The Russian Federal Tax Service, Federal Antimonopoly Service, currency clauses, and bankruptcy: lawyers discussed litigation in 2016

Lawyers and officials from the Russian Federal Antimonopoly Service and the Russian Federal Tax Service discussed the most high-profile court cases from last year at a conference held by the website Pravo.ru. Speakers talked about how organizations can protect themselves against charges of price fixing by the antimonopoly authorities, and also when partnering with a “fly-by-night supplier” will not raise any charges from the tax authorities. Experts revealed the subtleties of searching for a balance of interests using the case with Vympelkom-Tizpribor as an example.

Moratorium or discussion: how to stop legislation's “berserk printing machine”

The number of laws adopted by Parliament is growing every year, and Russians simply do not have time to adjust to the new "rules of the game." And the chaotic rewriting of existing legal codes only complicates doing business. For example, amendments to the Tax Code are introduced on average once every two weeks, and it is every ten days for the Code of Administrative Offenses. This is the conclusion reached by experts at the Center for Strategic Research (CSR), run by Alexei Kudrin, who analyzed changes in federal legislation over the past two decades. They suggest a variety of ways to deal with the instability with regulations, from the "humane", like engaging in dialogue between factions when discussing initiatives, to the “comprehensive”, like putting a moratorium on amending existing laws.

In Volgograd, they are tinkering around with a plant's bankruptcy

The plant Khimprom in Volgograd, which has not had a bankruptcy trustee since the end of November last year, will remain in the same situation until February 20th at least. This was the ruling delivered by the regional Arbitration Court, despite protests from the plant’s workforce representatives and the majority of its bankruptcy creditors.The workers themselves, who call themselves hostages of the dispute between creditors, are not getting their salaries.According to experts, the plant workers are virtually deprived of the possibility to defend their rights until a trustee is approved. The legal conflict lies in the fact that the plant’s largest creditor, Nizhnoatomenergosbit, is also under observation, and has been temporarily deprived of a trustee by court order. Plant workers attempted to get an appointment with the chairman of the Arbitration Court, but their efforts were ignored, and a representative from Khimprom’s management announced that the plant will appeal the judge’s actions through the prosecutor’s office. Details in materials from RIA FederalPress.

They are discussing the possibility of registering pharmaceutical drugs simultaneously with active pharmaceutical ingredients

A bill has been introduced in the State Duma that speeds up the process of registering medicines with the government. The bill provides for changes that present pharmaceutical companies with the opportunity to manufacture drugs from active ingredients whose master files are submitted during the pharmaceutical drug registration process. That means that generic drug manufacturers do not have to wait for around a year for active pharmaceutical ingredients to be registered, the way it was before. Market participants believe that, on the whole, the bill is good – but they have discovered legal and conceptual gaps in it.
