George Poltavchenko: I to governors not the chief.
George Poltavchenko: I to governors not the chief.
Sergey KREDOV.
The PLENIPOTENTIARY of the President of the Russian Federation in Central
Federal district George poltavchenko has visited edition "RG",
To answer questions of our readers.
- George Sergeevich, you spend many the exit
Meetings in different areas TSFO. What you see in it
Advantage?
- We spend not only exit meetings, conferences,
Working meetings, but also sessions of Council of heads
Subjects TSFO. This practice of completely justifies. Why?
First, we managed to achieve restoration and development
Integration communications between regions. Secondly, and it
Very important, we managed to develop Moscow faced to district.
The capital of Russia has possibility really to invest in
Economy of other regions. Here a fresh example. On one of
Sessions of Council of heads we have accepted the program of the housing
Buildings in district. It is literally one of these days within the limits of this
Programs the mayor of capital Jury Luzhkov and the governor Yaroslavl
Areas Anatoly Lisitsyn have signed the agreement, agree
To which Moscow will construct a half-million of the square in Yaroslavl
Habitation metres, and also five hotels in limits "Gold
Rings ". About hundred millions dollars of investments will be
It is directed to the Yaroslavl area. Are ready to signing
Similar dogovory on Tambov, Kaluga, Kursk, Smolensk
And to some other areas. Our program is calculated not
For one year. On tentative estimations, during
The next ten years in this sphere it will be possible to master 5-6 billion
Dollars.
Thus, besides the important social problem -
Maintenance of the population with habitation, a number of others will dare also.
Building materials after all will not carry from Moscow, them will be
To make in territories. In regions it will lead to expansion
Taxable base, to creation of new workplaces.
The whole complex of problems dares.
Other example. The company which gets for is created
Boundary agricultural machinery on the basis of leasing. Soon from Germany to
To us 100 modern combine harvesters will arrive.
They will start to work in southern regions of district.
To deal with district problems, it is necessary these problems
The nobility. Therefore I also try not less often, than once a week, to leave
In any region. First of all - there, where
There are problems and where there is a potential for more successful
Developments.
- In what regions you happen more often?
- Willingly I come, for example, to the Kaluga area. And not
Only because it it is close from Moscow. It is compact
The region possessing in quite good potential. The local governor, on
My sight, - it is modern the conceiving person aimed on
Concrete result. In the Kaluga area it is a lot of
Problems, but there quite good rates of growth, and the main thing, it is a lot of people "with
Spark ". Heads of region - not without our help -
Successfully enough involve investments, and into the real
Economy sector.
We spend interesting experiment about Obninsk. There
The technopark, that is network of the enterprises based on is created
High technologies on which to the full it will be possible
To use highly skilled experts,
Living in Obninsk.
Other region extremely interesting to me - Tambov
Area. One time it was considered backward, but, I think,
The reason consisted in an inefficiency of a former management.
Present governor Oleg Ivanovich Betin, in my opinion,
The person very qualified both as the manager, and as
The economist. It has protected recently the thesis for a doctor's degree. Betin
It is adjusted on concrete business, on lifting of economy of area. On
Tambovshchine there are real points of growth. It would be desirable to help
To such people.
There are, of course, regions more difficult in which it is necessary
To leave for the decision of any sick problems. But always
It is more pleasant to go there where the life "is in full swing".
- As you estimate job of district managements
Law enforcement bodies? Why management personnel Geprokuratury on
TSFO recently have reduced almost three times?
- This decision is caused by the objective reasons. Though me
It afflicts. The new Criminally-remedial code
Increases loading by workers of Office of Public Prosecutor. Therefore devices
- Not only district - are reduced so that
To approach public prosecutors to local courts where they will be now
To support charges on 100 percent of affairs. I hope, that with
Time all will return into place. In my opinion,
Divisions of the State Office of Public Prosecutor in federal districts
Most effectively itself have shown. And as regards reduction
The regional legislation in conformity federal, and on
To concrete criminal cases, especially what carry
Inter-regional character.
I would tell about other district law-enforcement structures
So: they on a correct way. Some (for example, a central board
Tax police) have only just passed a formation stage.
About one year the Central administrative board of internal affairs works on
TSFO. There there are interesting affairs. Anyway, job,
Which is conducted today by these divisions, at me not
Calls the serious criticism. Their role is especially considerable at
Investigation of serious affairs which are beyond
Separate regions. The district rather effectively works
Management of customs committee.
- In your opinion, the plenipotentiary has enough today powers?
Or it would be desirable any else?
- Our powers follow from four problems, which in
The decree from May, 13th, 2000 the President has put before plenipotentiaries.
I will remind. 1. Maintenance and carrying out external and internal
Politicians of the President in district territory. 2. The control for
Execution of the legislation and decisions of the supreme bodies
The state authorities in territory. 3. Personnel selection
The president in territories. 4. The control and timely
Informing of the President on a status of national safety on
Territories.
For the decision of these problems we are allocated by certain functions.
Within the limits of these functions of powers quite suffices. However
Many people try to present us chiefs over
Governors. It not so. In all our functions it is written:
"Promotes", "promotes", "participates" and so on. We -
Partners of governors in the decision of many questions, and before
In total connected with increase of well-being of the population. And
At the same time we carry out the control over processes,
Which go in regions, that nadregionalnye structures, in that
Number law-enforcement, could interfere in time and
Absolutely legitimate methods to correct a situation.
