Shifting the center of gravity of foreign economic activity regulation from administrative to economic methods;

A clear delineation of the rights and responsibilities of the Federation and its subjects in the field of foreign economic activity management;

Ensuring equality of all participants in foreign economic activity.

Of particular importance today is a clear delineation of the competence of the Federation and its subjects in the field of foreign economic activity. The competence of the federal bodies should continue to remain the solution of such important issues as:

Determination of the basic principles for the implementation of foreign economic activity and foreign economic policy of Russia as a whole;

Development and implementation of interregional and regional programs of foreign economic activity;

Methods of state regulation of foreign economic activity.

By their nature, the methods of state regulation of foreign economic activity are divided into tariff methods - those based on the use of a customs tariff, and non-tariff - all other methods. Non-tariff regulation methods are subdivided into quantitative methods and methods of hidden protectionism. Certain instruments of state regulation of foreign economic activity are more often used when it is necessary to either restrict imports or force exports 11.

Administrative methods. An administrative method of regulation is understood as a system of organizational, legal and special measures: quantitative restrictions, distribution of quotas and licenses, export control in relation to certain types of goods, the establishment of a state monopoly on exports and (or) imports certain types goods. In order to regulate foreign economic activity, the authorities government controlled issue acts legal regulation the relationship of counterparties, joint stock laws, customs codes, decrees obliging importers and exporters, on the basis of their execution, to comply with the interests of states interacting in the foreign market.

International trade agreements... They determine the general ways of developing economic relations between states, establish a trade, economic, political regime of interaction, provide for the terms of mutual settlements, terms of cooperation, etc. Long-term agreements - 5-10 years or more - on trade and others can be fixed in contracts. forms of interaction. It is also practiced to conclude annual protocols on mutual deliveries of goods. Agreements and protocols, complementing each other, contribute to the development of sustainable mutually beneficial cooperation.

Customs formalities. They are based on the customs code approved by the legislature. The customs code is created in accordance with the customs policy of the state 12. He defines common tasks and the functions of customs authorities, the procedure for the development, approval and use of tariffs, the conditions for exemption from payment of duties, sanctions for violation customs regulations, the procedure for considering complaints. Customs formalities are one of the most effective methods of foreign economic activity regulation 13.

Contingency and licensing. Contingentation of exports and imports is quantitative or value restrictions on exports and imports, imposed for a certain period of time for certain goods and services, countries and groups of countries.

Licensing is a system of written permits issued by government agencies for the export and import of goods. Licensing is applied for certain periods of time for individual goods included in the list of products for national purposes. Contingency is carried out by establishing a regime for issuing individual licenses, while the total volume of export (import) for these licenses should not exceed the established quota. The following types of export (import) quotas (contingents) are used: global, group, individual. For each type of product, only one type of quota is established.

Anti-dumping procedures. They represent judicial and administrative proceedings against foreign suppliers by domestic entrepreneurs, accusing them of selling goods at lower prices that could harm local manufacturers of similar products. The authorities and the courts are obliged to suspend the movement of goods accused of dumping and to investigate the merits of the claims.

Price preferences. They are established by law by some countries by determining the minimum difference in prices at which goods and services of the importer must be lower than the prices of national producers. For example, US energy companies have the right to place orders for imported equipment only if prices for it are at least 6% lower than those of US manufacturers.

Technical procedures. They are established by law government organizations and represent a set of measures to verify the compliance of imported products with the requirements of international and national standards, industry norms and technical regulations.

One of the types of technical barriers is the requirement for certification of products, goods imported into the country. For this, they are tested in specialized laboratories for the compliance of their properties with the requirements of standards for technical, sanitary, technological, traditional indicators 15.

Import procedures. These are the rules for conducting import transactions in public procurement. In many countries, in these cases, the buyer must conduct an international auction in order to find out the most profitable seller. Sometimes a buyer is only issued a license if he has met the requirements for counter export transactions.

5. Execution of foreign letters rogatory .

A letter rogatory is an appeal by a court of one state to a court of another state with a request to carry out any procedural actions on the territory of that state. The execution of foreign letters rogatory means:

· Preparation, certification, forwarding, delivery of documents;

· Provision of material evidence;

· Interrogation of witnesses, experts, other persons for the purposes of legal proceedings;

· Communication of information about the current law, etc.

