The results of the regions’ progress were announced during the conference “The Reform of Control and Supervisory Activities: A New Quality of State Control in the Regions”, organized by the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia in cooperation with the Analytical Center at the Government of the Russian Federation from February 21 to 22 of 2018.
The target model “Exercising control and supervisory powers in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation” was approved by the Order No. 147-r of the Government of the Russian Federation on January 31, 2017 and provides for the implementation of 8 target indicators of improving control and supervisory activities by the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Its implementation was synchronized with the implementation of the priority project “Improving the quality of the implementation of control and supervisory powers at the regional and municipal levels" set by the program to reform the control and supervisory activities and designed for the period until the end of 2017.
All indicators of the target model and the priority project have been implemented in four directions: regulation of control and supervisory activities; publication of mandatory requirements for the implementation of all types of regional control (supervision); introduction of a risk-oriented approach; automation of control and supervisory activities.
At present, the target model has been implemented in 86% of the Russian Federation. The indicators were the highest in the areas of publishing information on the types of regional control in the Internet (98%), the approval of administrative regulations (97%) and the preparation of proposals to the federal government on the seven priority types of control and supervisory activities (96%). Automation of control and supervisory activities was less successful: on the priority types of regional control, it has reached 92%, on the non-priority types of control – only 63%.
According to the Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Savva Shipova, improving regional control is one of the most important directions of the reform of control and supervisory activities. “Regional control accounts for almost a quarter of all inspections carried out in the country. Thus, it should be developing with due account of all those trends that are being implemented at the federal level within the framework of the control and supervision reform. Despite the fact that the implementation deadline of the priority project was limited to 2017, the work to improve the control and supervisory activities in the regions will continue in the future as well,” the Deputy Minister said.
