It will help ensure the country’s food and technological security and save jobs.
The project coordinator was Sergey Morozov, vice-chairman of the United Russia faction in the State Duma, the head of the public council will be the director general of Rostec corporation Sergey Chemezov — they were presented at a videoconference with representatives of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Federal Antimonopoly Service, society and chambers of commerce and industry of the Russian Federation , public organizations, business and regional ER branches.
“There are several tasks to be solved: the first is to preserve jobs, the second is to meet demand. The third task outlined in our people’s agenda is to ensure Russia’s food and technological security. In the context of sanctions, we must create the most favorable conditions for an effective antitrust policy, stimulate public competition on the domestic market, engage citizens in entrepreneurship and self-employment, he said.
In turn, Sergei Morozov said that the work of the party project will be carried out in twenty areas — sports, medicine, children’s and food products, communication, automotive, air transport, the oil and gas sector, space industry, textile industry, agriculture, consumer goods, culture and entertainment, gastronomy, online shopping, finance, construction, energy, logistics, software. This list can be expanded.
“We need to create the production of goods and services that are not inferior to the world. Create a unique protectionist law to promote our products, our goods not only in Russia but also abroad. Our project aims to protect the rights and support entrepreneurs who consolidate around them social organizations, non-profit organizations, authorities, active citizens — he emphasized.
One of the key directions of the party project will be related to the development of Russia’s information sovereignty. This will help replace resources that exert direct, overt information pressure and manipulate the Russian internet cluster, said Artem Kiryanov, deputy chairman of the State Duma’s Economic Policy Committee.
“We should not have a quality gap between government services and commercial services. It is necessary at least to get to the best counterparts of the international standard. As far as possible to do better, ”he said.
The participants in the videoconference also focused on the topic of drug delivery.
“Russian manufacturers have the technological capacity to produce 405 international generic names that are on the list of essential and essential drugs. Russian pharmaceuticals are a good example of import substitution today. Pharmacies sell about 60% of domestic drugs in packages. They are absolutely identical in quality, efficacy and safety to drugs manufactured in Europe or the United States. The devices in our factories are often more modern due to the fact that they were built in the last 10 years, said Yevgeny Nifantiev, a member of the Industry and Trade Committee of the State Duma.
The topic of the work of the party project in the field of production of children’s goods was also discussed. As the coordinator of the Strong Family party, first vice-chairman of the State Duma Committee on Family, Women and Children, Tatiana Butskaya, said, it will be built on the principle of a «one window» to which parents will be able to apply with any question. Currently, the main task is to ensure the availability of breast milk substitutes, as there is a very high demand for it.
“We have production plants in friendly countries: Iran, Turkey, China. And we need to certify. Because if something happens to logistics from hostile countries, this certification lasts from 6 to 9 months — explained Tatiana Butskaya.
The main import position of the Chechen Republic is food products and agricultural raw materials. In this part, the region may establish cooperation with representatives of the CIS countries, said Isa Bisayev, chairman of the Committee on Budget, Banks and Taxes of the Chechnya Parliament, chairman of the Regional Control Commission of the Chechen branch of United Russia.
“We have had very good crops in recent years, we have positive preparatory work in the agricultural sector, including increasing the sown area. The regional government has expressed its readiness to cooperate with companies producing baby food, food and building materials, and agricultural machinery — a mutually beneficial platform has been provided for this — the Grozny Special Economic Zone. It is the only industrial zone of the industrial-production type in the North Caucasian federal district. Its residents will receive appropriate benefits, preferences and support. We expect the cooperation to be quite effective, because under the sanctions conditions, many companies have suffered from a violation of logistics and long-term communication with customers and need a fresh start with new opportunities, said Isa Bisaev.
The United Russia initiative to create an import substitution project was supported by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. The agency is ready to provide studies in the field of IT systems development for producers and customers. They will enable the quick conclusion of new contracts and the construction of production and supply chains to replace those lost as a result of the imposition of sanctions.
In conclusion, Sergey Morozov said that Opora Rossii, Delovaya Rossija, the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry will become public partners of the new United Russia project.
