The interaction of regions and businesses with resource supply organizations (RSO) was discussed during a meeting of the regional investment headquarters, which was held by First Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov.
The staff meeting was also attended by Alexander Shokhin, President of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, Alexey Repik, Chairman of Delovaya Rossiya, Sergey Katyrin, President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Alexander Molodtsov, Director of the Department of Labor Productivity, Protection and Promotion of Investments at the Ministry of Economic Development, and Ilnar Mirsiyapov, Deputy Head of the Secretariat of the First Deputy Prime Minister.
"The work has been launched, and the first results have already been obtained. The regions feel it, the business sees it. Contacts and clear rules of interaction between resource supply companies, entrepreneurs and entities are now being established. The time and volume of required documents are reduced in the regions due to several projects within the framework of the regional investment standard. This includes the lean End–to-End Investment Flow project, interdepartmental work, and establishing personal contacts between all participants in the work to attract investment to the region," Andrei Belousov emphasized.
Thus, in the Orel region, due to changes in internal regulations for working with businesses, it was possible to reduce the time required to obtain a construction permit by eight working days. The approval of the connection of enterprises to the road infrastructure accelerated by 26 days, and the connection to the water supply – by 35 days.
The task of reducing the time required to connect businesses to the grid is being solved in close cooperation between relevant departments: the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Construction, Rosreestr, the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Economic Development.
"Agreements on cooperation between investment development agencies, federal and regional resource supply companies have been developed. This made it possible to reduce to zero deviations in the algorithms for connecting businesses to networks within the framework of the regional investment standard. The time for receiving information from companies has been shortened, and the rapid exchange of information on capacities and the possibility of technological connection has been ensured," said Murat Kerefov, Deputy Minister of Economic Development.
Regions include RSO employees in investment standard institutions. Thus, representatives of Rosseti participate in meetings of investment committees of 36 regions to resolve disagreements between business and administration. Andrey Belousov instructed to introduce such cooperation in all regions.
The Ministry of Economic Development, together with the Rosatom State Corporation, is implementing the lean End-to-End Investment Flow project in seven regions. It is aimed at optimizing all procedures that an investor faces when implementing an investment project.
