Today's entrepreneurs are definitely not included in the category of those who live well in Russia. The difficult economic situation, the tightening of tax legislation, the high rates of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, lack of working capital and increased competition create additional tension in the business environment.
According to statistics, this year at least 15 thousand small and medium-sized businesses are closed every month, which is an anti-record in the entire history of the observation. It is not for nothing that the position of the Russian Ombudsman remained vacant for almost four years. Protecting business rights in today's conditions has become a difficult and impractical task for everyone. Helping entrepreneurs and providing a reliable and strong shoulder in the existing situation takes the form of a large and complex job that requires professionalism, responsibility and sometimes correction of previous approaches.
Only a few years ago, businesses could rely not only on the abilities of qualified defenders, but also on the potential of an inter-ministerial working group consisting of representatives of the Attorney General's Office and the Business Commission. However, the activity of that group was prematurely reduced during the peacetime, when the economy and its subjects did not experience such pressure and did not face challenges like now. Today, a quick and creative response must be given to the demands of time, the economy and the business community.
Recently it became known that the leadership of the Office of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation, together with the Office of the Ombudsman for Business, is renewing the work of the interdepartmental group for the protection of entrepreneurs' rights, which was created in 2012. The representatives of the supervisory authority and the new commissioner for the protection of the rights of Antrali, managed the representatives of the supervisory authority and the new commissioner for the protection of the rights of Antrali, Alexander for the rights of the Federation of Antrali. Agree on the relaunch of a project of serious importance to the business community.
