The Ministry of communications has proposed to reduce the storage capacity on the so-called law Spring ten times – the Radio station ECHO of MOSCOW

About the same time the Deputy head of the Ministry Alexey Volin said on a panel at the open government, which was considering a petition to repeal the law. Earlier it was supported by more than a hundred thousand people. The petition was eventually rejected.

the anti-terrorist Package of amendments prepared by deputies of the state Duma Irina Yarovaya and Senator Viktor Ozerov, was signed by President Putin last summer. The law obliges mobile operators to keep all records of calls and any messages sent between users within six months and information about these calls and messages for three years.

a Fierce debate on an issue that has long worried the public and the business community of today did not come. Maybe because in the beginning of the discussion, Deputy Minister of Telecom and mass communications, hastened to lower the level of discussion. Alexey Volin reported on the proposed Department of corrections in the law. Key — significant reduction of the amount of information storage and gradual transition to increased shelf life, said Alexei Volin. He said that the agreement with the security forces on this occasion achieved, and the Agency is trying to find a balance between the interests of the security of people and cost industries.

However, during the meeting of the working group, the representative of MTS Ruslan Ibragimov said that even a reduction in storage capacity almost 10 times does not change the situation for a large company-operator.

Unreasonable the law may say, the chief editor of the newspaper “Moskovsky Komsomolets” Pavel Gusev.

At the meeting of the working group chaired by the Minister of open government Abyzov became clear that Telecom operators can’t communicate with law enforcement. And, accordingly, are not yet able to clearly understand what was expected of them by the security forces. The communications Ministry promised to facilitate contact.

In the end, the petition to repeal the law Spring was rejected. But promised to modify certain provisions of the document. Including the state Duma, the working group proposed to consider the issue of the exclusion of the expanded interpretation of the concept of “missionary activity” in the law.