The execution of such assignments is based on the provisions of international treaties and national legislation. Continental law establishes a general procedure - letters rogatory are transmitted by diplomatic means, unless otherwise provided by an international treaty. Arbitrage practice - legal assistance is provided on a reciprocal basis. When executing an order, the civil procedural law of the state of the place of execution of the order is used. Orders aimed at performing procedural actions prohibited by the law of the state executing the order are not executed. The procedure and conditions for the execution of orders are mainly established not in the law, but in the rules and instructions of the ministries of justice. Missing in Anglo-American law general concept legal aid. The institution of special commissioners (commission agents) is widely used. The possibility of direct communication between the courts when requesting the execution of the order is provided. In the legislation of the Russian Federation, the general procedure for the execution of foreign letters rogatory is established in Art. 407 Code of Civil Procedure of R and Art. 256 of the APC RF. In the absence of an international treaty, legal assistance may be provided in the manner and on conditions of international courtesy. There is no requirement of reciprocity. The diplomatic route is the primary mode of transmission of letters rogatory. General rule: the procedure for executing the order of a foreign court on the territory of the Russian Federation is governed by Russian law. Modern trend: at the request of a foreign state, it is possible to execute the order using its procedural law.

The Letter of Order and the documents attached to it should be sent in the language of the requested State. When executing an order, taking into account the procedural nature of these actions, the requested authorities apply the legislation of their state. Refusal to perform certain procedural actions is possible if: a) the execution of the order damages the sovereignty of the Russian Federation; b) the execution of the order is not within the competence of the court (Article 407 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation).

6. The norms of the international private sector. Concept, structures and classification of conflict of laws rules .

In the MChP under the count. The norm is a rule of conduct that establishes the law of which state should be. applied to this particular legal relationship, complicated by a foreign element. Qty. A norm is a norm of a general, abstract, referential nature, it does not contain a material model of behavior, does not directly establish the rights and obligations of the parties, they only indicate the competent order of a competent issue. Actual application count. norms are possible only with the application of the national system of the country to which it refers. But this is not a purely technical device; it is an important point in cooperation between different states. It is the count. The norms authorize the application of the norms of foreign law on the territory of the state. 2 functions: regulatory and delimiting. Regulatory - in the ability of the number of norms to serve as the basis for the application of substantive norms of foreign law. Qty. the rule of the state is the instrument with which the legislator makes the foreign law valid on its territory. Delimiting function - they establish the limits of the application of the law of a particular state. Col. norm resolves the conflict only between national legal orders, therefore, those that refer to the provisions of international treaties are not recognized as conflicting. (Article 15 of the K-i, Article 7 of the Civil Code - if the contract provides otherwise than the law of the Russian Federation - the rule of the contract applies).

Structure. Differs from usual. 2 parts: volume and binding. The volume of the number of norms determines the type of legal relationship to which it should be applied. Anchor - indicates the legal system or legislation in force in this case. Example: Art. 1197. Legal capacity of individuals - the volume is determined by his personal law - binding. Simple and complex. The structure is simple - one volume and one binding. 1112. Difficult - somewhat of one or the other. 1221. The binding is an abstract character, refers not to a specific legal act, but to the legal system as a whole, that is, to the entire legal order of the entire state. Feature modern development bindings - rejection of rigid conflict of laws rules, which are based on one criterion for the choice of law - a system of interrelated conflict of laws rules is used to select a law. Application of flexible rules. Multiple number of bindings - splitting, alternative, cumulation.

Cumulation - when the quota rate is formulated taking into account the legislation of two or more states. 156 SK.

Splitting - when the legal relationship as a whole is subject to one legal order, and its individual issues - to another.

7. Grounds for the application of foreign law. The procedure for the courts to establish the content of a foreign legal norm.

three fundamental provisions that determine the basis for the application of foreign law.

1. On the territory of a given state, foreign law can be applied only if there are direct prescriptions about this from national law. Such prescriptions are established by national conflict of laws rules, and not by any, but bilateral ones. Thanks to bilateral conflict of laws rules, a conflict of law can be resolved both in favor of one's own, domestic law, and foreign. The conflict of laws rule is legally binding on all bodies and officials state, and if it refers to foreign law, then it should be applied by all bodies and officials by virtue of a legally binding prescription of a conflict of laws rule. A conflict of laws rule is a legal basis for the application of foreign law on the territory of a given state. Conflict law in general is a bridge linking the national legal system with foreign law.

