Article 3 Specific subsidies

1. In order to determine whether a subsidy is specific to an industrial enterprise or industry or a group of industrial enterprises or industries (hereinafter referred to in this Agreement as certain enterprises) within the territory in which the subsidizing authority has authority, the following principles apply:

1.1. if the subsidizing authority or the legal act under which the subsidizing authority operates clearly restricts access to subsidies only for certain enterprises, such a subsidy is considered specific, provided that the group of industrial enterprises or a group of industries does not include all industrial enterprises or industries in the territory of the state of the subsidizing authority.;

1.2. If the subsidizing authority or the legal act under which the subsidizing authority operates establishes objective criteria or conditions2 that determine the right to receive and the amount of subsidies, specificity does not exist provided that the right to receive is automatic and that such criteria and conditions are strictly met. The criteria and conditions should be clearly specified in a law, instruction, legal act or other official documents in such a way that they can be verified.;

1.3. If, despite the appearance of non-specificity resulting from the application of the principles set out in sub-paragraphs 1.1 and 1.2, there are grounds to believe that the subsidy may actually be specific, then other factors may be taken into account. These factors include:

the use of subsidies limited to a certain number of enterprises,

preferential use of subsidies by certain enterprises,

providing disproportionately large amounts of subsidies to some businesses,

as well as a way to use the discreteness possessed by the subsidizing authority when deciding whether to grant a subsidy.3

When applying this subparagraph, it is necessary to take into account the degree of diversification of economic activity within the territory in which the subsidizing body has authority, as well as the length of time during which such a subsidy is valid.

2. A subsidy, the use of which is limited to certain enterprises located in a designated geographical region, which is part of the territory within which the subsidizing authority has authority, is specific. It is understood that the introduction or modification by a government agency of the State of the Party of tax rates applicable within the entire territory in which it has authority is not considered as a specific subsidy.

3. Any subsidy falling under the provisions of Article 4 of this Agreement shall be considered as specific.

4. The establishment of the fact of specificity in accordance with the provisions of this article should be based on evidence of the specificity of the subsidy.

_____________________________________________________________________

2 In this context, objective criteria and conditions mean criteria that are neutral, do not create advantages for some enterprises over others, are economic in nature and horizontal in application, such as the number of employees or the size of enterprises.

3 In this regard, information on the frequency of refusals or approvals of subsidy applications and the reasons for the relevant decisions should be taken into account, in particular.

Article 4 Prohibited subsidies

1. The following types of subsidies are prohibited:

1.1. export subsidies - subsidies, the provision of which is linked,4 as the only or one of several conditions, with the results of the export of goods from the territory of the state of the Party providing this subsidy to the territory of the state of any other Party;

3.4. the importation by an economic entity of goods from the territory of the state of any of the Parties used in its local production or related to it, by restricting the access of the economic entity to the currency of the state of any of the Parties by the volume of receipts of this currency due to the enterprise;

3.5. the export by an economic entity of goods to the territory of the state of either Party or the sale by an economic entity of goods on the territory of the state of either Party, depending either on the specification of the goods, their volume or value, or on the proportion of the volume or value of local production carried out by this economic entity.

4. Specific subsidies are prohibited, the provision of which leads to a serious infringement of the interests of either Party. A serious infringement of the interests of a Party occurs when the result of the provision of a specific subsidy is:

4.2. displacement of a similar product from the market of a third-party state or curbing the growth of exports of similar goods originating from the territory of the state of either Party to the territory of the state of the third Party;

4.3. significant underestimation of the price of a product, during production, transportation or export from the territory of the state of the subsidizing Party of which a specific subsidy was used, relative to the price of a similar product originating from the territory of the state of the other Party, in the same market of the state of either Party, or significant price restraint, falling prices or lost sales in the same market.

The competent authorities of the States of the Parties have the right to request the necessary information on the progress of the investigation.

2. If, as a result of the investigation, the competent authority determines that the subsidizing authority of the State of the other Party provides a specific subsidy and this specific subsidy harms the branch of the national economy of the State of the Party whose competent authority is conducting the investigation, it may submit to such a Party an application for the introduction of a compensatory measure. The application for the introduction of a compensatory measure must contain a statement of the available evidence of the incompatibility of the subsidy with the provisions of this Agreement.

