AZERBAIJAN TO JOIN WTO AS DEVELOPING COUNTRY


20 February 2009
TURAN

The Deputy Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan, Mahmud Mammadguliyev said Azerbaijan has no clear aim of joining the World Trade Organization on some concrete date. “The aim is to join WTO profitably and reasonably for Azerbaijan’s producers of goods and services,” he said during the Caspian European Integration Business Club in Baku on February 20.

Azerbaijan plans to join WTO as developing country. This will let subsidize the national agriculture at 10% of the gross agricultural product. Azerbaijan also intends to argue about the customs importation duties on goods most sensitive for the local producers.

The multilateral talks about Azerbaijan’s joining WTO could finish this year.
