Dear Friends!
The presence and position of European companies in Russian and Russian companies in Europe is constantly increasing.
In May 2004, 'Europe' enlarged from fifteen to twenty-five member states and now shares borders with Russia. Bearing in mind that the European Union (EU) constitutes over 60% of Russia's trade and that EU imports have doubled since 1995, it is evident that cooperation and understanding between Russia and Europe has fundamentally improved. The European Union's support of Russia's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) has paved the way for the resolution of many of the traditional areas of dispute.
'Business in Russia' has also taken great steps forward. In an increasingly successful effort to become an integral part of the European trade and business turnover, Russia has achieved a level of progress in one year that would be feasible for most emerging markets only over a period of many years. Russia's recent legislative developments, banking reform and the new Customs Code being notable highlights, have constituted a major contribution to a more stable investment climate for Europeans.
Thus, with the essential conditions for doing business in Russia and Europe already in place, the future looks bright. Nevertheless, the Russian European Chamber of Commerce continue to actively work to further improve our business environment.
The Russian European Chamber of Commerce is a business association, which today not only adapts to, but also shapes the business environment of which we are all a part. We seek constructive solutions to trade and investment problems, which protect and promote the legitimate common economic interests of our member companies. We do so with integrity and respect operating in host countries.
Our mission is to promote the development of commercial relations between the Russian Federation, EU and the international community
The Chamber's most important assets are its members. They are our clients, our workforce and our strength. We inviting your organization to join our exiting international business network!
Truly yours,
Dr. Sergey Shuklin
President of RusCham