3. From the date of entry into force of the Protocol, if the competent authority, as a result of an investigation, determines that the subsidizing authority of the other Party provides a specific subsidy that has not been approved by the Customs Union Commission, it may submit to such a Party an application for the introduction of a compensatory measure.

If a Party fails to comply with a satisfied request for a compensatory measure within the prescribed period, the requesting Party has the right to initiate a dispute resolution procedure in accordance with the provisions of Article 10 of this Agreement in order to apply retaliatory measures that should be approximately proportional to the compensatory measure.

For the purposes of this Agreement, retaliatory measures are understood to mean the temporary suspension of the fulfillment by the Party that introduces the retaliatory measure of its obligations towards the Party against whom the retaliatory measure is imposed, arising from trade and economic agreements in force between them, with the exception of those related to the oil and gas industries.

The scope, proportionality and duration of retaliatory measures are determined based on the results of the dispute resolution procedure in accordance with the provisions of Article 10 of this Agreement. At the same time, all the terms of such a dispute resolution procedure will be half of the terms prescribed in Article 10 of this Agreement.

13. The competent authorities of the Parties shall conduct an investigation into the compliance of subsidies provided in the territory of the States of other Parties with the provisions of this Agreement and an investigation into the compliance of the measures specified in paragraph 3 of Article 4 of this Agreement with the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with the procedure set out in Annex 2 to this Agreement.

Appendix 1 to the Agreement on Common Rules for the Provision of Industrial Subsidies

Illustrative list of* prohibited subsidies

1. Programs that exempt the exporter** from the mandatory sale of a portion of foreign exchange earnings to the state or allow the use of multiple exchange rates through partial depreciation of the national currency, in connection with which the exporter gains an advantage due to the exchange rate difference.

2. Domestic transport and freight tariffs for export shipments, which are set or levied by the state on terms more favorable than transportation on the domestic market.***

4. Full or partial exemption from payment, granting deferral or reduction of taxes or any other deductions paid or payable by business entities related to the results of exports or the use of goods originating from the territories of the State of the Party providing these benefits. At the same time, deferral is not necessarily a prohibited subsidy if penalties for non-payment of taxes are levied. Charging VAT on exported goods at a zero rate is not a sign of a prohibited subsidy.

5. Special deductions linked to export results reduce the tax base of goods to a greater extent compared to similar goods sold on the domestic market.

6. Exemption, reduction, deferral of taxes or special deductions applied to calculate the tax base for goods and services used in the production of export goods, to a greater extent than exemption from payment, reduction, deferral of taxes or special deductions applied to calculate the tax base for goods and services used in production of similar goods sold on the domestic market.

7. Collection of customs duties on raw materials and materials used in the production of export products at rates lower than for the same raw materials and materials used in the production of similar products for consumption in the domestic market; or refund of customs duties on raw materials and materials used in the production of export products in a larger volume than for the same raw materials and supplies used in the production of similar products sold on the domestic market.

8. Reduction or refund of import duties levied on imported raw materials and materials used in the manufacture of products, if the content of domestic materials or raw materials in the manufactured products is mandatory, regardless of whether specific goods, their volume or value, or a proportion of the volume or value of their local production are determined.

9. Charging premiums that are insufficient to cover long-term operating expenses or losses under export credit guarantee or insurance programs, insurance or guarantees against an increase in the value of export goods or currency risks.

10. Provision of export credits at rates lower than those that recipients of such loans would actually have to pay for using a comparable loan (the same loan repayment period, loan currency, etc.) in market conditions, or payment of all or part of the costs incurred by exporters or financial institutions in connection with obtaining a loan. Export credit practices that comply with the interest rate provisions of the Agreement on Official Export Credits developed by the OECD member countries will not be considered as subsidies.

11. Reduction of tariffs for electricity or energy resources supplied to the enterprise, provided that such subsidies are clearly linked to the results of exports or with the use of domestic goods instead of imported ones.

