Russia - Bulgaria: the bridge in the past? Or in the future?
Russia - Bulgaria: the bridge in the past? Or in the future?
Oleg BOBRAKOV. Varna - Moscow.
Notes from the next business conference.
The beginning of October abounded with surprises, including
The weather. Time as if has moved back - from autumn by the summer.
Air temperature in Moscow over 20 degrees. In Varna, where
We has landed п я -154 the companies "the Aviaexpress train cruise", and that
hleshche: air - 34, and sea water - 23 degrees. Sensation
That time really moves back, somewhere to
To 70th years, has amplified, when at gangways have seen the hospitable
Bulgarians in national clothes with bread-salt, have heard so
Similar to our slavic speech. Hot embraces have followed,
Exclamations "bratushki"... In a word, everything, as those years, when we
Were together.
And here already flattered by attention of the Bulgarian journalists
The head of our delegation the first deputy director
Federal service of air transport of Russia A.Bondarev
Declares: we are ready to sign contracts for a total sum 95
Millions dollars. So the next began
Business conference which has collected over ninety Russian
Heads of the ministries and departments, administrations of areas and
The cities, visible businessmen, heads of travel companies,
Diplomats and journalists.
The Bulgarian delegation was not less representative also: mayors
East cities, heads of departments - organizers
Forum - Societies of the bolgaro-Russian friendship, Varnensky
Commercial and industrial chamber, tourist chamber, Agency
Economic development. It seemed, did not give in to the account
Quantity of owners of tourist hotels,
Firms-manufacturers of wine and plodovo-vegetable canned food, others
The businessmen fiercely struggling among themselves for the right
To receive visitors from Russia.
Here, probably, pertinently to tell some words about rather
The new phenomenon in the Russian commercial life "
Business conferences. Actually, they have arisen not too
Recently. One of their permanent organizers, well-known
To sportsmen and fans of sports, in the past the head
International sports activity goskomsporta the USSR
Vyacheslav Gavrilin, has counted those about ten: in Italy
They were spent twice, South Korea - three times, in the USA - twice,
One time in Japan, Austria, Germany, France, Spain,
Greece.
In what their difference from traditional fairs? That on
The last participants operate blindly. One expose the goods
And services in hope to find the buyer. Others wander between
Stands in search of the necessary. In problem business conferences
Search organizers incur. In advance it is defined
The list of the offered goods and services, will be co-ordinated demand and
The offer, potential sellers are looked for and
Buyers. Participants of business conference need to meet
With each other, to be convinced of mutual advantage of conditions and at
Its presence to sign corresponding contracts.
Add here magnificent working conditions and rest for
Boundary, presence of the qualified lawyers and translators,
The advanced office equipment... Add to it, that to you
Will not allow to miss even in free from sessions and negotiations
Time - the sated excursion program, acquaintance with
Host country, visiting of the local enterprises, where
To participants realise the goods on cost prices, moreover with
The essential discount and if you pay attention to cost
Similar business trip for your firm be convinced, that
It much more low than if you have gone for the same term
Under the tourist permit. Here such combination pleasant with
The useful. It also explains, why at formation the next
Delegations are not present a release from interested persons to enter into it. Ministers go and
Governors, bankers and businessmen, production workers and
Scientists. Consist pobratimskie agreements, trading
Contracts, are born interesting investment projects,
Joint ventures.
About efficiency of similar business conferences speaks though
Such fact. In Naples during a similar forum was
It is concluded contracts for a total sum of 47,3 million of dollars,
They have been executed almost completely. Whether It is necessary to be surprised, that
The majority of participants of that action has expressed a wish
To continue such practice.
Did not become an exception and present business conference in Varna.
