more than 14 thousand points of growth in small towns and villages throughout russia are passionate about their first discoveries. the national project of education is what is important here and now. the new facility for traffic along the second main track on the modernized section of baikal of the amur mainline should be slowed down as

lokomotiv should be stopped, but in the end our development has only accelerated manufacturers and e, the purchase of equipment from friendly countries, the facilitation of its import , the construction of large industrial facilities, the introduction of innovation and development. senators visited the region, what is the scope of tasks? a social facility is needed; new housing is needed, and, of course, education is needed ; technical education specialized for those enterprises that are now being built; not only equipping equipment, but social and legal protection; all support issues; senators, what is needed, what is needed this time arrived straight to the front. now about the events that are of particular importance for

the country's economy, movement began along the second main route of one of the most heavily loaded sections of the eastern range. this is a segment in the khabarovsk territory, connecting the checkpoint station, the ninth kilometer and the kunte station start of movement in the teleconference mode. the chairman of the council of the federation and the head of the russian railways gave this railway section a part of the baikal modernization program of the amur mainline. and almost a year ahead of schedule. on the whole the modernization of the trans-siberian and baum will significantly increase the opportunities for increasing cargo transportation to and from asia. and it will also give an impetus to the economic development of the surrounding territories and an increase in the standard of living of the population of eastern siberia, transbaikalia and the far east, this is one of the clearest examples of what an upswing is. with what zeal our whole country is working today and how our society has consolidated, they wanted us. to slow down like a locomotive stop

to limit, but in the end our development has only accelerated and this is happening thanks to you dear railway workers and millions of our citizens throughout russia who know their business, know how and love to work and wish their country well-being and prosperity. and of course. today, i would like to congratulate the entire team of thousands of russian railways on being awarded the badge of honor of the russian federation for their achievements in work. let's congratulate our colleagues on our employees , i want to say that such an award, awarded so far to only a few labor collectives of russian railways, is among the first and, of course, so high. evaluation of work by the head

states, emphasizes the unique strategic importance of railways for the life of our country in general, and on the other hand confirms the successes that the industry has achieved. e in recent years. message from the president, uh, to the federal assembly. head of state. he outlined the need for an accelerated modernization of the trans-siberian railway and a woman now for railway workers is e. task number one, and each new facility of the eastern test site becomes another step towards strengthening the economy of our large country. this and new production capacity new jobs new business opportunities for the regions. many years ahead, valentina matvienko

thanked the builders-engineers for the designers of the leaders of the far eastern railway for the fact that they managed to complete the work almost twice as fast, providing the general director with a high quality of work. russian railways oleg belozyorov, in turn, noted that the accelerated modernization of the trans-siberian railway and the woman became possible thanks to legislative initiatives, which was supported by the chairman of the council federations valentina matvienko and oleg belozerov opened an exhibition dedicated to the day of russian railways in the upper chamber. the exposition presented priority projects in the field of railway construction. in particular, the modernization of lake baikal, the amur and trans-siberian highways. russian railways presented the concept of an interactive platform. eastern polygon bank 2.0, where it is possible to get acquainted with the history of the creation and development of this railway and its impact on the country's economy. another far eastern region, which was the attention of the senators is riveted, the amur region was visited by a delegation of the federation website during a working trip, the senators assessed how

transport links are organized along the international bridge opened last year, blagoveshchensk heihe and visited large construction sites in the capital of the region , a new road is being built across the river, zeya and a grandiose project called the golden mile, the parliamentary delegation was headed by andrey kutepov, chairman of the federation council committee on economic policy. we learn from him the details of the visit to reviktovich. how do you assess the infrastructure development of the amur region? and at what stage is the construction of new facilities now? good afternoon. well, as for the new bridge, it will be introduced in the near future. it's the end of this year or the beginning of next year across the river. uh, as for the border crossing, it will be introduced in october with a capacity of 2,000 cars, but with the activity of trade that exists now with china, we plan that it can be increased to six thousand cars, so all plans, what we are doing now we will make sure