2. When determining a branch of the national economy, the territory of the State of the Party whose competent authority is conducting the investigation may be considered as a territory in which two or more competing markets operate, and national producers within one of these markets may be considered as a separate branch of the national economy if such producers sell at least eighty percent of a similar product on such a market., produced by them, and the demand in such a market for a similar product is not satisfied to a large extent by the national producers of this product located in the rest of the territory of the State of the Party conducting the investigation. In such cases, damage can be established even if the main part of the national economy has not been damaged, provided that the sale of the subsidized product is concentrated in one of the specified competing markets and the import of the subsidized product causes damage to at least eighty percent of national producers of similar goods within one such market.

Article 6 Rules for calculating the amount of a specific subsidy

1. The amount of a specific subsidy is determined based on the amount of benefit received by the recipient of such subsidy. When calculating the amount of benefit of a specific subsidy, the competent authority takes into account that:

a) the participation of the subsidizing body in the capital of the organization is not considered as the provision of a specific subsidy, unless such participation can be regarded as inconsistent with normal investment practices (including the provision of risk capital) in the territory of the relevant State of the Party;

b) a loan provided by a subsidizing authority is not considered as providing a specific subsidy if there is no difference between the amount that the recipient organization pays for a government loan and the amount that it would pay for a comparable commercial loan that this organization can receive on the credit market of the relevant State of the Party. Otherwise, the difference between these amounts is considered a benefit.;

c) the guarantee of a loan by a subsidizing body is not considered as the provision of a specific subsidy if there is no difference between the amount that the organization receiving the guarantee pays for a loan guaranteed by the subsidizing body and the amount that it would pay for a comparable commercial loan without a government guarantee. Otherwise, the benefit is considered to be between these amounts, adjusted for the difference in fees.;

d) the supply of goods or services by the subsidizing authority or the purchase of goods is not considered as providing a specific subsidy, unless the goods or services are supplied for less than adequate payment or purchases are not carried out for more than adequate payment. The adequacy of payment is determined based on the existing market conditions for the purchase and sale of such goods and services in the market of the relevant State of the Party, including price, quality, availability, liquidity, transportation and other conditions for the purchase or sale of goods.

2. The amount of the subsidy is calculated per unit of goods (ton, cubic meter, piece, etc.) imported into the territory of the State of the Party whose competent authority is conducting the investigation, or sold on the market of the State of the Party in whose territory the specific subsidy is provided, or on the market of the state of a third Party.

3. When calculating the amount of the subsidy, inflation rates in the State of the relevant Party should be taken into account if the inflation rate is so high that it may distort the results obtained.

4. The amount of subsidy per unit of goods is determined based on the amount of expenses of the relevant State of the Party that provided the specific subsidy for these purposes.

5. When calculating the amount of subsidy per unit of goods, the cost of such goods is determined as the total sales value of the recipient legal entity for the 12 months preceding the receipt of the subsidy and for which the necessary data is available.

6. When calculating the amount of the subsidy, it is necessary to deduct from the total amount of the subsidy the amount of any registration fee or other expenses incurred to receive subsidies.

7. If the subsidy is not provided in respect of a certain quantity of goods produced, exported or transported, the amount of subsidy per unit of goods is calculated by dividing the total amount of subsidy by the volume of production, sales or export of such goods during the subsidy period, taking into account, if necessary, the share of subsidized imported goods in the total volume of production, sales or export of goods.

8. If a subsidy is provided in connection with the development or acquisition of fixed assets, the amount of the subsidy is calculated by allocating the subsidy for the average depreciation period of such fixed assets in the relevant economic sector in the relevant State of the Party that provided the specific subsidy. The calculation of the subsidy per unit of goods also includes subsidies that were provided for the purchase of fixed assets prior to the start of the period covered by the investigation, but whose amortization period has not yet expired.

9. When calculating the amount of subsidy, if the amount of subsidy provided for different periods of time or for different purposes for the same product is different, weighted averages of the amount of subsidy are applied based on the volume of production, sales or export of goods.

10. If the subsidy is provided in the form of tax benefits, the value of the product is determined based on the calculation of the total cost of its sales for the last 12 months during which the tax benefits were applied.