Let's tell, there were serious contradictions between Smolensk
Area and the Russian Open Society "United Power Systems". To an area management was
There is no time to solve them. It was necessary to be connected to us. In my opinion, we
Have effectively enough fulfilled, anyway not
Have admitted infringements of legitimate rights and interests of citizens. Not
The governor and its command, and citizens. The main thing - is effective
To use available possibilities. If it is not present, it is possible
To receive ten times it is more than powers, and to sense will not be.
- As you inform the President on a status of the national
Safety in the district? Write reports, report
Orally? Also what "national safety" enters into concept?
- There is such document which is called: the report
The plenipotentiary about a situation in federal district. In him
There is a section devoted to questions of maintenance
National safety. The concept includes very many,
Beginning from military safety and finishing questions
Ecology.
If there is a problem which demands at least
Attention of the President I make the corresponding document. And
Or it I direct by mail to the President, or I report
Personally also I offer the decision of the given problem. After that
It gives corresponding instructions.
- Whether inflow of foreign investments to regions increases
The central Russia? Your assistant V.N.Kichedzhi recently
Has told, that, under its forecasts, growth this year, on
To comparison with previous, will make 15-20 %. It is real figure?
- Let Vasily Nikolaevich also will respond.
V.N.Kichedzhi: last year a total sum of the foreign
Investments into economy TSFO made approximately 6,5 billion
Dollars. I believe, that this year we will reach level
7,3-7,5 billion. The investment climate is influenced by many
Factors. For example, constrains foreigners absence in Russia
The normal share market, and also that circumstance, that
Our businessmen do not hurry to put up money in
Own economy. At the same time for last two years considerably
The legislative base, and the western investors it has improved
Mark. In many regions of the central Russia
The mechanism of subsidising of the credit rate from the local is used
Budgets, that too is stimulus for business development.
The main problem, in my opinion, today - in a lack
Real business projects. In their any area it is literally
Units.
- George Sergeevich, in your address has arrived much
Questions from various regions of district. Some we now
Let's sound. On the others, we hope, our readers from yours
The device will receive written answers.
- Certainly.
- And so, the inhabitant of Bryansk, a Cand.Econ.Sci.,
Results some facts, which, from its point of view,
Have caused a damage to the regional budget and should interest
Bodies "financial investigation". In general from Bryansk has come much
Angry questions.
- For some reason for Bryansk the desire of some citizens is characteristic
To force me to punish the governor. I on it have no right.
If it has offended someone (to me the such arrived also
Letters) there is a civilised form of the permission of the similar
Conflicts - a reference to the court. The message which has arrived from
The reader, we will necessarily study. Probably, it in the competence
It is not so much "financial investigation", how much bodies
Tax police.
- Question from our reader from Voronezh: "the Law on a turn
The agricultural purpose earths it is accepted, to argue
Late, however governors of Central Black Earth areas
Continue to state fears, that earth repartition can
To threaten with heavy consequences. In particular, created
Agroholdings can lose the earths if proprietors begin
To withdraw the plots. Whether you divide these fears? As
To minimise a possible damage, smoothly to enter this law?
What can make the state bodies on places? "
- We very seriously discussed this document at a stage
Project developments. Many our offers have been considered,
For example, in a part, concerning sale of the earth to foreigners.
Notice, earth purchase and sale goes for a long time, only
The state, citizens of benefit from it did not receive. The basic
The law problem - to put things in order, deduce these processes of a shade.
To enter the law it is planned gradually, with the account
Features of each region.
As to heads of large agroholdings, many
From them still recently, 2-3 years ago, were supporters
Free turn of the earth, and today owing to circumstances
Have turned the opinion on 180 degrees.
- Question from Ryazan: "At us in a city have put in order
Streets. Said, that there will arrive the President. And it has then appeared, that
It was joke poltavchenko ".
- It was not a joke. In the spring I came to Ryazan and Kasimov.
At press conference two cities have asked to compare me.
I have sincerely told, that Ryazan very much is pleasant to me, but
Roads to it are worse, than in Kasimove. After that have begun
Motions in respect of reduction of a road economy of a city in
Appropriate status. Then there was a moment when it was planned
V.V. Putin Rjazani's visiting. Visit has not taken place. However the authorities
Areas and cities to it prepared. I think, rjazantsy
Only have won from this history.
- As far as we know, you like to play basketball.
How much time can get to a ring from a line penal successively?
- In a youth when was engaged professionally, got
25-27 times.
- You of not "piarite", do not untwist in a press, and yours
Workers on places, apparently, imitate you. To us inform,
What is from them avoid meetings with journalists. Ostensibly
There is a circular according to which such contacts are possible
Only after the coordination with your device. It
Really so?
- I do not consider myself as the politician. I am
The political official. Therefore I do not see necessity for that,
More often to flash on screens of TVs, on pages
Newspapers. If the President tells to me - go and tell in
Mass media, that you do every day, I
I will begin these to be engaged. Though it is improbable, that such commission
Will follow. The official, even political, has not the right
To make comments on decisions of the chief. But to explain, that
Stands up for this decision, it is obliged. And I willingly do it, when
To me address for such explanations.
Before my subordinates both in Moscow, and on places costs
The problem to inform the population that becomes the device
The plenipotentiary of the President. Each of them is obliged
To tell, than he is engaged on the place. And in the same
Time is given them instructions without the coordination with the plenipotentiary not
To make comments on events occurring at federal level.
Differently, the interdiction for dialogue with the press is not present. Any
Sanctions for this purpose it is not required. But there are requirements of the office
Ethics which cannot be broken.
Sergey KREDOV has prepared.