that this will be a forward-looking increase. this is a passenger flow of cargo transportation. that is why the direction, with regard to relations with the republic of china, is probably the only place. in our country, where relations are so well established, if we assume on one of the sides. uh, namely from the russian side it is planned to build the golden mile embankment. it is, of course, on the other side. knowing about these plans. the same construction and the level of such an easy rivalry begins, probably, it just cannot but rejoice, therefore, there is always interaction between the two countries and a large number of investment projects that exist jointly. they cannot but rejoice and see. how will cooperation develop further? all this is reflected in the same crossings and border crossings that exist and it is planned that they will only increase, andrey viktorovich, with regard to the efforts of the federal authorities to support small and medium-sized businesses and develop public-private partnerships. as with

this is the state of affairs in the region, and also we are interested. at what pace is the gasification program being implemented in the amur region, with regard to e projects that the amur region is conducting directly within the framework of the state of emergency? formations that are expected to increase. e of the population is now up to 30%, for example, the city of e, free and the city of tsiolkovsky is waiting for account of the e-e need for jobs increase the population up to 30%. this , of course, indicates that we need social facilities, we need new housing, and , of course, we need education, specifically technical education for those enterprises that are currently being built, this is the chemical industry. this is the processing industry. this is

the our space complex, which is now located there, as regards, probably, all the projects that need to be discussed. now this is probably an increase in tourist flow, which we expect already in the second half of this year. it is necessary to develop not only new tourist destinations, but also the hotel industry, which is naturally required. again, an additional number of e specialized organizations that are professionally engaged in this, if we talk about development goals in terms of gasification of the region at the moment. that's 13% over two years. they plan to gasify up to 40% of the urban environment. and households that will be connected. this is 40%. it must be taken into account that the today, uh, this is probably the region that is most dynamic in order to be gasified, as a region that has never before had a connection to pipeline gas. we can say that at the moment this is all that is accepted.

uh, at the federal level, we were able to look directly at the ground. as it is embodied in life, it is not only transport crossings, which we talked about gasification. well, in general development of entrepreneurship of small business of medium business. it can be said that active work, which is being carried out by the government of the region and will give a positive result in terms of increasing, probably, competence and increasing tax collections. and of course, all this is reflected in the beautification and urban environment. the most important priority of the federation council has been and remains support, the military personnel are under the control of the senators, not only the issues of providing our soldiers in the zone with their necessary equipment, but also social and legal protection, some issues are being resolved. what is called in manual mode? its parliamentarians personally meet with our military volunteers and members of their families, we will discuss this important topic by senator vladimir poletaev vladimir vladimirovich hello and recently you

that we took the time to answer our questions. thank you thank you senators actively defend the interests of farmers in order to provide a quick and easy way to market their products, additional mechanisms for the sale of agricultural products were discussed in the chamber of regions at a meeting of the relevant committee. more about this, let's talk senator sergei mitin sergei gerasimovich. what will help farm produce faster? hits what would simplify its implementation today, the concept of a farmer refers to small and micro-enterprises, agricultural e we looked at. how many of them are registered today there are about 120,000, and there are also about 80-8,000 individual entrepreneurs, and this is the number of such small agricultural organizations. they provide, on average, about a quarter of the country's total economic output when we analyzed it. here is the composition of these 200.000 oe approximately agricultural

organizations, we will see that most of them are small micro-enterprises. yes two to two to ten fifteen people, of course. these people are mainly employed directly in the production of agricultural products or the cultivation of crop products. and when should i do it. eh, the import of trade is also a trend. it is rather disturbing to us that the number of markets, for example, where agricultural products used to be sold, is steadily decreasing. one more direction. there are chain stores. and it was just here that their number increased significantly , the number of sales through them increased significantly by law, and the development of small and medium-sized businesses and the law on the development of agriculture provided for the creation of special household cooperatives. so this is a worldwide practice. unfortunately, that's over the past 15 years of the work of these two

federal laws. the number of such household cooperatives also does not increase , and some additional incentives decrease. to that. no. all this is analysis. this one the situation showed us the need to create some new stimulating factors for the delivery of agricultural products to small and micro enterprises. household to the consumer tell me, what are these stimulating factors? what sales options do you mean, these are fair options - this is a market option. these are variants of agricultural cooperatives with households these are variants of self. uh, parishes chain stores options for creating some kind of marketing body between a chain store and an agricultural producer, which is conditionally today is called an aggregator. e, such two projects are already used today by network systems in two regions in lipetsk and

