Let them hate, as long as they paid.

"Let them hate, as long as they were afraid," - cried the Roman emperor Caligula. Oderint dum solvant, «Let them hate, if only to pay" - would say the Kremlin.
First example: assembly production
Imagine that you have decided to create a high-tech production in Russia - for example, to collect cell phones. To do this you need to import components from abroad. In the mobile phone - two thousand parts. At each position should formalize the declaration, with a declaration could not be more than 15 positions. The first page of the declaration (in which the positions could not be more than 3) costs 15 thousand rubles.
134 Declaration by 2 thousand positions - that's not all. There are "average customs value". It is this: a microphone for a mobile phone is worth 5 cents, and a concert microphone - $ 1000. Consequently, the average customs value - $ 500.
Concept of "average customs value" - a legalized way to collect bribes. No other purpose it is. Naturally, with such a setting, no high-tech production in Russia can not be. In response to the question "why Russia is not high tech?" You can safely answer, as in the joke: "First, nothing can bring."
Can you help the cause? Course: cancel the declaration of components. In China, it does not. If you ask the Chinese customs: "But is it necessary to completing customs clearance?" - Look at you as a madman. (Incidentally, I retell the story is not an abstract event, and the specific case of businessman Vladimir Neveykina, which not only organize assembly manufacture of radio engineering of the same instrument in both China and Russia, but honestly described the outcome of the experiment in "Novaya Gazeta".)
Second example: the import of clothing
Imagine that your business is selling "brand" of clothing and that due to some problems with their competitors, or simply the unwillingness to communicate with slippery people you are trying to clear them through customs your things "in white." Incidentally, I once again retell the story a real case, only the name of a businessman, this time can not name.
The first thing you run the risk - is that you are accused of smuggling. Is done very easily. Unpacking a box of Italy, the document reads: "blouse, 10 pcs.." Of the nine blouses may be white, and one - a gray and nine will have a composition of 100%cotton, and in one, is similar in style, you'll find 5%elastane. Based on the fact that it is not specified in the declaration, things will be arrested and placed in temporary storage warehouse, where the prices quite devastating.
Second, what you risk - it was the same average customs value. Take, for example, the trading house "Dolce & Gabbana. He has two lines: dear exclusive Dolce & Cabbana and youth, which is cheaper, D & G. Lines D & G Customs for does not exist: If you bring jeans D & G for a hundred dollars, he would raise the average customs value of one thousand, claiming that the jeans Dolce & Cabbana stand in the store just as much.
Whether the problem is solvable? No kidding. When Dolce & Cabbana thing exported from Italy, he also filled in a declaration, and he is unlikely to undervalue, because this was the declaration he returned to VAT. In order to solve the problem of the "average customs value" once and for all, enough to recognize as a legitimate document European declaration. Obviously, the whole essence of our customs - in that it does not recognize. And that those in whose pockets flow proceeds from the "average customs value" is hardly interested in Russia's accession to the WTO. For the same reason that the wolf is not interested in vegetarianism.
Third example: China
Most recently, in Moscow, under the customs of war clans suffered defeat Cherkizovsky market. Only Chinese goods there were arrested on 2 billion dollars, and then it turned out that the goods are harmful, dangerous to health, etc. This product may be, and indeed was harmful, but nobody noticed until the market until the owner Telman Ismailov did not cause any personal anger VV Putin.
The problem was that the victim of royal tyranny fell not only Telman Ismailov, a market which was disgusting, dirty cloaca, which has reached in these places could give the solicitor's stick on the head, and where people lived for months without any documents on the status of slaves.
The victims were these very slaves - impoverished Chinese who traded in an amount of 5-10 thousand dollars, half of which was owed, and the other half - to earn an awful job on conveyors Shanghai and Shenzhen. China has been taken not to give up debts; in China in such a case, decided to commit suicide.
"Substandard" Chinese goods are simply evaporated, China has sent Russia 23 notes, and it is put into motion only when China has suspended the payment of the next tranche of 25 billion loan provided by Rosneft and Transneft to build the pipeline. Here goods began to give, upon presentation of documents, including those drawn on his knee in the near entrance.
The problem of "Cherkizona" lies in the fact that most of the casualties of Chinese traders and did not know that lucky smuggling. They thought that Russia has such a law: give up the goods in Guangzhou, get in Moscow. And if you carry the goods across the border, it is precisely the contraband. That they have learned by experience, because with the passage of goods across the border he was arrested, because the same 15 positions in the declaration: write in the declaration, which carry a "jacket", confiscated, because they do not indicate that a blouse in a cell, and the other in stripes. Write that one into the cell, and another in the strip - confiscated for failure to specify the number of cells.
Is there any way out? There are elementary. Import rags by weight. Bales. Any other way of customs clearance inevitably leads to the appearance of characters, such Telman, and then to redistribution of their markets.
Example Four: wine
And finally, more anecdotal example: Did you know that, according to Russia's customs regulations, any wine on importation shall be subject to certification? It would seem that it's funny - in addition to certificate of European wines, where quality control system where as rigid. But Europe, we do not believe. Suddenly they are something there nahimichili, in his Bordeaux? Indeed, that is quite bizarre - the wine must undergo additional local certification at the entry to a number of areas, such as Tatarstan.
That is a European mark «appellation d'origine controlee" Kazan is not a decree. Whether it has its own office "Pupkin and a cat", which is all just check.
Incidentally, the certification must pass two bottles from the party. Well, if this "Merlot" for thirty euros. And if this collection wine to 6 thousand euros? On 10 thousand? As you know, our clean and corrupt customs never just do not believe that the wine from 6 euros a bottle does not require additional certification ...
What follows? Two things, one philosophical, the other practical. The philosophical conclusion is that Russia's customs system is based on the belief that Russia's businessman - a criminal. What is its purpose - not to earn money, and commit the crime. And to that end it, the offender, must regulate and protect.
Imagine, for example, that our government decides to fight terrorism and to this end will oblige all citizens over 12 years, one month to file a special official declaration that painted all of our actions for the month ahead: when someone stood up, brushed his teeth, called a friend and lay down sleep. As a result of any of us here would be the same offender, violating his declaration as hundreds and hundreds of times, and will certainly be guilty of enforcement bodies, and the number of terrorists will not become smaller. "Why are you in the declaration that will be at 12.00 on Arbat Street, and were at this time Prechistenke?" - "Yes my child hit by a car!" - "Shut up! Why did not specify in advance that the child will get under the car? "
In practice, the conclusion is that the famous article by Dmitry Medvedev "Russia, forward", was adopted by the liberal part of the public for trying to reform - a simulacrum.
Presidents are not governed by the articles; presidential rule by decree. President Medvedev, if he wants to do something, it is enough to issue a decree abolishing the current customs regulations. Repealing the "average customs value" and the practice of declaring components and introducing the European Declaration for goods from Europe and the customs clearance for tyukam - from China, not to mention the general decline in fees.
The decree could be part of the argument, but could not be. In the preamble could be said about the "widespread corruption", but could not speak common phrases, and include only specific examples. And if the president orders instead of writing an article of common phrases, then with the same success as proof of their liberal intentions, he can play us on the violin.
Actually, it is only him and remains, for those who are in Russia controls the "black" flows from the customs - it is not even a person close to the government. It is power itself. And it does not care that the regulations for import of components to put a cross on high technologies in Russia, or that bullying can cause the Chinese, in the end, international conflict, or that business hates authority, as prisoners in concentration camps hate their torturers, even if part concluded with butchers working.
Let them hate - if only to pay.
