VOICED: Rusia ingresa a la OMC

Russia officially joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) as its 156th member after nearly two decades of negotiations. The main condition for Russia's entry was to reduce import tariffs, which are expected to drop from 9.5% to 6% by 2015. This move was seen as a significant step towards modernizing Russia's economy. However, the decision faced opposition, particularly from Russian communists, who feared that lower tariffs would lead to increased competition from foreign products, potentially harming the domestic industry rooted in the Soviet era.
