"It is important for Russia to position itself as a predictable and transparent partner. The World Trade Organization, while being an instrument of ensuring mutually advantageous and multilateral trade, was for Russia's internal agenda a springboard for joining the OECD, where one can get only after joining becoming a WTO member," he said.
In the coming couple of years Russia will need to modify its legislation in a way that would match the best standards characteristic of the OECD member-states, he said.
"We also need to ensure the unswerving compliance with the law and to form civilized practices. It would be the best signal for investors," Shuvalov said.
