OREANDA-NEWS. May 25, 2009. Today we need to sell more than we produce to unload the stocks of ready-made goods, Prime Minister of Belarus Sergei Sidorsky said at a session of the Council of Ministers, reported the Official website government.by.

“We have agreed that the stocks of ready-made products at warehouses will not be increased. We do not need the indices for the sake of indices. We need good sales today, the Prime Minister said.

According to the Premier, not all the sectors of the economy understand this. Sergei Sidorsky cited the example of the Bellesbumprom and Bellegprom Concerns and the Industry Ministry which have the largest volume of stocked goods at warehouses.

On the whole, the amount of products stocked at warehouses in Belarus has reached almost Br7 trillion. In April it increased by Br191 billion. The situation started changing in March 2009. “We should sell more to avoid stockpiling of products,” Sergei Sidorsky said.

Artificial barriers in trade with the CIS countries will be removed, Prime Minister of Belarus Sergei Sidorsky said.

“The countries built so many obstacles and took a lot of spontaneous decisions in October-November 2008 at a time when everything was on the edge of collapsing. Today every country is showing the signs of stabilization. That means those momentous decisions need to be reserved,” the Premier stressed.

In his words, the CIS Council of the Heads of Government discussed these issues and agreed to take all necessary measures to reduce artificial barriers. Belarus was the only country which did not impose any restrictions towards its neighbouring countries, Sergei Sidorsky said.

These issues will be discussed during the forthcoming session of the Union State Council of Ministers that is due in Minsk on May 28, the Prime Minister said.
