“Ice-cream and cold”, Heading: Ринок
Some television broadcasts about the safety of ice cream domestic production information is presented deliberately negative. Unsubstantiated and categorical conclusions undermines the credibility of final consumers to brands and causes economic and moral damage to the industry.
Таким чином Асоціація «Укркондпром» відреагувала на Рішення Ради міністрів Республіки Білорусь запровадити дискримінаційну процедуру – обов’язкову санітарно-гігієнічну експертизу імпортної продукції.
Chapter "Ukrkondpromu" said O.Baldynyuk, that in connection with this decision, Ukrainian entry of goods into circulation on the market since Belarus 27 August 2015 y. severely limited.
said O.Baldynyuk, that his actions blatantly violates Belarus Free Trade Agreement of the CIS 2011 year.
Mandatory sanitary-hygienic examination in Belarus does not apply to products, originating in member countries of the Eurasian Economic Union, including Russia, and Belarusian goods production.
The Association noted, the Republic of Belarus annually resorted to various technologies blocking access of Ukrainian producers to its market, violating the international commitments of Belarus.
"Belorussia, exploiting the Ukrainian market MFN, which provided her Ukrainian side, and having a positive trade balance of Ukraine in the amount of nearly half a billion dollars, she resorted to illegal methods of administrative block access of Ukrainian goods to the Belarusian market ", said Baldynyuk.
Association "Ukrkondprom" Ukraine has filed a Statement of Economic Development to conduct an investigation to establish the discriminatory and hostile actions by Belarus respect to Ukrainian producers. According to preliminary calculations Association, losses of domestic confectionery industry from such measures are made about Belarus 40 million. UAH. and continues to grow.
25 leading business associations publicly appealed to President, Прем’єр-міністра та Голови Верховної Ради України із закликом термінової відміни додаткового імпортного збору. To appeal committee entrepreneurs joined the Chamber of Commerce Ukraine.
Action additional import duty to the end 2015 year would reduce real GDP in Ukraine 6%, and gross value added in the domestic sectors of the economy on average 18,5%. These results showed a simulation system Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP), SRI carried State Informatization and Economic Modeling.
In addition, expected negative tax effect due to a shortfall in tax on domestic enterprises to the amount 36,3 billion. грн та збільшення внутрішніх цін на продукцію в середньому на 9,4%, а експортних цін на вітчизняну продукцію на 7,4%. GTAP modeling has confirmed the actual results of the industry, representing the signatories of the appeal.
Therefore, Ukrainian producers demanded to cancel the additional import fee in the amount of 10% for agri-food products and 5% on other products. The introduction of an additional import duty was not accompanied by thorough calculation of its negative effects, а величина була досить умовною – розмір додаткового імпортного збору (5% and 10%) in many cases exceeds the standard import duty, contrary to economic logic.
Additional import duty is not a significant factor restricting imports, but rather, due to lower competitiveness of domestic producers on foreign markets, призводить до падіння експорту і втрати українських позицій на традиційних ринках збуту.
Each subsequent month of the additional import duty reduces the chances of Ukrainian technological products processed in the competition on the foreign and domestic markets. In such circumstances, is economically attractive production of raw materials, compared to high technology, high-tech products with great degree of processing.
Thus, establishes additional import duty status, as agro-raw appendage.

“Ukraine has complicated access to raw materials, and effort on our exports, which brings currency into the country, – Archive Baldınyuk. – This year we see a decline in exports to our traditional markets, accounting 20-50% exports. it Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Moldova. It is difficult to explain the war and relations with Russia. Russia does not prevent us to export to Moldova and Belarus”.
Baldynyuk forecasts, that the result of the collection can be a drop in production of almost 40 thousand. tons per year, or 2,7 bn, staff reduction to about 4,5 thousand. person (already 1,5 thousand. fired). And reduced payments to the budget.
“The government must understand, now collected 8 bn, not glean in longer term. If you kill the enterprise, with whom they will collect taxes. Never such a crisis in the industry was not, even in the dashing 90-ies”, – said businessman.
To collect the problem is added to the growth of production costs (flour group – by 80-90% c 2014-2015 years, chocolate saharystaya group – 110-120%), unrecovered VAT (debt to the industry on 1 April – more 200 million), exchange control.
