Prosecutors: Protect Business

The General Prosecutor’s Office has issued recommendations on protecting the rights of business in areas such as government inspections, procurement, and registration and licensing procedures. The document calls the level of corruption in Russian government “unacceptably high,” and states that it often takes the form of inspections that exceed lawful authority. One example cited was a regional government’s incentive to employees of 50% of above-quota fines collected for administrative violations. The recommendations are on the web site of the General Prosecutor’s Office (http://genproc.gov.ru/documents/nauka/document-35/) and have been issued in 1000 printed copies.
