NGO Legislation to be Liberalized

The State Duma (the Russian parliament lower chamber) approved President Dmitry Medvedev amendments to the Law “On Non-Commercial Organizations” (also known as “non-government organizations,” or NGOs). The amendments simplify the reporting of existing NGOs and the registration procedures for newly established ones. This refers only to domestic NGOs; foreign NGOs are still toughly regulated. Now, to enter into force, the law must be approved by the upper chamber and signed by President.