11. Subsidies provided during a calendar year by different subsidizing authorities and/or for the implementation of different programs must be summed up.

Article 7 Definition of serious infringement of interests

1. For the purposes of sub-paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of paragraph 4 of Article 4 of this Agreement, the fact of displacement of similar goods from the market of the State of the subsidizing Party, or from the market of the state of a third Party, or curbing the growth of imports of similar goods into the territory of the State of the subsidizing Party, or curbing the growth of exports of goods to the territory of the State of a third Party, is established if it is proved that an unfavorable change in the share of a similar product in the market of the State of the subsidizing Party, or in the market of the state of a third Party relative to the subsidized product. This fact is established over a period sufficient to prove clear trends in the development of the market for this product, which under normal conditions should be at least a year.

An unfavorable change in the market share of the State of the subsidizing Party, or in the market of a third-party State, includes any of the following situations:

a) increase in the market share of subsidized goods;

b) the market share of the subsidized product remains unchanged in circumstances in which, in the absence of a specific subsidy, it should have decreased.;

c) the market share of the subsidized product is falling, but at a slower rate than it would occur in the absence of a specific subsidy.

2. The underestimation of prices specified in subparagraph 4.3 of paragraph 4 of Article 4 of this Agreement should be established on the basis of comparing the prices of the subsidized goods on the relevant market with the prices of goods that were not specifically subsidized during production, transportation or export to the territory of a State in which no specific subsidy was used. Comparisons should be made at the same trading level and over comparable time periods. Any other factors affecting price comparability should be taken into account during the comparison. If this direct comparison is not possible, the presence of underestimation of prices can be established on the basis of average export prices.

3. In cases where two Parties are conducting a dispute in accordance with the provisions of Article 10 of this Agreement on the existence of a serious infringement of interests, as defined in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 4 of Article 4 of this Agreement and Article 7 of this annex, on the market of a third Party State, such Party shall provide the disputing Parties with available statistical information, related to the subject of the ongoing dispute, in relation to changes in the market of such a Party in the shares of goods originating from the territory of the State of other Parties conducting the dispute, as well as statistical information on the prices of the relevant goods. At the same time, such a Party has the right not to conduct a special analysis of the market or prices, as well as not to provide information that it considers a commercial or state secret.

4. The fact of a serious infringement of interest cannot be established if one of the following circumstances exists during the relevant period of time:

1) the existence of a ban or restrictions on the export of goods from the territory of the state of the Party establishing the fact of serious infringement of interests, or a ban or restrictions on the import of goods from the territory of the state of the Party establishing the fact of serious infringement of interests to the market of the state of a third Party;

2) making a decision by the authorized body of the state of the Party that imports a similar product and practices a trade monopoly or state trade in this product, for non-commercial reasons, to redirect imports from the state of the Party that establishes the fact of serious infringement of interests to imports from another state;

3) natural disasters, strikes, transport disruptions or other force majeure circumstances that have a serious negative impact on the production, quality, quantity or price of goods intended for export from the State of the Party establishing the fact of serious infringement of interests;

4) the existence of agreements restricting the export from the State of the Party establishing the fact of serious infringement of interests;

5) voluntary reduction of the possibility of exporting this product from the state of the Party establishing the fact of serious infringement of interests (including, inter alia, a situation where the economic entities of the state of the Party establishing the fact of serious infringement of interests have independently reoriented the export of this similar product to new markets);

6) non-compliance with standards and (or) other administrative requirements in the State of the importing Party.

5. In the absence of the circumstances listed in paragraph 3, the existence of a serious infringement of interests is determined on the basis of information provided to the Conciliation Commission or information that was received by the Conciliation Commission independently, or on the basis of information provided to the EurAsEC Court or information that was received by the EurAsEC Court independently.

Article 8 Determination of damage to a branch of the national economy as a result of the import of subsidized goods

1. Damage to a branch of the national economy as a result of the import of subsidized goods is established on the basis of the results of an analysis of the volume of imports of subsidized goods, the impact of such imports on the prices of similar goods on the market of the State of the Party whose competent authority is conducting the investigation, and on national producers of similar goods.

