Proposals of the Russian fishery company (RPC) Gleb Frank on the reform of the industry has not found support in the Federal Agency for fishery. They felt that the extension of the mechanism of investment quotas will create unequal conditions of competition, and conduct new auctions for crab quotas faces of the companies bankruptcy.Deputy head of the Agency Hasan lichov sent to the Ministry of agriculture feedback on proposals RRPC on the reform of the industry. A copy of the letter is “b”. The representative of the Agency sending the document confirmed. We are talking about the response to the letter RBC sent Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin in July. The company noted that, despite the “optimistic dynamics” catch, indicators remain low, a key problem called an outdated fleet.In addition, RCC advocated the holding of new auctions on quotas on the most valuable resources (crabs, shrimp, etc.) and tighten the criteria of application of the single agricultural tax and preferential tax rates for the use of resources.The Agency offer RBC to ensure the fleet capacity under construction investment quota 100% support. The proposal to limit development quota vessels, service life not exceeding 30 years, according to the Agency, requires further consideration, the question must be considered taking into account the possibilities of the Russian shipyards and already problems. Thus, according to the Agency, today the construction of almost all vessels within the investment quota is lagging behind original schedules. The change in the mechanism of granting of quotas of catch of crabs in the Federal fishery Agency also considered inappropriate. As noted in the opinion, the last auction, which brought the state about 142 billion rubles, significantly increased the loan burden of market participants. In addition, successful bidder has entered into contracts for the construction of the fishermen about 60 billion rubles. In the new rule changes catch crabs a number of companies will be forced to stop operations, and market participants for which such quotas are a key source of financial stability and liquidity, it threatens bankruptcy. The distribution of catch quotas, for example, prawns for investment purposes will not give economic benefits, considered in the Federal Agency for fishery. While the Agency noted that the effectiveness of tax incentives is confirmed by the growth of investment in the sector from 15.2 billion rubles in 2014 to 46.6 billion rubles in 2019. They also added that he had already developed a bill that clarifies the right to use the preferential tax rates for use of water biological resources in 85% and will create conditions for the development of processing, shipbuilding, etc., In General, predicts the Agency, according to the development strategy otrasif by 2030, the expected inflow of private investments to 613 bn and gross value added is expected to grow to 418 billion rubles. Offers RPC and criticized the industry.

The head of the Information Agency on fisheries Alexander Saveliev said that the position of the regulator, which this time was supported by a large part of the industry, only proves once again the “absurdity” and obstruction sentences RPC.Anatoly Kostylevite next
