❗️The RPN does not have enough powers to exercise control over objects that have a negative impact on the environment. These powers will be expanded. Deputy Prime Minister Abramchenko informed President Vladimir Putin about this today.

The Ministry of Natural Resources has already prepared a bill to expand the powers of the on-load tap changer. “We were faced with the fact that some companies do not allow inspectors into enterprises, suddenly the emissions suddenly end and the air becomes “clean” in these cities, there were many stories that interfere with the normal operation of the on-load tap changer”she said.

☝️“This must be done absolutely. Of course, we are talking about de-bureaucracy of the economy, the fight against unnecessary control measures. But there are things that we need to pay special attention to and ensure that decisions are implemented.”– Putin reacted.

Another issue is effective influence on violating enterprises, which the Head of the RPN, Svetlana Radionova, constantly mentions. Fines do not solve the problem. And so the President reminded about such methods of influencing violating enterprisessuch as restrictions on the payment of dividends, turnover fines. “There are some pretty tough things. But if our colleagues from industry know about them, then there will be no desire to circumvent the decisions made. This can be a significant help in solving issues of nature conservation, ecology, and public health. I ask you to think and present such solutions”– Putin turned to Victoria Abramchenko.

As for Clean Air activities, quotas for all facilities have been communicated to companies by December 3; they have three months to come up with plans to achieve the targets. After this, comprehensive plans to reduce emissions will be adjusted in the first quarter of next year.

😎After such specific statements, it becomes clear that the Service will soon reach a definitely new level in its conversation with natural resource users. Brushing off the on-load tap-changer as if it were an annoying fly may cost you more, and sending an inspector (there have been cases) will no longer be possible. So the year ends on a high note for Rosprirodnadzor. Unless the bill is deliberately stalled, otherwise it will be inconvenient for the President
