Non-tariff measures. Non-tariff measures cover a large group of diverse measures of financial, technical, administrative, monetary and trade policies, as well as measures of environmental policy measures aimed at protecting the health of people, animals and plants.

In this regard, in the period from 2011 to 2014 should:

1) reducing the practice of granting exclusive rights to export and / or import of certain species, in violation of the competitive situation on the market, limiting the movement of goods. In international practice, the exclusive right to import and (or) export also called monopolistic measures - are measures that involve the provision of state of the exclusive right to separate economic entities for export (import) products, ie creation of monopolistic situations due granting exclusive rights to one or a limited number of persons on economic, social or financial reasons. Therefore, all imports or imports of certain goods shall pass through state agencies or state-controlled enterprises. In some cases, the private sector also provides an exclusive right that supersedes other market participants.

Protection of the domestic market for imported goods. Before the establishment of the Customs Union of Kazakhstan had the opportunity to apply anti-dumping and countervailing measures against imports from all countries, including the countries of the Customs Union, and special protective measures apply to all imports, regardless of their country of origin. Since July 2010, trade measures may be taken only in respect of goods originating from countries not members of the Customs Union.

It should be noted that in the international legal system, the use of trade measures governed by Articles VI and XIX of GATT 1947 and the WTO Agreement on Implementation of Article VI of the GATT, on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures and the use of special protective measures. The most common in world trade are anti-dumping measures - according to statistics from the WTO from 1995 to 2008 WTO members have conducted about 6,000 investigations.

In general, the legal framework of the WTO trade measures allows member countries to protect the domestic market if the growth of imports of goods leads to a threat or harm to domestic production; take measures to protect the interests of domestic producers, in the case of unfair trade with trading partners; protect domestic exporters from discrimination, in the event of unjustified use of trade measures by other WTO members.

Leading countries in the use of trade measures are: India, Brazil, Argentina, Turkey, the EU, the US, Australia, Canada, China, South Africa. The tendency of the active use of trade measures by developing countries that successfully use capabilities of the WTO to protect national production. Countries against which trade measures are often used in China (50%), Thailand, Taiwan, Indonesia, Korea, the USA, India and Russia.

Agreement on the application of special protective, antidumping and countervailing measures against third countries entered into force in July 2010, with the creation of a fully functioning competent authority with qualified professionals within the Customs Union Commission will need additional time. In this regard, in order to at this time of the Customs Union producers have not lost capabilities to defend against unfair or sharply increasing imports, need to develop appropriate mechanisms;
