Fishermen canceled a planned check

the Law “On fisheries and conservation of aquatic biological resources” includes new norm about possibility of implementation of Federal state control, state supervision in the field of fishery and preservation of water biological resources without routine inspections.

they decided to Cancel because of inefficiency. Thus, according to the Agency for 2018 was held 1168 scheduled inspections. Their results were only 631 violation. However, during the same time period was conducted almost 100 thousand RAID events in which identified nearly 103.5 thousand violations.

“In most cases, enterprises which carry out scheduled inspections in advance take all necessary measures for hiding failures (temporarily decommission intakes and spillways, off line, to ensure the delivery of contaminants are removed from vodoohranoy zone equipment and fuel, etc.). Thus, in the framework of planned inspections is often impossible to identify obvious violations of environmental legislation”, – explained the Agency.

However, the abolition of routine inspections does not weaken state supervision, but on the contrary – it will increase, stress in the office. In their place will come a sudden and more effective raids. That will allow more focus on the fight against poaching. Work on the roads in Rosrybolovstva promise to strengthen the employees that were involved in scheduled inspections. The emphasis on road inspections will also promptly respond to information that comes to the Agency from citizens. As a result, the raids will be carried out exactly where there are clear violations of the rules of fishing and protection of aquatic resources.

the Agency reminded that the raids may be conducted jointly with representatives of the Ministry of internal Affairs of Russia, PS FSB of Russia, Regardie. The detection in the course of the raids direct violations of citizens, individual entrepreneurs, officials and legal entities bear administrative liability in accordance with the koapp.

Approved the changes to the fisheries act will improve the efficiency of state supervision and, ultimately, to improve the level of protection of aquatic resources. “Systematic presence of inspectors on the waters of the reservoirs will also be a preventative measure to prevent violations in this sphere”, – stated in the explanatory note to the bill.
