According to the President Viktor Yushchenko's Court found unconstitutional the powers enshrined in the law № 923-VI dated February 4, taken with a view to improving the balance of payments in Ukraine. The main argument of the COP - the Verkhovna Rada had no right to delegate to the Cabinet of Ministers of their powers to determine the mechanisms regulating the import rates, as it violates the constitutional principle of separation of state power. COP Decision came into force on 23 June.

Cabinet once used to regulate the fee. From March 7 to address the parliament Gostamozhnya start to charge the goods uncritically import 13% of their customs value. After just two weeks allowance to the Cabinet of Ministers abolished duties on all goods, except motor vehicles and refrigerators. Minchenko sure that the decision of the COP does not affect the customs rates on imports of these commodities.

Managing partner of law firm Astapov Lawyers Andrei Astapov sure that the decision to return the payment of COP 13 per cent allowance for the customs duties on the entire list of products. The subsequent decision of the Cabinet of losing power, and the legal situation is returning to the time of the adoption of this law, - noted Mr Astapov. The press service Gostamozhni yesterday were unable to say what changes the customs duties caused a decision by the COP, however, assured that the department complies with all legal requirements.
six-month duration of the allowance to the duties of 13% will expire on September 7. The return of more than two months, apparently, will protest the participating countries the World Trade Organization (WTO). As it became known, the WTO Committee on restrictions imposed in the interest of balance of payments, yesterday called on Kiev to lift restrictions on imports of refrigerators and cars, as well as tariffs on these two groups exceeded the limit of 63 items. Representatives of Ukraine explained that this measure need to restore the balance of payments equilibrium to confront shocks and mitigate the risks of negative trends. But the representative of the IMF did not consider the situation critical, saying that Ukraine is not in compliance with the ban on the import restrictions set by the IMF program. Fund demanded immediate to lift these restrictions. Accusing Ukraine to protect national production, the representative of the EU demanded the abolition of the allowance prior to September 7. The Committee's decision will be sent to the WTO General Council. Against import restrictions were, and the U.S..
prevent international scandal can only Verkhovna Rada, which is June 23, received a monopoly on change in tariff policy and the abolition of the allowance. The success of such a vote depends on whether the Government will be able to build a faction. In any case, we would support such a change - has assured the people's deputy Kseniya Lyapina (Our Ukraine-People's Self-Defense). It will not be easy - feels people's deputy Natalia King (BYuT) .- But we will do our best. We can not allow the foreign markets have closed in response to our products.