tula and have shown positive results. and that's all, that's what we, uh, are now trying to immerse in the draft federal law that we think. uh, able to change the situation for the better, but the first task there, of course it will. eh, to consist in the fact that the state should generally take on the function, er, of supporting the infrastructure of creation. and the operation of the infrastructure for marketing agricultural products e peasant farms and small agricultural producers. today, we are actively working with our colleagues on drafting such a law. in the near future, we will submit it for approval by the three main ministries, the ministries of agriculture, industry and trade and economic development , another event in which you took part. this is a round table where problems and prospects for the development of coastal fisheries were discussed. please tell us in more detail what conclusion did the participants of the event come to? artist

what, uh, just coastal fishing. it is also one part of this development of small and medium-sized businesses, because this type of fishery is usually used. small industrial fish enterprises that are located on the territory of the coastal regions of the russian federation are engaged in . here, too, there are a number of issues that we need to solve today, first of all, and here. the volume of aquatic biological resources that these enterprises, focusing on coastal fisheries , can use and some specific benefits privileges so that they can produce these products, the federation council must say that last year in the summer of last year it adopted a special law allowing, e, enterprises engaged in coastal fishing to carry out primary processing of fish on ships and vessels, which are are caught according to the coastal fishing quota.

this law has been adopted , the fishermen of the coastal regions thanked us very much today, but we have not looked at it enough yet. for a more complete development of market saturation, it is with this fresh, uh, products, uh, fish industry at the round table, we carefully considered all aspects, i can say that serious work will be very necessary here. the regulator, which is the ministry of agriculture and the federal fisheries agency, because each subject will still need some individual application standards. here is today's legislation. e, in the fisheries sector, the situation is fundamentally different, for example, in the murmansk region and the magadan region in the arkhangelsk region and the astrakhan region regions. eh, it's everywhere. uh, seas, there are fish resources, but everywhere has its, uh, natural nuances. and if today it is already possible to fish,

for example, in our middle and southern latitudes, then representatives of the khabarovsk territory spoke very characteristically at the meeting. there are also ice packs. and all this must be taken into account , and we have given such instructions to the regulator directly today. we will consider these issues at our future meetings. or on control and from such most topical problems and we will systematically work with this topic that will go the speech further affects the interests of the indigenous peoples of the russian north of siberia and the far east and concerns issues of traditional fishing in the state duma , a bill is now under consideration that proposes to amend the federal law on fisheries and the conservation of aquatic biological resources, the document is aimed at eliminating unnecessary administrative barriers, especially those , which complicate fishing by nomadic people, we will talk about this in more detail with

the author of the legislative initiative, the senator grigory grigory petrovich, tell us about the features of the new bill. why is attention focused on traditional fishing access to aquatic bioresources karina small people? we have here in the russian federation this story is very unfortunately long and we are on track. well , at least 30 years. uh, since the fact from the moment that with you, well, in general, in russia in russia they abandoned the nationality column in our passport, it was from that period that we faced the problem of what the state had to state bodies. it became impossible to identify. and how to say to issue targeted state support to indigenous people, and there is a rather large list of these issues, but this list also includes access to aquatic biological resources. here is the traditional fishing. today, our simple reindeer herders fishermen live hundreds of thousands of kilometers from the centers

of civilization in the tundra in the taiga in the far east on the islands of all kinds of traditional activities. this is a traditional economy, thanks to which people feed themselves, dress their children, provide in general, in their lives people are faced with the fact that these are the rules that were established 15 years ago. these are the declarative reporting principles, which are obligatory for ordinary reindeer herders. bokov became inaccessible to a fairly large volume of these documents, which must be processed in a short time. therefore, this bill, these amendments, we have been following this path for 10 years, exactly, together with the federal agency for fisheries and the federal agency for nationality affairs. we thought, how could we remove these points of tension and i must say that this is a bill, in fact. this is even a companion of this accompanying law, so in 2020 we managed to advance the law to implement it, and

the state registration of persons belonging to indigenous peoples. and this is precisely this state registration register. e, today it allows us to rely on those data to whom addresses need to be helped today to provide free access to aquatic biological resources, and in these amendments, it is said that this is a constitutional norm for the indigenous people today. guaranteed ethnicity is guaranteed to preserve its ethnic identity in remote territories. we will be able to rely on state accounting, and then people, having. here is a document on hand stating that they are in the register. they will be able to fish freely according to the quota or rate that will be established by the subject itself, and then we will remove the great administrative pressure on the people on which they find themselves today. in addition, there are points. uh, in this in these amendments, also on the alignment. uh, general

