Out-of-Competition Granting of Subsidies to Budgetary Institutions as a Violation of Antimonopoly Legislation (Problems of Law Enforcement Practice)

Abstract

The problem of allocation by state authorities (local self-government bodies) of subsidies to state (municipal) institutions as financial support for the performance of state (municipal) tasks for the performance of works (provision of services) that are the authority of a state authority (local self-government body) is considered. It is noted that the possibility of granting such subsidies in accordance with the rules of budget legislation does not in itself mean that the relevant actions cannot have a real or potential negative impact on the state of competition. It is established that subsidization of budgetary institutions for the performance of works (services) that are state (municipal) needs, without conducting competitive procedures, entails unjustifiably granting a preferential position to the relevant institutions over other economic entities.