2. National law provides general principles, on which the application of foreign law is based, the methods of establishing its content, the procedure for the application of foreign law, as well as the limits of its application.

3. The application of foreign law is also carried out in accordance with generally recognized principles international law... The bases for the application of foreign law are determined by such principles of international law as the sovereign equality of states, self-determination, non-interference in internal affairs. In accordance with these principles, states are obliged to respect each other's right to freely determine their political and legal system and not interfere with its functioning. The right of a state to make and apply laws is one of its sovereign rights that must be respected by other states. Law enforcement authorities must respect the applicable foreign law, its peculiarities, so that the provisions of foreign law are implemented with the utmost care. Respect for foreign law stems from the principle of the sovereign equality of states.

The appearance on foreign markets of Russian business people, often poorly trained professionally, little familiar with the state regulation of foreign economic activity, often leads to unforeseen results. Therefore, it is so important for individuals and legal entities to know all the subtleties of state regulation of this type of business. The objective of this work is to get acquainted with the state regulation of foreign economic activity and, most importantly, with the principles of state regulation of foreign economic activity, disclosure of their methods and features.
As you know, a qualified foreign trade participant must not only see the current state of affairs, but also understand in which direction the processes are going in order to correctly solve strategic tasks. The role of the state, its bodies and structures in the development of the organizational system of regulation and stimulation of foreign economic activity is considered.

1. Goals and principles of state regulation of foreign economic activity.

The main goals of state regulation of foreign economic activity are as follows:

Using foreign economic relations to accelerate the creation of

A Russian market economy;

Assistance in increasing labor productivity and the quality of national products by acquiring licenses and patents, purchasing new technologies, high-quality components, raw materials and materials, including Russian enterprises in global competition;

Creation of conditions for access of Russian entrepreneurs to world

markets through the provision of state, organizational, financial, information assistance;

Protection of national foreign economic interests, protection

domestic market;

Creating and maintaining a favorable international regime during

The main principles of state regulation of foreign trade are:
1) protection by the state of the rights and legitimate interests of participants in foreign trade activities, as well as the rights and legitimate interests of Russian producers and consumers of goods and services;
2) equality and non-discrimination of participants in foreign trade activity, unless otherwise provided by federal law;
3) the unity of the customs territory of the Russian Federation;

12) the unity of the system of state regulation of foreign trade activities;
13) the unity of the application of methods of state regulation of foreign trade activities throughout the territory of the Russian Federation.

2. Features of the principles of state regulation of foreign economic activity.

The principles are the starting points in the mechanism of government regulation. They guarantee the continuity and consistency of the rule-making process, ensure the relationship between foreign trade legislation and foreign trade policy. Principles play a special role in shaping judicial and administrative practice. They also contribute to the abolition of outdated and the adoption of new legal norms, the interpretation of legal acts and the elimination of gaps in legislation, etc. Among the principles of state regulation of foreign trade activities, general (respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, legality, federalism, legal equality and judicial protection of subjective rights, etc.) and special ones are distinguished. The latter found their consolidation in Article 4 of the Federal Law "On the Foundations of State Regulation of Foreign Trade Activity".

2.1. Ensuring the fulfillment of the obligations of the Russian Federation under international treaties of the Russian Federation and the exercise of the rights of the Russian Federation arising from these treaties;

Foreign trade policy is part of foreign policy - the general course of the state in international affairs. Foreign trade policy is subordinated to the goals and requirements of the state's foreign policy and cannot contradict them. This presupposes the need to coordinate specific decisions in the field of foreign trade with the general guidelines of foreign policy. Foreign policy interests can overshadow the arguments of the economic efficiency of a specific foreign trade deal. For example, the accession of the Russian Federation to international sanctions against any state entails an immediate cessation of foreign trade operations with this country, no matter how beneficial they may be.

