.Duma to ratify treaty on EurAsEC Anti-Crisis Fund.
MOSCOW, July 15 (Itar-Tass) - The Russian State Duma lower house of
parliament considers on Wednesday ratification of the treaty on the
establishment of the EurAsEC Anti-Crisis Fund, submitted by President
Dmitry Medvedev.
The Anti-Crisis Fund was established to help EurAsEC's member states
overcome negative aftermaths of the global financial and economic crisis,
as well as to contribute to a further integration of national economies.
Its funds will be used for granting sovereign loans and stabilization
credits, as well as for financing inter-state investment projects.
The first deputy head of the Duma international affairs committee,
Leonid Slutsky, said each representative of the Fund's participant in its
Council will have the number of votes proportional to the amount of money
contributed by his state.
The registered capital of the fund will be ten billion dollars, while
Russia's share will be 7.5 billion dollars (the initial contribution will
be 750 million dollars). Another one billion dollars will come from
Kazakhstan.
Russia's participation in the fund is already fixed in the budget for
2009-2011. The decision to set up the EurAsEC Anti-Crisis Fund was made on
February 4 at a EurAsEC summit in Moscow. "This is not a money bag, but an
anti-crisis fund for mutual assistance with allied states. Nobody has
enough money, but our states have different possibilities, reserves, and
if difficult situations emerge, its participants will be able to use that
fund," Medvedev said then.
According to him, "the fund was set up not for commercial needs, but
for performing rather important state functions. The money can be given as
a sovereign credit - practically these are state guarantees, or as a
stabilization credit," he said.
The agreement and the treaty were signed on June 9, 2009, by the prime
ministers of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and
Armenia.
The Eurasian Economic Community, established in 2000, comprises
Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan. Three other former
Soviet republics - Armenia, Moldova and Ukraine - have observer status.
