LEGISLATION

Aspects of central and municipal government control have been clarified

The Russian Government’s Decree No. 1234 dated 11 September 2024

Comes into effect on 21 September 2024.

Amendments have been made to the Russian Government’s Decree No. 336 dated 10 March 2022 concerning specific aspects of central/municipal government control. In particular, the possibility has been stipulated for:

  • a non-scheduled control/supervisory activity to be held:
    • with the approval of the prosecutions department, if facts come to light of entrepreneurial activity being conducted without a notification;
    • without notifying a controlled person, if risk indicators have been identified in relation to the mandatory labelling of products within the scope of federal state control/supervision in the field of protecting consumers’ rights;
  • additional situations in which work orders are issued based on the outcome of control/supervisory activities, without any interaction;
  • within mandatory preventive visits:
    • the inspector must, no later than 3 months from the date of the statement that the visit cannot be conducted, issue a decision to make a similar visit without a notification being sent to the controlled person;
    • conduct such visits within the time limit of 10 business days (with an extension being possible, but not beyond the established timeframes).

Also set out are the aspects of organising and performing state control (supervision) and municipal control if the regime of a counter-terrorist operation is enacted (the text is not provided).