2. When analyzing the volume of imports of subsidized goods, the competent authority determines whether there has been an increase in imports of subsidized goods (in absolute terms or relative to the production or consumption of similar goods in the State of the Party whose competent authority is conducting the investigation).

When analyzing the impact of the import of subsidized goods on the prices of similar goods on the market of the State of the Party conducting the investigation, the competent authority shall establish:

were the prices of the subsidized product lower than the prices of a similar product on the market of the State of the investigating Party;

has the import of subsidized goods led to a decrease in the prices of similar goods on the market of the State of the Party conducting the investigation;

whether the importation of subsidized goods prevented the price increase of a similar product on the market of the State of the investigating Party, which would have occurred in the absence of such importation.

3. The analysis of the impact of the import of subsidized goods on the branch of the national economy consists in assessing the economic factors relevant to the state of the branch of the national economy, including:

the reduction of production that has occurred or is possible in the future, the sale of a similar product, its market share in the state of the Party conducting the investigation, profits, labor productivity, income from attracted investments or the use of production facilities;

factors affecting the prices of similar goods on the market of the State of the Party conducting the investigation;

the negative impact that has occurred or is possible in the future on cash flows, stocks of similar goods, employment levels, wages, production growth rates, and the ability to attract investment.

4. The impact of the import of subsidized goods on a branch of the national economy is assessed in relation to the production of a similar product in the State of the Party conducting the investigation, if the available data allow us to identify the production of a similar product based on criteria such as the production process, the sale of the product by its manufacturers and profit. If the available data do not allow us to single out the production of a similar product, the impact of the import of a subsidized product on a branch of the national economy is assessed in relation to the production of the narrowest group or range of goods that include a similar product and about which the necessary data is available.

5. The determination of damage to a branch of the national economy as a result of the import of subsidized goods should be based on an analysis of all relevant evidence and information available to the competent authority. In particular, the competent authority analyzes the dynamics and impact of import shipments of similar goods to the single customs territory of the Customs Union and shipments from other states of the Parties. At the same time, none or several factors from among the factors identified as a result of an analysis of the volume of imports of subsidized goods and the impact of such imports on a branch of the national economy can be crucial for the purpose of determining damage to a branch of the national economy due to the import of subsidized goods. In addition to the import of subsidized goods, the competent authority analyzes other known factors that cause damage to a branch of the national economy during the same period. The specified damage to a branch of the national economy should not be attributed by the competent authority to damage to a branch of the national economy due to the import of subsidized goods.

6. When determining the threat of material damage to a branch of the national economy due to the import of subsidized goods, the competent authority takes into account all available factors, including the following factors:

the nature and amount of the subsidy or subsidies and their possible impact on trade;

the growth rate of imports of subsidized goods, indicating the real possibility of a further increase in such imports;

the availability of sufficient opportunities for producers of subsidized goods in the State of the Party that provided the subsidy, or the obvious inevitability of their increase, which indicate the real possibility of increasing the import of subsidized goods;

the price level of the subsidized product, if such a price level can lead to a decrease or deterrence of the price of a similar product on the market of the State of the investigating Party and a further increase in demand for the subsidized product;

stocks are held by the manufacturer of the subsidized product.

At the same time, none or several of the factors listed in this part can be decisive for the purposes of establishing the threat of material damage to a branch of the national economy as a result of the import of subsidized goods.

A decision on the threat of material damage to a branch of the national economy is made if, during the investigation, based on the analysis of the factors specified in this part, the competent authority has concluded that it is inevitable that the subsidized goods will continue to be imported and that such importation will cause material damage to the branch of the national economy if a compensatory measure is not taken.

