uncomfortable Service
to optimize the cost of public administration offered in the Finance Ministry to discuss the main parameters of the budget for the years 2016-2018 (there are at the disposal of RBC ). On Wednesday, they will consider the Commission on Budgetary Planning, chaired by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, told RBC government officials.
As explained RBC Deputy Finance Minister Maxim Oreshkin, this issue has been included in the government’s anti-crisis plan, approved by the Prime Minister in January 2015. “Now the preparation of the next three-year budget, we continue to talk about the need to introduce more stringent restrictions on spending gosupravle n s », – he said.
Among the measures – refusal of services increased comfort for civil servants. According to Oreshkin, supposed “quite seriously limit the use of the [officials] business lounges of airports and business-class aircraft”, “limit the transport service, such as abandoning the personal driver for certain categories of civil servants, by clicking, for example, for service trips.”
Also, the Finance Ministry proposes to consider the scope of the areas of buildings required to house the federal government. “Some departments have excess space, and you can optimize, reduce maintenance costs,” – said the deputy minister.
No insurance, no vacation
In addition to cars and VIP-lounges, officials may lose and some state guarantees. According to the law “On civil service” state employees and their family members are entitled to additional medical and social insurance, as well as a one-time grant for the purchase of premises.
Cutting these benefits also have a number of proposals in the Finance Ministry, said Oreshkin “As we offer state guarantees to optimize the costs of medical, sanatorium, housing and welfare support».
Also, a reduction may fall within the duration of paid leave. Today, government officials, heads of law identified in the release of 45 calendar days for ordinary civil servants – 40 days. “The duration of holidays for public servants exceeds mid-. We believe that it is possible to add an additional five calendar days of the order, depending on years of service to the normal release, as defined by the Labour Code “, – said the official Finance . According to the TC paid leave to employees defined in 28 days.
Dismiss 10%
In addition, according to the proposals should continue already announced at the beginning of the year 10 per cent reduction in employees of government agencies. Speech on new reductions are not talking. “The task that would bring it to the end”, – says Oreshkin.
It is necessary to “see what specifically will be reduced,” the deputy chairman of careful Duma Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building Dmitry Vyatkin. According to him, in the case of reductions in those departments that are not really loaded with work – is another question. But if you come mechanically and simply reduce the costs by 10%, it will not achieve the desired effect or bring harm. “Reduction in defense and law enforcement will not lead inevitably to the effect,” – MP fears.
Officials on «Volga»
In 1997, the First Deputy Prime Minister Boris Nemtsov was appointed, previously held the post of governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region (where the Gorky Automobile Plant) . Soon after his appointment, he said that officials should go to the “Volga”. This initiative has not been implemented, but occasionally reminisced about her and himself Nemtsov, and other policies. So, in 2008, Nemtsov said: “My suggestion then in the nineties has not been implemented because Yeltsin rode a” Mercedes “.” He suggested that if Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev agreed to transfer to domestic cars, the other officials to follow suit. According to the property declaration of 2014, Putin owns GAZ-M21, GAZ-M21R and “Niva”, and Medvedev – GAZ-20 and GAZ-21. But it is their private property, and the emergence of domestic car service garages heads of state have not yet been reported.
100 thousand and a half million
In April 2013, Alexey Navalny posted on the website “Russian Public Initiative” petition, which proposed to ban officials from the budget to buy cars worth more than 1, 5 million rubles. The petition gained over 100 thousand. Votes and was automatically get into the State Duma in the form of a bill. But in practice, this did not happen. In December 2014, the Director of the Fund’s fight against corruption Roman Rubanov told the newspaper “Vedomosti” that the petition on the basis of a government resolution was issued. But officials, according Rubanova, found a way to circumvent the ban – they have not to buy and rent a luxury car. In July 2013 a deputy from the Popular Front Vyacheslav Lysakov submitted to the Duma a bill banning officials to spend on the purchase and lease of cars more than 3 million rubles. In November 2013 the bill adopted on first reading, the second reading but has not yet taken place. In February 2015 Lisakov said that work on the document continues – in particular, it is planned to introduce an amendment prohibiting costly tuning initially inexpensive machines.
Shy Regions
In early June, a group of deputies of the State Duma, which included representatives of all factions, announced the preparation of a bill prohibiting regional authorities to spend budget funds for informing citizens on their activities. “In fact, we want to prohibit the governors engaged in PR”, – he explained one of the authors of the document, MP Alexander Burkov. In the PR value of 1.5-7.5 mln. officials offer a fine in the amount of 100-300 thousand. rub. or sentenced to forced labor or imprisonment for up to two years. If the officer will spend more than 7.5 million rubles., The amount of the fine will rise to 500 thousand. Rub., And the term of imprisonment – up to five years. The idea of limited “image” costs governors actively discussed throughout 2014.
Not all politicians approve of this idea. So, the head of “political expert group” Konstantin Kalachev complained that “the governors indicated again and point to their place.” He added that without the support of the authorities will not survive most of the regional media, which offer the audience point of view different from the position of the federal TV channels.
From Duma without a parachute
In April, the State Duma deputy from the “United Russia” Mikhail Starshinov introduced the bill deprives unscrupulous deputies and officials of the so-called “golden parachutes”. It is proposed to prohibit the guarantees established for retired deputies and officials, those whose powers were terminated due to failure to comply with restrictions and breach of duty. In mid-June the Liberal Democratic Party announced that it is preparing an amendment to the bill. According to the deputies of the LDPR faction, from the “golden parachutes” should give up completely. They emphasize that it is especially important in connection with a possible transfer of the Duma elections in December to September. If you do not change the law, all the early sacked MPs will qualify for compensation. “Some MPs and so bummed all these years, not working or in the boardroom or in a committee or in a secured area. What has to pay? For doing nothing? “- Said a member of the Liberal Democratic Party Yaroslav Nilov.
Q justice
According to Oreshkin, the proposed optimization “at the macroeconomic level would not be of great importance to reduce costs – this is more a matter of social justice and transparency in the system of remuneration.” So far, he says, “the solution to the last detail to be worked out.” “We need to start to work out details of his government and form an exhaustive list for optimization,” – he calls.
The State Duma will be directly involved in the discussion prior to consideration of the budget in the first reading, promises Vyatkin.
In February abandon the purchase of goods and services increased comfort decided to Moscow. According to the capital’s anti-crisis plan for the whole year will not be bought that does not belong “to the priority and urgent needs».
To do this, an interdepartmental working group at the level of Deputy Mayor Natalia Seguninoy constantly monitors all major purchases, he said, RBC head of the economic policy and development of Moscow Maxim Reshetnikov. “Generally speaking, we are on the logic of standardization of procurement by presenting to them the demands that we are functionally necessary. And anything beyond that should not be “- he said.

The news caused a wide resonance. The ministry explained that the furniture purchased for home receptions MIA in Serebryany Bor and must comply with the requirements of the protocol. In September, the newspaper “Vedomosti” has learned that, despite the scandal, the Interior Ministry is still secured a seller (LLC “Office Comfort”) and make a purchase. In September 2010, the story had an unexpected sequel: the site of the Arbitration Court of Moscow was registered lawsuit “Office of comfort” to the ministry. Details of the dispute were not disclosed, but the amount in dispute (4.2 million rubles.) Roughly coincides with the sensational price of the lot. Two weeks later, the lawsuit was withdrawn without explanation.
