MOSCOW. July 30 (Interfax-AVN) - A working group of the Russian State Council board will complete drafting the Basics of Russian State Industrial Policy in December this year, Perm region Governor Yuri Trutnev, who heads the working group, said on Wednesday.
Nearly all ministries, the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs and various scientists will be involved in the drafting of the document, Trutnev told Interfax-Military News Agency. The working group's first session is scheduled for August 20.
Asked whether working group members are planning to coordinate their work with the government, in particular, with Deputy Prime Minister Boris Alyoshin, who has promised to submit its own industrial policy concept soon, Trutnev said they exchanged opinions on the issue during Alyoshin's recent visit to Perm.
"Our positions have a lot in common at the moment. There is a feeling that it's possible to create a common document," he said.
According to Trutnev, the document may accumulate all the proposals, including those from the government.
"It is of key importance to me to make a program of actions that will help speed up Russia's economic development, not just another document. It is not important what and whose proposals it will contain. The most important thing is to make the document work," he said.
Trutnev noted that "industrial development cannot be controlled by bureaucratic methods, it is not enough to write a paper to make it continue."
"Industrial development is always facing competition. It depends on many factors, and it should be controlled. Russia so far does not have such a control system," he concluded.
