Prime Minister Vladimir Putin chairs a meeting of the Russian government
“The government’s recent initiatives, which have resulted in amendments to legislation, clearly establish the duty of specialists in the power industry to form seasonal fuel reserves and perform scheduled maintenance on equipment. A special law, On Heat Supply, has been adopted. According to reports, preparations are going according to schedule this year.”
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin expressed the hope that in his new position Vyacheslav Volodin will use the positive management experience he gained in his posts in the Saratov Region, the State Duma and the United Russia party.
The discussion focused on roaming service fees, which the prime minister had earlier instructed the FAS and the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media to review. The heads of the two agencies told Mr Putin that roaming fees would be heavily cut from December 1, and some companies would do it even earlier.
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin makes a speech at the Pure Water International Forum
“It has become increasingly apparent that we need to hold a broad discussion and elaborate uniform approaches to water management. It is extremely important to avoid a one-sided position in this respect. Water is a key component of the environmental balance of the planet, and it’s a symbol of mutual understanding and interdependence in the world. The conservation of water resources directly depends on a responsible, mature position from every country, without exception.”
