To a question of concept of the external economic contracts of the
Republic of Kazakhstan.
Need of attraction
of foreign investments into economy and development of foreign economic
relations of the Republic of Kazakhstan, expansion of the contract relations of
the Kazakhstan businessmen with foreign partners, rapprochement of the national
legislation on the external economic questions with the international
agreements cause special relevance of legal problems of the external economic
contracts. Also for development of the Kazakhstan legislation on this matter as
though in the Republic of Kazakhstan rather large number of the laws and other
regulations regulating these or those aspects of foreign economic activity is
already accepted the General part of the Civil Code of the Republic of
Kazakhstan is accepted, [1] (further - RK Group), Special part of the Civil
Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The Kazakhstan legislation doesn't contain
special definition of the external economic contracts. With development of the
market scope of application not only contracts, but also other types of the
external economic contracts extends: leasing, factoring, forfeiting,
franchising, etc.
Transactions being external economic gives to the parties
opportunity of application not only the right of the foreign state, but also
standards of the relevant international conventions, thus standards of
conventions can have a priority in relation to standards of the national
legislation. To internal transactions of standard of conventions are
inapplicable.
Thus, recognition of
the contract the external economic involves important legal consequences and
there is an imperative need of a normative definition of the external economic
contract.
Considering a ratio of concepts of the contract with
concepts of the transaction and contract, it should be noted that the contract
by the legal nature is the same contract. In legal literature the terms
"contract" and "contract" are considered as synonymous
concepts. As A. N. Mukhitdinov noted, in wide value the contract is understood
as any contract and the agreement and in this sense the concept
"contract" is applied in world practice, in foreign countries [2
Pages 17]. A. N. Mukhitdinov differentiates concept of the contract of three
values: the contract as the legal fact, the contract as the document
establishing the rights and obligations of the parties, that is contents of the
contract, and the contract as legal institute. From this point of view, we
believe, it is possible to define that the contract as the legal fact fixes the
conditions coordinated by the parties at the conclusion of the contract; the
contract as the document affirms the rights and obligations of the parties; the
contract as legal institute represents set of the precepts of law regulating
certain types of the civil relations. It is fairly noted that still in
literature there aren't enough researches studying the legal nature of the
contract, its place in system of the right. However the term
"contract" is already widely put informally in the sphere civil, obligations
into practice though legislatively application of this term is fixed only
concerning labor agreements so far. The term "contract" is applied
and in the Decrees of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan which are
valid the law "About Oil" (chapter 5 "Contracts" of the
Decree "About Oil") and "About a subsoil and subsurface
use" (chapter 5 "Contracts for exploration and production" of
the Decree "About a Subsoil") in which the contract is defined as the
contract for carrying out oil operations (Art. 1 of the Decree "About
Oil"); the contract for carrying out operations on subsurface use (Art. 1
of the Decree "About a Subsoil") though the Civil Code of the
Republic of Kazakhstan doesn't contain definition of the contract.
Considering a ratio of the concepts "contract" and
"contract" with the concept "transaction", it should be
noted that the concept "transaction" is broader than the concepts
"contract" and "contract". The actions of citizens and
legal entities directed on establishment, change or the termination of the
civil rights and duties belong to transactions according to Art. 147 of RK
Group. The transaction expresses will of one or two or more persons (Art. 148
of RK Group). The transaction expressing will of two or more persons admits the
contract (Art. 148 of RK Group). That is, the concept the contract or the
contract already of concept of the transaction, any contract (contract) is the
transaction, however the unilateral transaction the contract (contract) doesn't
admit.
V.A. Musin calls such contracts
the international trade contracts and carries to them "the transactions
made for commercial purposes by persons of various state accessory and
attracting emergence, change or the termination of the civil rights and duties
connected with creation, use or realization of material benefits or other
results of human activity" [3.s.15]. In one of recent researches on this
question definition of the external economic contracts as agreements of the
Russian businessmen with foreign firms and citizens, the external economic
operations having a subject connected with an exchange of goods and services
between the states (delivery of goods, performance of work or other services,
transportation of freight and so on).
G. D. Akhmadiyeva gives definition that the external
economic contract (contract) is a kind of the civil contract, possessing at the
same time the specific signs allowing to allocate the external economic
contracts (contracts) in separate group [4]. Special subject and object
structures of the external economic contracts treat such signs: contractors of
various state accessory act as subjects, object are the relations in the field
of foreign economic activity: foreign trade and foreign investment [4].
In my opinion the
external economic contract (contract) is a document, the establishing rights
and obligations of the parties, the main which place of activity is determined
by a place of registration.
It is possible to
allocate two main signs of the external economic contracts: 1) contents of
contracts - the relations in the sphere of foreign economic activity:
operations on export import of goods, services, results of creative activity,
operation on foreign capital investments; 2) belonging of the parties to
different state (national) systems.
In this regard it is necessary to allocate two groups of the
external economic contracts: household external economic contracts and
enterprise external economic contracts. As the main signs of the enterprise
contract it is possible to mark out profitability and commercial character of
the contract as the purpose of enterprise contracts is a receiving profit, the
income; commercial character of the enterprise external economic contract
consists in the conclusions of such contracts in the sphere of production,
trade activity and other economic spheres. Household external economic
contracts (contracts), and enterprise external economic contracts (contracts)
are characterized by specific features. Such contracts, first, possess special
signs of the external economic contracts (contracts) determined by us above:
special subject and object structures; secondly, these contracts differ on the
conclusion purpose: the household - for personal consumption, enterprise - in
the enterprise sphere for the purpose of receiving profit.