economic status of indigenous communities peoples. why, in your opinion , the need for this initiative arose right now , the need for a long time and we were only looking for ways to solve it. uh, starting from 11 years back in the sixth and then the seventh convocation of the state duma. we e were the initiators to return the column in the passport then we create a system of references, then save the inserts, some subjects had inserts in the passport about nationality. and when we saw that none of these amendments passed. we ourselves were the initiators of this state register, and i personally traveled through all the subjects, legal seminars were held, and we proved, first of all, to the indigenous people themselves, that it is necessary to enter this state register in the register only for, uh, who needs access to, uh, traditional fishing, so that the reindeer breeder rybak does not

go anywhere, does not suffer with these certificates, and that he is not persecuted. they are not boats by helicopter, no one came and forced them to do any documents so that he could, as according to the testament of our ancestors, preserving his customs in their territories to be reindeer herders, fishermen , hunters, so that he can feed himself and his family. the development of transport infrastructure and the transportation system in the new conditions are under the special control of the federation council. these issues are dealt with in detail by the council for the development of the transport complex, created last year under the upper chamber. what are the priority questions that we now learn from senator valery vasiliev valery nikolaevich about the difficulties that the russian auto market has faced? changed to rough the enterprise was attended by representatives of the ministry of economic development, the ministry of finance, the ministry of labor and social protection, as well as leading industry associations and commercial companies.

what are the main problems and ways to solve them? the development of infrastructure and transportation is always on the agenda of our committee on economic policy. this time it was about trucks . it is on them that a lot of the sector of our economy depends, especially now, when we have to renew build a logistical frame from the side in the first place from the range of goods on the shelves of our road transport stores depends on the well-being of citizens. this is the most mobile and existing species, it is he who is the link between the enterprise-exporters-importers. and especially there is a lot of door-to-door delivery, and the problems that carriers face in the face of sanctions pressure are an aging fleet of vehicles that needs to be updated, a lack of tractors and trailers, and light trucks and expensive spare parts, especially for imported cars, and most importantly, the most important shortage of personnel is the lack of professional truck drivers. especially for international

transport , about five percent may already affect the industry in the near future. the fleet is idle today due to lack of drivers. many market participants noted that there are no problems with drivers in the city. but the work of a trucker. today , more stringent requirements for personnel, expensive training, and undeveloped roadside services are not attractive. yes and simply harsh working conditions, especially in the northern regions, and these are systemic problems that one business cannot solve , the state needs help, including, in terms of training programs, it is necessary to train drivers to raise the prestige of the profession and improve working conditions , only the totality. e factors allow to solve this problem. has the market adapted to the new economic conditions? what measures of state support were promptly implemented and what measures are still needed e, russian truck manufacturing enterprises,

of course, they faced certain difficulties, but they are solved moreover, if earlier, for example, on the same kamaz only 50% of the components were russian -made, then literally in a year this figure has already grown to 75%, representatives of kamaz assure that by the end of the current already 85% of the components will be localized. and this is a very high performance another point has grown uh, the cost of a new car and the information of transport companies. there are not enough cars, that is, the domestic auto industry cannot fully satisfy. uh, demand all the cars that are still being produced by kamaz have already been sold a year in advance. and the deficit always leads to an increase in the cost and the price of spare parts for foreign equipment has also increased. in addition , european brands have ceased to supply components to our market, the fleet of trucks in the country is getting older. these are also systemic problems that require an integrated approach. what is an integrated

approach and is it the stimulation of russian manufacturers and the purchase of equipment from friendly countries, the facilitation and import of certification and optimization of procedures parallel import. the senators will touch upon the improvement of the mechanisms for drug provision for patients with severe chronic diseases. consider the topic of procedural legislation and legislation of legal proceedings. bypass the legal regulation of the sphere of passenger transportation and the use of domestic software. a large group of senators headed by the heads of committees will visit karachay-cherkessia and hold an off-site meeting on the issues of the integrated socio-economic development of the republic we continue to follow the most important events in the federation council. see you in a week in the senate program.