2.2. Unity of the system of state regulation of foreign trade activity.

The unity of the system of state regulation of foreign trade activity is due to a number of factors, among which, first of all, it should be mentioned:

- the unity of the foreign trade policy of the Russian Federation;
- attribution to the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation of the following areas of activity: establishment legal framework single market; financial, currency, credit, customs regulation, money issue, the basics of pricing policy; federal economic services, including federal banks, etc. ;

    Organization of non-state regulation of foreign economic activity.

    Customs-tariff and non-tariff methods of foreign economic activity regulation.

    Methods to stimulate export production.

1. Objectives, principles of foreign economic activity regulation.

Legal regulation of foreign economic activity is a set of normative acts within the framework and on the basis of which its practice is carried out. This set is represented by:

international rules and regulations signed by the Russian Federation, international treaties between Russia and other countries:

national legislation on foreign economic activity, represented by laws, codes, as well as by-laws.

The creation of a system of legal regulation of foreign economic activity is a long process that bears the imprint of the development of both the national economy and the international obligations of the Russian Federation.

To the laws governing Foreign trade activities include the following: "On state regulation of foreign trade activities": "On foreign exchange regulation and foreign exchange control"; “On the customs tariff”; “On foreign investments”; "Customs Code of the Russian Federation".

The main objectives of the national legislation on foreign economic activity:

Use of WPPs as a tool to accelerate the development of the domestic economy and increase its competitiveness in the global and domestic markets (licenses, patents, new technologies, knowledge);

Assisting exporters in entering the world market and protecting their interests at the local level (organizational, financial, informational);

Creation and maintenance of a favorable regime of cooperation with international organizations and states.

Basic principles:

Unity of foreign economic and domestic economic policy;

The unity of government systems and not court. regulation and control over its implementation;

The priority of economic methods of regulation. Foreign economic activity over administrative;

A clear delineation of the rights and responsibilities of the Federation and its subjects in the management of foreign economic activity;

Ensuring equality of all participants in foreign economic activity.

The Constitution of the Russian Federation establishes general provisions for the delineation of powers between the Federation and the Subjects of the Federation. In accordance with article 71 (clauses "k", "l") "foreign policy and international relations of the Russian Federation, international treaties of the Russian Federation; issues of war and peace", "foreign economic relations of the Russian Federation" are under the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation. The joint jurisdiction of the Federation and the constituent entities includes: "coordination of international and foreign economic relations of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, implementation of international treaties of the Russian Federation" (clause "on" part 1 of Article 72).

Subjects of the Federation

The competence of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation is determined in accordance with Articles 71, 72 and 73 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, federal constitutional laws and federal laws, agreements on the delimitation of jurisdictions and powers between the Russian Federation and its constituent entities, agreements on the delimitation of powers in the field of foreign economic relations, which are concluded by the Government of the Russian Federation with the government of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

The state authorities of the region conclude agreements in the spheres of trade, economic and scientific and technical cooperation, in the field of culture, sports and education, health care, tourism, resort business and other areas within the competence of the region.

It should be noted that usually the agreements of the subjects of the Federation with foreign partners are of a "framework" nature. Such agreements define the directions and principles of cooperation. No specific obligations arise from such agreements. Moreover, these agreements provide that for their implementation, contracts will be concluded between legal entities and / or citizens of both parties.

As for the agreements that are concluded by the subject of the Federation as a subject of public authority in order to establish principles of cooperation with a foreign partner on certain issues, then private international law is not applicable to such agreements. The procedure for concluding, changing, executing and terminating these agreements of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation with foreign partners should be governed by federal legislation and the legislation of the constituent entities of the Federation adopted in accordance with it on agreements of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation with subjects of foreign federal states, administrative-territorial entities of foreign states.

If an agreement with a foreign partner is concluded by a constituent entity of the Federation regarding property relations and a specific obligation arises from such an agreement (for example, to transfer any property), then the responsibility for this obligation should be borne by the constituent entity of the Federation, based on the provisions of Chapter 5 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. The Russian Federation is not liable for such obligations of its subject, except for cases when the Russian Federation has assumed a guarantee (surety) for its obligations.

If the subject of the Russian Federation, concluding an agreement with a foreign partner, violates the norms of international law, international legal obligations of the Russian Federation, then the international legal responsibility for such actions of the subject of the Russian Federation will be borne by the Russian Federation as a subject of international law.
