should increase by 11-13%. Will be imported free of duty and the amount of raw materials, which after processing at Belarusian refineries return to Russia in the form of oil, while half (about 11 million tons) of all crude oil processed in Belarus (21.4 million tons in 2009) comes from Russia. In addition, the tariff for transit of Russia”s oil through Belarus would be increased compared with 2009 by 11% - to $ 4.5 per ton.
According to calculations by Bank of Moscow analyst Denis Borisov, a full waiver of privileges for Belarus would bring Russia”s budget of $ 6.1 billion would be taken if the conditions of Minsk, Russia”s losses would have exceeded $ 4 billion Based on the current agreement, Russia”s budget would wipe about $ 1 , 5 billion at current oil prices. So, as a result of a new oil agreement with Belarus, Russia has retained $ 2.5 billion
pressure from Moscow to Minsk, some observers linked to Russia”s desire to accelerate the privatization of Belarusian enterprises, including Naftan-Polimir, which claimed to Rosneft. It is noteworthy that the board of directors of Rosneft is headed by Mr Sechin, which some media have been compared to Darth Vader. After the talks, Igor Sechin, looked the winner, and told the president of Russia Dmitry Medvedev that the agreement “fully guarantee the interests and the interests of Russian companies involved in the supply. Sechin so eager to sign an agreement that he was not too lazy to stretch across the table to give the head of the Belarusian delegation handle. Vladimir Semashko said that he has a pen and his own, and signed the document.
