Regulations for the supervisory authorities are tightened

Since July 1, 2017 restrictions when performing municipal control are imposed by the Federal Law «On Amendments to the Federal Law «On protection of rights of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs when performing government control (supervision) and municipal control» and the Federal Law «On strategic planning in the RF» of 03.07.2016 №277-FL.

It is provided by the Law that the functionaries performing municipal control are not entitled to:

  • - ask from economic entities documents or information (including permission documentation) that is already available in the government or self-governing authorities and subordinate organizations. The list of these organizations is defined by the Government of the RF;
  • - ask from economic entities documents or information before inspection starts.

Acquisition of such documentation before inspection is possible only under the information interaction between departments.

Functionaries of a supervisory authority are not entitled to control the fulfilment of prescriptions of regulatory documents that are not provided to mandatory application according to the Russian legislation.

Besides, it is provided by the law when performing planned investigation to use check lists that must be developed by all the government or municipal supervisory authorities in accordance with general requirements of the Government of the RF. Answers to the questions of the check lists should let make a firm conclusion about compliance of an examined organization or an individual entrepreneur to the mandatory requirements that are subject of obligatory inspection.

In cases of planned inspections by several supervisory authorities at once, check lists also can be used.

Filled check lists are obligatorily applied to the inspection acts.