Annex 4 to the Agreement on Common Rules for the Provision of Industrial Subsidies

A list of specific subsidies, the provision of which is not a basis for taking compensatory measures

1) assistance for research activities carried out by firms, as well as higher education institutions and scientific organizations on a contractual basis with firms, provided that 1 such assistance covers 2 no more than 75% of the cost of industrial research3 or 50% of the cost of development at a pre-competitive stadium4, 5;

and provided that it is provided solely to cover:

a) Staff costs (researchers, technicians and other support staff engaged exclusively in research activities);

b) expenses for tools, equipment, land and facilities used exclusively and permanently (except for sale on a commercial basis) for research activities;

c) expenses for consulting and equivalent services used exclusively for research activities, including the purchase of research results, technical knowledge, patents, etc.;

d) additional overhead costs incurred directly as a result of research activities;

e) other current expenses (for materials, supplies, etc.) incurred directly as a result of research activities;

2) assistance to disadvantaged regions in the territory of the State of the Party, which is provided within the general framework of regional development6, is non-specific (within the meaning of Article 3 of this agreement) and is distributed among the relevant regions, provided that:

a) each disadvantaged region should be a clearly defined compact administrative and economic zone;

b) such a region is considered to be disadvantaged on the basis of neutral and objective criteria,7 showing that the region's difficulties arise not only due to temporary circumstances; such criteria should be clearly defined in laws, regulations or other official documents so that they can be verified;

c) the criteria include the measurement of economic development, which is based on at least one of the following indicators:

per capita income or household income, or the size of GDP per capita, which should not exceed 85% of the average for a given territory.;

the unemployment rate, which should be at least 110% of the average for the given Territory;

measured over a three-year period; however, such a measurement may be complex and may take into account other factors;

3) assistance in adapting existing productions8 to new environmental protection requirements imposed by legislation and/or regulations, which entail additional restrictions and increase the financial burden on firms, provided that such assistance:

a) is a one-time, non-recurring measure; and

b) amounts to no more than 20% of the adaptation costs; and

c) does not cover the costs of replacement and operation of subsidized equipment, which should be fully borne by enterprises; and

d) is directly related to and proportional to the planned reduction of pollution by the company and does not cover the savings on production costs that can be achieved; and

e) available to all companies that may switch to new equipment and/or production processes.

_____________________________________________________________________

1 The provisions of this Agreement do not apply to fundamental scientific research independently conducted by higher educational or scientific institutions. The term "basic research" means the expansion of general scientific and technical knowledge unrelated to industrial or commercial purposes.

2 The acceptable level of assistance, which does not give grounds for taking measures, referred to in this subparagraph, is determined in relation to the total amount of the relevant costs incurred during the period of implementation of a particular project.

3 The term "industrial research" means planned research or critical research aimed at discovering new knowledge in the expectation that such knowledge may be useful in developing new goods, processes or services, as well as for significantly improving existing goods, processes or services.

4 The term "development at the pre-competitive stage" means the translation of the results of industrial research into a plan, drawing or layout of new, modified or improved goods, technological processes or services intended for sale or use, including the creation of a first prototype unsuitable for commercial use. It may also include the formulation of the concept and design of alternative products, methods or services, as well as initial demonstration or pilot projects, provided that they cannot be adapted or used for industrial applications or commercial exploitation. It does not cover ongoing periodic changes to existing products, production lines, processing processes, services, and other routine operations, even if such changes lead to improvements.

5 In the case of programs combining industrial research and pre-competitive developments, the permissible level of assistance that does not provide grounds for action should not be higher than the usual average of the permissible levels for these two categories, calculated taking into account all relevant costs specified in (i)-(v) of this subparagraph.

6 The "General framework for regional development" means that regional subsidy programs are part of an internally consistent and universally applied regional development policy, and that subsidies for regional development are not provided to individual geographical locations that have little or no impact on the development of the region.

7 "Neutral and objective criteria" means criteria that do not provide benefits to certain regions beyond what is necessary to eliminate or reduce differences between regions within the framework of regional development policy. In this regard, regional subsidy programs should include the maximum amounts of assistance that can be provided for each subsidized project. Such maximum amounts should be differentiated depending on the level of development of the regions being assisted, and expressed in the form of investment costs or job creation costs. Within these amounts, assistance should be distributed widely enough to avoid the preferential use of subsidies or the provision of disproportionately large amounts to certain enterprises, as provided for in article 3.

8 The term "existing production facilities" means production facilities that have been in operation for at least two years prior to the introduction of new environmental requirements.
