Abstract
The emergence of a new regulatory environment (global – regional – national), including Russia's membership in the WTO, has a direct impact on the international competitiveness of Russian business: new opportunities open up for some industries, and threats arise for others. It should be recognized that employees of state institutions responsible or involved in decision-making in the field of regulation of foreign economic activity do not have the necessary level of advanced theoretical knowledge, practical skills, knowledge of the "best world experience".
