Opinion. Digital Future of the Russian food industry

Important and timely document was signed by Dmitry Medvedev - the concept of integrated translation assessment documentation (confirmation) of compliance of food products with the technical regulations in electronic form.

And immediately there were publications in which approved the project concept is equivalent to e veterinary certification poor start which still debating on different levels - up to the meeting with Vladimir Putin. Here, as they say, Apples, and in Kiev - Uncle.

Approved by the Government of the Russian Federation work plan for digitization assessment documentation (confirmation) of compliance of food products with the technical regulations and the failed project of electronic veterinary certification have between them only one thing in common - the word "electronic". With the same success you can declare equivalent aircraft and hospital, "duck", which are also called scientific vessel transmits Fishery.

What is the difference between these two documents? First, the basic approach to the object of regulation. Concept approved by the Federal Government on July 2, 2014 № 1213-p, is to "digitize" only the information and only those requirements that are contained in existing or planned to regulatory approval. Therefore, if in step 1 of Article 30 of the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union "On Food Safety" is written that "processed food products of animal origin is not subject to veterinary-sanitary inspection", then nobody needs to make in respect of such products veterinary-sanitary examination. Neither in paper or electronic form. But the new edition of the Ministry of Agriculture Order number 422 require exactly the opposite - vetsanekspertizy mandatory for processed products of animal origin. In accordance with Article 4 of the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union "On the safety of food products": "Processing (processing) - heat treatment (except for freezing and cooling), smoking, canning, maturation, acidification, Ambassador, drying, pickling, concentration, extraction, extrusion or a combination of these processes. "It turns out that frozen headless pink salmon (or any other fish), delivered to the port, is already processed food products and is non-veterinary-sanitary inspection. In case of the Government's vision and will, but it is not satisfied with the agency that sploshnyakom passes through its permits, the entire flow of fish.

By the way, about the agency and talk to the concept of the words: "To be able to implement some of perishable goods companies are forced to pay for services to accelerate the processing of documents of assessment (confirmation) of compliance of food products with the technical regulations." Rather not say.

government approval document now fall into the "reentry", where even the most beautiful ideas can squeeze all the juice. It is important that the list of performers action plan concept main executor defined CPS. It is also very important that in the concept clearly states that it is based on the disposal of the Government of the Russian Federation dated March 9, 2010 № 299-p. This order was determined by a "road map" for the liberation of Rosselkhoznadzor not belong to it functions. Knowledgeable people know what heartburn is still causing this order on Orlikov Lane. But the order has not been withdrawn from the control, and a direct link to it in the concept of electronic document food products shows that responsible for the fulfillment (or failure?) Of this order have.

And a few important notes about the concept of electronic document food. It would be voluntary, it will be implemented in stages in 2015 - 2020 years and it will not apply to commodity-supporting documentation. Incidentally, the latter circumstance also fundamentally different from the concept approved the extradition order unapproved veterinary accompanying documents. We

fork. Now there is a real opportunity, based on two important documents - orders of the President of the Russian Federation of July 3, 2014 № Pr-1568 and orders of the Government of the Russian Federation dated July 2, 2014 № 1213-p - to prepare the legal system act which will lay the legal platform for regulatory rules and procedures for the Ministry of Agriculture veterinary certification. Or another option - push another (seems eighth) version of the order of vetsertifikatsii.
