Gosvetkontrol - in one hand

Last week a meeting of the State Duma of the Russian Federation on Agriculture, which was devoted to the discussion of priorities for legislative support agricultural development.

Present at the meeting, the Chief Rosselkhoznadzor Sergey Dankvert noted in his speech that in order to guarantee the output of the domestic food production to foreign markets requires harmonization of veterinary legislation Russia and potential importing countries with a view to ensuring maximum preference regime for Russian exports , as well as the implementation of measures to ensure the well-being of the territory of Russia for particularly dangerous animal diseases.

enough big role in this work is intended to play a draft federal law " On Veterinary Medicine ". Unfortunately, said S. Dankvert , the bill retained the position , according to which the implementation of the state veterinary supervision (control ) will be carried out as a federal executive authorities and executive bodies of subjects of the Federation in the form of delegated powers . This will only aggravate the situation is extremely unfavorable to ensuring biological and food security is a result of the administrative reform in 2004 .

According to experts , it is necessary to transfer authority to the state veterinary supervision entirely on the federal level.

According to the press service of Rosselkhoznadzor , another negative trend is that the federal level is divided between a number of departments, which, of course , does not provide the same level of approach to the anti-epizootic measures on the territory of Russia . Unless the relevant decisions will lead to disastrous consequences in the field of bio-security of the country in general and agriculture in particular.

« Thus , the bill is necessary to provide for the restoration unitary structure of the State Veterinary Service , under which local veterinary necessarily fulfill orders of the federal authority , and at the federal level, there is no division in the departmental veterinary services . In addition, under the proposed bill veterinary certification is required , including , in the case of transportation of natural persons of certain types of animals for purposes not related to entrepreneurial activity ", - stated in the communication department .

Rosselkhoznadzor particular concern are the attempts to transfer all the functions of the state border veterinary and phytosanitary quarantine of controls at checkpoints across the state border of Russian Federal Customs Service of Russia.
