According to the press service of the Cabinet, the document was developed taking into account internal and external challenges for the development of the country's foreign trade.

As part of this work, firstly, it is planned to form a single full list of services and support measures in the field of foreign trade at the federal and regional levels and improve the work of state information systems that provide access to such services.

Secondly, it is planned to integrate One Window with the information systems of state authorities and organizations. This will allow you to promptly notify users about the possibility of receiving services and support measures, as well as send information about the status and results of the provision of these services.

Thirdly, it is planned to develop a regulatory and technological basis for an operational and convenient format for interaction between entrepreneurs and departments, including in terms of consideration of appeals.

Fourthly, for the further development of the system, the creation of a single register of participants in foreign trade activities is envisaged. This will allow the authorities to more effectively support exporters and importers based on specific business situations. In addition, with the help of the register, departments will be able to monitor business activity, qualitatively form a personalized environment of personal accounts of entrepreneurs and send them relevant proposals.

The Ministry of Economic Development and the Russian Export Center, which is its operator, will coordinate the development of the system.

As a rule, the interaction of information systems of authorities with participants in foreign economic activity will be carried out automatically using a single system of interdepartmental electronic interaction (SMEV). The norms of the resolution will significantly reduce the period for the exchange of information between information systems using SMEV in an automated mode since 2023: from 48 hours to 10 minutes.

Such rules should significantly reduce the cost and time costs of foreign economic activity participants.

The functions of the operator of the One Window information system in the field of foreign trade activities are assigned to JSC Russian Export Center. Among other things, it will determine the list of services that ensure the interaction of participants in foreign trade activities using the One Window information system in order to develop and support exports.^[1]"
