The Finance Ministry proposes the White house to solve the problem of “sanctions” — certain types of food from Europe, including schoolchildren, banned in the course of the campaign “kontrsanktsy” in 2014, and, more broadly, in General, prohibited for circulation in the Russian consumer products is creating a separate government Commission. The draft decree of the government about it, published by the office for public comment, recognize the main problem of implementation Contracting measures of the Russian Federation insufficient coordination of actions of officials. For its overcoming the Finance Ministry proposes to create a coordinating body at a high level. The proposed design must free officials from the extensive correspondence, which delays the approval of certain decisions — instead, they will be adopted by voting at meetings of the Commission. Information and analytical support of this work the Ministry of Finance offers to download the FCS.The Finance Ministry proposes to create a separate government Commission for countering trafficking and turnover of goods in respect of which the prohibitions and restrictions. The draft government decree about it was prepared and published by Department for regulation.gov.ru. The main problem of the fight against “zapresheno” the Ministry of Finance, according to the explanatory note to the project, sees the lack of consistency of the actions of officials and that “the development of the required solutions” bogged down in simultaneous correspondence from a large number of agencies.The General design of interagency cooperation the Ministry of Finance sees the following: the Commission headed by one of Vice-premiers will be the coordinating body of struggle with “zapresheno” the government will produce a concerted effort and unified approach for their implementation, as well as proposals which then will be submitted for consideration by the White house. The need for written approval of certain decisions to prevent the importation of “thepresence”, apparently, will disappear — they will be taken directly into meetings, vote, and then will become mandatory for all involved in the work of state bodies. In case of equal votes the decision is taken, voted for by the presiding officer, the dissenters will be able to present in writing their objections, which will be reflected in the minutes and report to the Prime Minister.Recall that in 2014, the government in pursuance of decrees of the President after the first wave of international sanctions against Russia due to the annexation of Crimea has adopted extensive lists of “thepresence”, which hit mainly food products from Europe (“ban ham and Parmesan cheese”) and the United States. Later bans were imposed on goods from Ukraine and Turkey (in the latter case it was removed when the exhaustion of vneshnepoliticheskie��one conflict). Fully implement the ban to the White house and failed — the import of sanctioned goods continued, while products that eventually “infiltrated” in Russia, destroy: since the beginning of the embargo to the end of 2019 seized and destroyed 32.9 thousand tonnes of prohibited food. However, reports on identification of such goods on the shelves appear so far.In this regard, the Russian authorities have repeatedly raised the issue of strengthening control over imported goods to prevent such supplies — December 2019 the Finance Ministry proposed to give the FCS the right to equip mod the cars involved in the work of mobile groups on struggle against smuggling of “sanctions”. In reality, due to the lack of customs borders between Russia and Belarus, a significant part of these goods were imported through the country, through re — export. Bothered the White house and the question of entering the Russian market for the same reason, the WTO goods imported into Kazakhstan — the country joined the organization later Russia and its import tariffs on a number of items of the commodity nomenclature below, however, to ensure the charging of “costs” to the Russian level in the absence of customs between the two countries was difficult. One of the initiatives discussed in the framework of the Eurasian economic Union (EEU), had the idea of coordinated control of movement of goods from the customs of the “five” in addition to the agreement on the mechanism of traceability of goods in the EAEU, which does not oblige the customs service to automatically share information (see Kommersant dated 20 February).In the creation of a new government Commission, the Ministry of Finance said that it would require “full and prompt access to information and analytical array”, on the basis of which officials could assess the influence of various factors on the efficiency of countering the smuggling of prohibited goods. The organizational and technical support activities of the Commission proposed for the FCS, which will accumulate the necessary information.The relevance of strengthening the fight against trafficking “of thepresence” the Finance Ministry has not commented on, explaining the development of the project from Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, and the question as to whether the market is in a nearly closed to international traffic and falling incomes, not discussed. The document is officially published the relevant Deputy head of Department of customs policy and alcorence Finance Minister Alexei Volkov, urgent (without notice) order of discussion of the project approved by the Secretary of state of the Ministry of Finance Alexey Casanovy.Improving coordination of combating “zapresheno” to separate government Commission, note, success in b��Ribe with ideologically unseasoned food does not guarantee. Thus, simultaneously with the introduction of counter-sanctions, the government Commission on import substitution, despite the high status, in the first years of their work as well stuck in internal approvals possible substitutes of imported items in large investment projects of companies and subsequent revisions of the projects themselves. In the end, the White house was forced to reconsider its position, opening the possibility of establishing a sectoral quota for public procurement of import to ensure that profitability at least a separate, modernized industries.Yevgeny Kryuchkov, Oleg Boots
