it 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 1,000-strong staff of the russian railways on being awarded the badge of honor of the russian federation for their achievements in work. let's congratulate colleagues thank you in our. i want to say that so far only a few labor collectives of russian railways are among the first to deserve such an award and, of course, so high. the assessment of the work by the head of state emphasizes

the unique strategic importance of railways for the life of our country as a whole, 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, accelerated by the modernization of the trans-siberian railway and the woman now for the railroad. this is the number one task, and each new object of the eastern range becomes more. one step on the way strengthening the economy of our large country, this is both new production capacity and new jobs new business opportunities for the regions for many years, forward 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 , while the high quality of the work of ceos. russian railways, oleg belozyorov, in turn, noted that the accelerated modernization of the trans-siberian railway and the woman was made possible thanks to legislative initiative, which was supported by the chairman of the council of the federation valentina matvienko and oleg belozerov, opened an exhibition dedicated to the day of russian railways in the upper house. 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 the interactive platform for the eastern polygon. 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. more one far eastern region, which attracted the attention of the senators, 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 river, zeya and a grandiose project called the golden mile is being implemented, the parliamentary delegation was headed by andrey, chairman of the federation council committee on economic policy kutepov. we learn from him the details of the visit to reviktorovich. 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 6,000 cars, so all the plans that we are making now, we will make sure that this will be a promising increase. this is the psg of the traffic flow. 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 begins the same construction and level such an easy rivalry, probably, cannot but rejoice. therefore, there is always the interaction of 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 those step border crossings that exist and it is planned that they will only increase andrey viktorovich as regards the efforts of the federal authorities to support small and medium-sized businesses and development public-private partnership. how things are with this in the region, and we are also

interested. at what pace is the gasification program being implemented in the amur region, with regard to the projects that the amur region is conducting directly within the framework of the state of emergency? formations that are expected to increase. e population is now up to 30%, let's say a city uh svobodny and the city of tsiolkovsky expects, at the expense of e-e, the need for jobs to increase the population by up to 30%. this , of course, indicates that we need social facilities, we need new housing, and , of course, we need education , technical education specialized 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 currently

located there, as far as the projects that need to be discussed are concerned. now this is probably already an increase in the 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, you are 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 40%. it is imperative to take into account that at the moment, uh, this is probably the region that is most dynamically 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. how does it come to life. these are not only transport crossings, which we talked about gasification. well, in general, the development of entrepreneurship of small and medium enterprises entrepreneurship. it can be said that the active work being carried out by the government of the region will give a positive result in terms of increasing, probably, competence and increasing tax collections. and of course, all this is reflected in the improvement of the urban environment. the most important priority of the federation council has been and remains support for military personnel under the control of senators. not only the issues of providing our fighters with the necessary equipment in the zone, but also social and legal protection. some issues are being resolved. what is called in manual mode for this parliamentarian personally meets with our military volunteers and their families, we will discuss this important topic, senator vladimir poletaev vladimir vladimirovich hello. good afternoon, and recently you met in lugansk with participants from

of farmers, in order to provide a quick and easy way to market their products, additional mechanisms for the sale of agricultural goods were discussed in the chamber of regions at a meeting of the relevant committee. more about this, we'll talk to senator sergei sergei gerasimovich. what will help farm products get to the shelves faster. what legislative initiatives will simplify its implementation today , we have looked at the concept of a farmer and small and micro enterprises in agricultural power. how many of them are registered today, about 120,000, they also include about 88,000 individual entrepreneurs, and this is the number of such small agricultural organizations they give. uh, on average, about a quarter of the country's total agricultural output when we analyzed it. here is the composition of these 200,000 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 engaged in the direct production of agricultural products or the cultivation of plants-voticheskoy products, and i have no time to do it. at the same time, such a trend is also sufficient, alarming us that the number of markets, for example, where it used to be sold, agricultural products are decreasing invariably another one. uh, one direction. there are chain stores. and just here the number of them increases, the number of sales through them increases significantly by law, and the development of small and medium-sized businesses and the law on the development of agriculture provides 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. that this situation showed us the need to create some new stimulating factors for that's right, the delivery of agricultural products is not enough. and agricultural microenterprises to the consumer tell me , what are these stimulating factors? what sales options do you mean, these are fair options - these are market options. these are options for household agricultural cooperatives, these are options for self-sufficiency. uh, coming to chain stores. options for creating a certain sales body between the network shop and agricultural producers, which today is conditionally 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 in general should take over the function. uh, support for the infrastructure in creation and operation of the infrastructure for the marketing of agricultural products by peasant farms and small agricultural producers. today we are actively working with colleagues on the formation of a draft of such a law in the near future we will submit it for agreement with the three main ministries, the ministries of agriculture, industry and trade and economic development. another event in which you took part was a round table where problems and prospects for the development of coastal fisheries. please tell us in more detail what conclusion the participants of the event came to, artist that uh, just coastal fishing. it

is also one of the happiness. here is the development of small and medium-sized businesses , because as a rule , small industrial fish enterprises that are located on the territory of the coastal regions of the russian federation are engaged in this type of fishing . here, too, there are a number of issues that we need to solve today. first of all, and here is the definition of the volume of aquatic biological resources that these enterprises, specifically, focusing on coastal fishing, can use and some certain privileges so that they can produce these products, the federation council must say that last summer last summer it adopted a special law allowing . uh, enterprises engaged in coastal fishing to carry out the primary processing of fish on ships and vessels, which were poured in precisely according to the quota of coastal fishing , this law was adopted very much thanked us

