Russia’s mineral resource base development till 2035: control at the level of federal districts

Abstract

In this article, the author concludes that the institution of plenipotentiaries of the President in the federal districts is a legal tool of the President of Russia, which was created to facilitate the exercise of his powers in the federal districts, which can and should be applied in the process of monitoring the implementation of the Development Strategy Implementation Plan mineral resource base of Russia until 2035, even despite the fact that authorized representatives in federal districts are not indicated in the text of the Strategy as part of controlling persons. The territorial bodies of the Federal Subsoil Use Agency (Rosnedra), established at the level of federal districts, should be the conductors of this control: the provisions on the establishment of territorial bodies of the Rosnedra at the level of federal districts contain regulatory provisions that allow direct interaction with the Presidential plenipotentiary representatives in federal districts. In addition, Presidential Decree No. 849 of May 13, 2000, which established federal districts and plenipotentiaries, directly indicates the possibility of plenipotentiaries to monitor the implementation of orders of the Government of Russia — the Strategy was approved in the form of a government order.
