3. Formation of the zone of cooperative development in the territory of Eurasia and strengthening of RussiaТs positions as the leader of integration processes in it;

4. Increase in RussiaТs role in the formation of international economic system;

5. Matching the bodies for government foreign economic policy formation and its fulfillment in concordance with the demands of Russian participants of foreign economic activity considering the best models of world practice;

6. Application of tools of customs and tariffs and non-tariffs regulation in order to rationalize import and attract new technologies;

7. Formation of bodies for entrepreneurs associations participation in foreign economic policy formation.On the whole, ConceptТs project envisages three periods for foreign economic policy realization. In 20082012 it is supposed to expand global competitive advantages in traditional spheres - power industry, transport and resources processing. In 2013-2017 - to make a spurt increasing global competitive ability of the economy on the basis of its transition to new technological basis (information, bio- and nanotechnologies);

after 2018 - to strengthen leading positions in the world economy and develop social-oriented economy.The analysis conducted in the ConceptТs project demonstrates that despite the growth of global competition, there are competitive and potentially competitive branches of industry in Russia. At the same time fulfillment of big branch projects (power industry, transport, processing industries and other spheres) in longterm prospect is impossible without taking into account globalization factor and active entrance to foreign markets, that is every large-scale project of economic development contains considerable foreign economic constituent. In this connection in order to realize successfully export-oriented projects, active implementation of instruments of foreign economic policy is required.

The aim of the FEP in long-term run is to create conditions for Russia to achieve leading positions in the world economy on the basis of its effective participation in international division of labor and increase in global competitive ability o the national economy.

Source: WTO Secretariat, Geneva, press release, April 17, Money allowance of servicemen - the main factor of transition to a professional army on a voluntary basis E. Trofimova Increase in the money allowances of all servicemen enlisted for military service under contracts should become one of the means for enhancing the attractiveness of military service. However, the size of money allowance of a majority of contractees has failed to rise to the desirable values that should be above the average wage across the country, the result being a disruption of the program of transition to the contract, which can be fraught with further difficulties in the implementation of military reform.

Recently, the RF Ministry of Defense has developed a program document, УThe Strategy for the Social Development of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for the Period Until the Year 2020Ф18. One of Strategiia sotsialТnogo razvitiia Vooruzhennykh Sil Rossiiskoi Federatsii na period do 2020 goda. [The Strategy for the Social Development of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for the Period until the Year 2020] // Krasnaia Zvezda [The Red Star], 18 April 2008.

the tasks set in the Strategy is Уan increase in the size and an improvement of the quality of charging money allowances to servicemenФ.

This task is by no means a new one. The money allowance of servicemen should have played an important part in the implementation of the Federal Target Program УThe Transition of a Number of Formations and Military Units to being Manned by Servicemen Enlisted for Military Service under ContractsФ for the years 2004 - 2007. A young man was to voluntarily prefer military service to all the other types of activity available on the labor market. And therefore it was precisely the increase of money allowance to the size of the national average that should have become one of the means to enhance the attractiveness of military service.

However, even now the minimum money allowance amounts only to 8.4 thousand rubles, or nearly two times less than the national average (in February 2008 - 15,214 rubles) 19. Even after the recent increase, the money allowance of a squad commander falls short of 15 thousand rubles20. According to the estimates of the IET, a considerable rise in the size of money allowance (which still falls short of the requited one) has taken place only with regard to the servicemen serving in the military units of permanent readiness, especially those quartered in Chechnya (the 42nd Guards Mechanized Infantry Division).

On the other hand, the money allowances of the persons filling military positions in the central apparatus of the RF Ministry of Defense turn out to be much higher than those of all the other servicemen of the Armed Forces. This fact has not passed unnoticed by the mass media21. It was noted that Уthere emerged a blatant injustice in the charging of money allowances to servicemenФ22. In order to increase the attractiveness of military service it was planned У to establish (initially in legislation, and then in the Regulation on Money AllowanceФ that even at the lowest tiers of the military hierarchy, the money allowance received by a servicemen enlisted for military service under a contract should exceed the average wage across the countryФ.

Below, we are attempting to analyze the dynamics of the military allowances of all categories of servicemen for the years 2003 - 2008 (see Table 1, which contains the list of administrative decisions).
