  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Energy Sector: A Systemic Analysis of Economy, Foreign Trade and Legal Regulations

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems ((LNNS,volume 44))

Abstract

The chapter of the book substantiates the significance of the civil legal basis for the foreign trade turnover of energy resources for the social and economic modernization of the Russian state. Sources containing norms and regulations regulating this sphere of international management, as well as drafts of normative and legal documents under development and recommended for adoption by representatives of the domestic scientific doctrine are being studied. The system of legal regulation of foreign trade turnover of energy resources, as objects of civil rights, is considered by the authors from the point of view of the totality of elements, both general and special domestic legislation, norms of technical regulation, as well as international legal regulation. The basis of this is the unified substantive rules of international treaties, the customs of international business turnover and the rule of soft law, developed by various international organizations. The updated provisions of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation on the procedure for carrying out foreign trade activities by economic entities are analyzed. The doctrinal classifications of legislative acts that constitute an array of foreign trade legal regulation in the energy sector are being studied. It is noted that the international contractual practice in the Russian Federation in the field of foreign trade turnover of energy resources has developed on the basis of the existing extensive material and conflict of laws, which includes not only civil law legislation, but also the norms of administrative, export, currency, customs and tax legislation. The expanding influence of international organizations on the development of an array of national civil-law regulation in the sphere of trade in energy resources has been established.
