The CPS would like from 2021 to completely abandon the planned inspections. Consumer protection will be provided by unscheduled inspections and through the prevention of violations. Businessmen support the initiative, but fear of the growing number of control measures of other types. They note that the de facto burden on business is not reduced and the risks now associated mainly with administrative investigations. To solve the problem, according to experts, could the digitalization of control and supervision in this area.In 2021, the CPS proposes to cancel all scheduled inspections of producers of goods and services — performers, sellers, authorized organizations and individual entrepreneurs, importers and owners of the marketplace, should be published on regulation.gov.ru the draft resolution of the government. Now the cases in which the scheduled inspection in sphere of protection of the rights of consumers are not conducted, are not set by law. In practice, the number of such checks has dropped drastically from 73,7 million in 2012 to 3.1 million in 2018. At the same time they have become more efficient — a measure of the number of violations to the total number of inspections rose to 3.05 in 2018 from 2.4 in 2014. as an alternative mechanism of protection of the rights of consumers CPS now proposes to limit unscheduled documentary and field inspections and conducting test purchases. Simultaneously, the service intends to concentrate on prevention by raising awareness among entrepreneurs.Member of General Council of “Business Russia” Sergey Goebel notes the importance of service initiatives and hopes that the abuse and arbitrary interpretation of data in its implementation will not. “The numbers of CPS on the efficiency gains can be explained by the fact that the checks were there, exactly where there have been violations to spend budget money on a fruitless check makes no sense, he says. For predpremerny events is clear, if there is any malfunction. And if the information is already there, why go in? It is possible to punish within the framework of supervision”.According to first Vice-President “Support of Russia” Vladislav Korochkina, the number of planned inspections do repeatedly declined in recent years. The obligation to hold them for Rospotrebnadzor remains obviously wants this obligation to remove himself. “But to replace the need to control modern media — digitalization should cancel everything scheduled and unscheduled inspections,” said he, “Kommersant”.Vladislav Korochkin fears a possible increase in the number of checks that are inconsistent with the Prosecutor’s office, i.e. administrative investigations. The interlocutors “Kommersant” noted that, in practice, the rejection of planned inspections can result in ROST other types of control (raids, monitoring, and control of procurement and administrative Affairs). In the end, the administrative pressure upon business only grows. Their fears confirmed by expert data: in the years 2016-2019 the number of unscheduled inspections of Rospotrebnadzor increased by 14.5% (see “Kommersant” on March 19).According to the report, the business Ombudsman Boris Titov for 2019, the fifth part of the fines according to results of control actions of the CPS occurred in the administrative investigation. The service has not yet managed to introduce the principle of “prevention as the first punishment,” she’d warned, only 12% of cases, while for MOE, the figure is 68%. These data confirm the conclusions of the accounting chamber on results of check service in 2017: the function of inspections of the CPS boils down to imposing fines, not to prevent violations, he pointed out gokudera.The experts of the Higher school of Economics in the recently published report “Regulatory and corruption risks in the sphere of state regulation of activity of subjects of entrepreneurship” note that possible measures of reducing the regulatory burden needs to be paired with the digitization of the sector. Note that a digital platform for entrepreneurs “business” effectively and not earned (see “Kommersant” on 20 November 2019). The abuses still going on “in manual mode” and depends on the decisions of individuals, indicated by the experts.Diana Galieva
