The Ministry of Economic Development, the Ministry of Finance and the Federal Anti-Monopoly Service criticized the import substitution program of the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media
Today, June 30, the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media will submit to the Government a draft resolution on the restriction of government procurement of foreign software. The latest version of the document states that this is necessary “in order to protect the domestic market of the Russian Federation, develop the national economy, and support Russian producers”. From 2016, government agencies will be able to buy foreign software only under the following conditions: there are no programs of the required class in the registry; There are programs, but they are not suitable for technical specifications; information about such software or procurement is a state secret.
However, the Ministry of Finance and the Federal Antimonopoly Service did not agree with such restrictions. The Ministry of Finance proposes to give the opportunity to acquire foreign software in order to "refine, expand or renew licenses for software they already use." If this is not done, then additional funds from the federal budget will have to be spent, according to the department. FAS fears that in an attempt to circumvent the restrictions, government agencies will specifically indicate in tenders such functions that are not implemented in Russian software. FAS also proposes to introduce uniform prices for software from the register of domestic software throughout the country. This will prevent further price increases.
The departments were not able to come to a common denominator in these matters, so the bill will be submitted to the government with a table of differences.

“Most of the tenders are for the extension or expansion of the functionality of the systems already used. They do not even consider the possibility of transition to domestic solutions. However, the renewal of licenses, their additional purchase and system refinement sometimes cost no less than the introduction of Russian products, ” Yevgenia Vasilenko, executive director of the OTPP software , told Kommersant.
Earlier, the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade opposed the initiative of the Ministry of Communications on the creation of an autonomous non-commercial organization (ANO) to finance the developers of domestic software.
"Megamind" wrote that the Ministry of Communications has already prepared a detailed list of projects under the program of import substitution. To implement all the projects from the list, the department asks for 18 billion rubles. Project implementation is scheduled for a period of 10 years. The Ministry of Communications and Mass Media plans to receive this amount in 3-5 years.
However, the Ministry of Communications has not proposed a mechanism for further funding. Therefore, neither the prospective budget expenditures, nor the estimated number of employees, nor the timing of project implementation can be assessed, explained to Vedomosti in the Government. The statute of the ELN provides for entrepreneurial activity, but does not describe the further use of the income received. In addition, the assessment of the cost of the ANO Ministry of Economic Development considers overvalued. Government grants should go only to the salaries of developers, explained the Minister of Communications Nikolai Nikiforov.
Among the possible sources of financing Nikiforov mentioned the anti-crisis fund. “Sources may be different. But we believe that this is one of the most important infrastructure investments in import substitution, ”he said.
