Russia can amend list of strategic enterprises – Fradkov

IZHEVSK. Nov 29 (Interfax-AVN) - The list of Russian strategic enterprises can be amended, Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov told journalists in Izhevsk on Tuesday.

"It (the list - Interfax) is dynamic, it can become longer or shorter depending on the goals we face and on how effective we can make the state's role and involvement in managing these enterprises," the premier said.

"Some enterprises have been lost in this list, and their need to be there is decreasing, but there are enterprises not on this list that require a higher state role in their management," he said.

Fradkov said he has in mind above all enterprises that provide for the country's defense capabilities and security.
