In the past 10 years, efforts have been repeatedly taken to reform the system of TM in order to upgrade its efficiency for the country’s foreign complex as a whole. It is to be noted that principally different options ranging from a transfer of the foreign administrative apparatus of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation to another agency to complete liquidation of that institution were considered.
