July 3, 2009 State Duma of the Russian Federation approved the third reading amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses (Administrative Code) submitted on behalf of the Government of Russia the head of the Federal Antimonopoly Service Igor Artemyev.

We expect the amendments to the law discipline the officials and executives of companies that violations on their part will be smaller, while small businesses will be more opportunities for the development of their business, - believes Igor Artemyev.

The amendments include the introduction of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Violations several formulations of administrative violations in the placement of the state or municipal order to ensure efficiency of the bidding and protect business entities participating in such tenders.

In particular, are encouraged to establish administrative responsibility for:

- Orders for non-delivery of goods, providing services from small businesses: Nedroblenie lots in the interests of small businesses will be punished by a fine of 50 thousand rubles, - said Igor Artemyev.

- delays the return of money and the rights of bidders on an electronic site;

- continued action to place the order if the placement of such order is suspended in accordance with the laws of the Russian Federation;

- failure data on a state or municipal contract.

In an environment where small businesses get loans is nearly impossible, and the interest rates on them are too high, the importance of enhancing opportunities for participation of small and medium-sized businesses in the bidding, - considers the head of the FAS Russia.

The MPs also supported the idea of FAS Russia about disqualify up to three years of officials of economic entities occupying a dominant position in the commodity market and are abusing this situation. The measure of administrative responsibility may be used as an alternative administrative fine, - considers Igor Artemyev.