In what its specificity? Happens, that the whole people behave
Like the got naughty schoolboys. Having run away from a lesson and having got drunk from
Freedom which have ostensibly come to them, they with pleasure indulge
To delight of permissiveness. It seems, all is subject to you, no
Anything unattainable. Something similar has occurred to the countries
Were SEV, some Soviet republics. At times there
The opinion, as if the socialist economic was cultivated
puty constrain their development. Here we will supposedly be released from them and
Then... Were released, and what has appeared? Ideology
Ideology, and economy - economy. And it dictates the
Rigid laws.
- At this conference I was convinced, that euphoria has terminated, -
The mayor of a city of Vladimir Igor Shamov speaks. - the Former countries SEV
Thought, that they will make the way on the western market. Today all
Clearly, what is it it is impossible. Even if our goods will be on
To quality at level western, in their markets nobody waits for us. And
Means, the life pushes us towards each other, as it
There were long years. We should form the market. But already in
New quality where will not be neither big brothers, nor younger
Sisters, and there will be partners equal in rights.
The Vladimir mayor, certainly, the rights. Problems in
The Russian-Bulgarian relations has collected fairly. Remember,
Still more recently our plodovo-vegetable table was formed
Mainly from the Bulgarian products - from green peas
And marinaded cucumbers to sweet compotes. And who does not remember
Remarkable Bulgarian dry wines? Now it almost completely
Has disappeared. One of the reasons - the customs duties, which in
Bulgaria almost ten times exceed duties on the similar
The western goods.
We in a course "struggle against an alcoholism", having lost the own
Grapes, our communications with Crimea, caucasus, Moldova have weakened and
Etc. Russia remained without dry wine, and Bulgaria it
It is overstocked with goods. A few Germans and Englishmen take, but same is far
Not the Russian market. Or to take the same tourism. Recently rest on
Gold Sand was a limit of desires for millions Soviet
People. Today for us all world is opened. And here it appears, that
Rest in Bulgaria on a price level approximately corresponds to rest
On Cyprus. Though service on this especially tourist island,
Probably, above. Besides, on the organisation of the Russian tourism
In Bulgaria some problems with the air have negatively affected
The message between our countries.
These and many other things thorny questions tried to "embroider" all
Participants of present business conference. Entered into agreements
Pilots, searched for possibilities to make a commodity exchange
Mutually advantageous businessmen, obgovarivali creation questions
The Bulgarian shops in under construction Moscow underground
Transitions the people who are engaged in an accomplishment of the capital
Radial highways. The constant desire was However, felt
It is more to sell Bulgarians of the goods and to buy less
Ours. But also here partners found the consent.
Already mentioned mayor Vladimir has agreed about the cultural
Exchange, about purchases of the Bulgarian wines, about participation in an exhibition
The Russian goods in Varna, about the organisation in Bulgaria
Representations on sales of the Vladimir tractors.
Its colleague from Smolensk Ivan Averchenkov has half in jest noticed,
That most of all advantage has received from contacts to the Russian
Members of delegation. And further has noticed: going to Varna, I
Has asked the wife what to bring to a gift. She has responded: ketchup and
Fault. Here I also have charged it to our businessman Oleg Rashevskomu
To bring to a gift to the whole city. It is necessary to tell, Oleg
Timofeevich with the task has consulted. Has entered into the agreement on
Deliveries of wine to the sum one million dollars. And wine from
To Bulgaria it will be delivered in tanks, and to spread - on
Joint venture in Smolensk. So it is more favourable from a point
Sight of customs payments. For Smolenshchinu the inexpensive will come
Fruit-and-vegetable canned food, local children will have a rest on Gold
Sand, and will pay off smoljane with the wood.
By the way, in similar business conferences Oleg Timofeevich
Second time participates. In the first - has brought from Athenes to a native city
Cheap oranges. Assures, that will be obligatory to participate
In all subsequent similar actions, in particular - in
To the following meeting in Saloniki.
And it will take place already very soon - in the middle of November. Greeks
Already have put forward some tens offers - from sale
The best in the world of raisin before granting of the industrial
Investments. So who did not happen yet at business conferences -
Hurry to join. And more. If till now "Parliamentary
