“We've dramatically changed the very procedure for considering investor applications. Many of the formalities have been simplified and excessive approval requirements have been removed. Thanks to the adoption of a whole number of amendments, foreign companies have now gained wider access to the food, medical and mining industries, as well as to the banking sector.”

“It’s imperative that we preclude the emergence of new barriers instead of the ones that we are about to remove. <…> In this regard, I suggest that a final, exhaustive list of construction-related administrative procedures should be adopted at the federal level.”

“I would like to emphasise that we need a modern information and communication environment for our administrative, including government, agencies and society, an effective system of interdepartmental communication that will rid us of excessive paperwork and red tape. I would like to ask the Ministry of Communications to prepare proposals on introducing common algorithms for computerisation of our ministries and departments within the next month and provide a performance evaluation system for each particular department within the next two months.”

“Construction investment projects in Russia remain one of the most complex problems in the world. The number and duration of Russian licensing procedures is unfortunately greater and longer than in other countries. According to the data of international organisations, a Russian license requires 53 procedures or 540 days, while an average OECD license requires 16 procedures or 166 days. The difference is clear.»

“I’d like to focus on one more issue on the agenda, which is an extended term of technical conditions for connecting to the utility facilities of new residential buildings. <…>It is necessary to maximally simplify the existing procedures and rules at every stage, from the registration of a land plot as a building site, approval of a project, to the connection of a new home to the utility facilities. I mean the whole range of issues connected with simplification and lifting of administrative barriers in construction.”

“By July 1, 2012, all of the government bodies in the regions and municipalities must adopt the electronic interaction system. I emphasise that July 1 is the deadline. We expect that some regions – where work is in progress and the proper information base is available and the channels work – will complete the work much sooner. We are considering allocating 670 million roubles from the federal budget annually to support such regions.”

“We have conducted an in-depth inspection of the state’s oversight and surveillance functions over the past two years and removed many administrative barriers in education, healthcare, agriculture, construction, and some others. <…>Last year we approved the concept for forming the single national accreditation system. They proposed establishing a shared body vested with the requisite authority in this area. Today we will look into regulations governing the work of such a body, namely the Federal Accreditation Service. It will be engaged in establishing rules for professional organisations regarding certification, test labs, and expert organisations.”

“I am asking you to render all possible assistance to your colleagues in the regions and above all to focus on the technical exchange of information with the federal and municipal authorities. The principal task is to ensure a maximally comfortable situation for the people who should know what they need from officials and what those officials can demand from them. Every procedure must be simple, understandable and, most importantly, completed on time”.

“On July 1, 2012, a system of electronic interdepartmental interaction should also connect the regions and municipalities. By that time, we must create – and we will create – a comprehensive system covering the entire country, which will then operate efficiently”.

“All federal authorities will adopt a new system of operation, which will entail the use of electronic communication for all interaction, on October 1. What’s the concept? When people come to a state agency – a federal one in this case – for a reference or some other document, officials will no longer send them to other agencies for additional information but will themselves have to request it and then issue the requested document”.