today the fishermen of the coastal regions, but we have not looked at this enough yet for a more complete development of the market saturation with these fresh, uh, products of the fish industry, at the round table carefully, considered all aspects, i can say that here seriously it will be very necessary to work, the regulator, who is the ministry of agriculture and fishery, because each subject will still need some kind of individual application standards. here is today's legislation. uh, in the fisheries sector, the situation is fundamentally different, for example, in the murmansk region and the magadan region in the arkhangelsk region and e, astrakhan authorities. 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 dams. and all this must be taken into account, and such instructions are appropriate for the regulator in the form of fisheries today. dali we will consider these issues further. our meetings are set to control over a number of these most pressing issues and we will systematically work with this topic, which will be discussed 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 currently under consideration, which proposes to amend the federal law on fisheries and the conservation of aquatic biological resources , the document aims to eliminate unnecessary administrative barriers, especially those that complicate fishing by nomadic people, let's talk about this in more detail with the author of the legislative initiative, senator grigory lyatkov grigory petrovich

, tell us about the features of the new bill. why is attention focused on traditional fishing access to aquatic bioresources by karina small people? we have here in the russian federation this story is very unfortunately long and we are on track. well, no less, probably 30 years, er, from that fact. from the moment you and i , uh, well, in general, in russia, in russia, they refused the nationality column in our passport precisely since that period, we have faced the problem of what the state government agencies. e became impossible to identify. and so to speak, to issue targeted state support, 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 of our simply reindeer water fishermen live hundreds of thousands of kilometers from the centers of civilization in the tundra in the taiga in the arctic in

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

to indigenous peoples. and this is precisely this state registration register. uh, today it allows us to rely on those data to whom addresses need to be helped today to give them freedom of access to aquatic biological resources and in these amendments, it is said that the indigenous people today. yes, this is a constitutional norm, guaranteed ethnicity is guaranteed. here is the preservation of their ethnic identity, and in remote territories. we will be able to rely on state accounting, and then people will have. here is a document on hand stating that they are in the register. they will be able to fish unhindered according to the quota or rate that will be established by the subject himself, and then we will shoot a big administrative pressure on people, which they are today. in addition , there are points. uh, in this in these amendments, also on the alignment. uh, the general economic condition of indigenous communities

. why do you think the need for this initiative has arisen right now ? uh, starting from 11 years back in the sixth and then the seventh convocation of the state duma. we e were the participants of the initiators of the return. column in the passport, then we create a system of references, then save inserts, some subjects had inserts in the passport about nationality. and when we saw that none of these amendments passed. we ourselves initiated this state register, and i myself 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 account in the register only for, uh, who needs access to uh, traditional fishing, so that the reindeer herder rybak does not go anywhere, does not suffer with these certificates, and so that he is not persecuted. uh,

they are by helicopter not by boat, no one came and forced them to do any documents so that he could, as per the testament of our ancestors, preserving his customs in his territories, be reindeer herders, fishermen, hunters, so that he could feed himself and his family. the development of transport infrastructure and the transportation system in the new conditions is under special control. the federation council deals with these issues in detail, created last year under the upper house of the council for the development of the transport complex. what questions are now among the priorities we learn from senator valery vasiliev valery nikolayevich spoke about the difficulties faced by the russian road transportation market at the round table event, 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 issues of infrastructure development and transportation are always on the agenda of our committee on economic

policy, this time it was about truck transportation. it depends on them a lot of sectors of our economy, especially now, when we have to re-build the logistical framework of the side, first of all , from road freight traffic depends on well-being. citizens assortment of goods on the shelves of our stores, road transport is the most mobile and existing types, it is he who carries out communication between enterprises , exporters and importers, and especially door-to -door delivery, there are a lot of problems, and the problems that carriers face in conditions of station pressure is an aging fleet machines that need to be updated and a shortage of tractors and trailers, yes, and hammer 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 is not very attractive more stringent requirements for personnel expensive training. undeveloped roadside service, and simply harsh working conditions, especially in the northern regions, are systemic problems that one business cannot solve. the state needs help, including, in terms of training programs, it is necessary to train the driver's staff, raise the prestige of the profession and improve working conditions, only the totality. e factors allow to solve this problem adapted. economic conditions what state support measures were promptly implemented and what other measures are needed. uh, russian enterprises for the production of trucks, of course, faced certain difficulties, but they are solved moreover, if

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

manufacturers and the purchase of equipment friendly countries, facilitation and importation from certification and optimization of parallel import procedures will affect excellence. mechanisms for drug provision of patients with severe chronic diseases will consider the topic of procedural legislation and legislation on judicial proceedings bypassing the legal regulation of the sphere of passenger transportation and the use of domestic software with the heads of committees. they will visit karachay-cherkessia and hold an off-site meeting on issues of a comprehensive 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.

we watch to know everything about russia , we watch the best historical series for free without registration. traffic on the m4 don highway was fully restored due to heavy snowfall. the traffic jam in some hours reached 100 kilometers.
