Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree, according to which changes the order of publication of data on the earnings of top managers of companies with state participation.
According launched change, these chapters must provide their data to the government, but can not disclose them in public.
In Russian companies with state participation was sent news from the Department of civil service and personnel of the government, explained the newest procedure for the provision and disclosure of information to their managers. Thus, top managers must provide to the office of the government information about earnings, costs and obligations of property character, but to publish them in the media should only heads of non-profit organizations and companies fully owned by the state.
"The head of commercial organizations are not considered officials, and labor in the business. The very existence of the country as a shareholder does not replace the status of the organization's status as a commercial structure. With all this, the top management of state-owned companies must provide data to the government, but they are considered including trade secret" - quoted by "Kommersant" press Secretary of the domestic premiere of Natalia Timakova.
Managers of state-owned companies were obliged to provide economic information to the government in the summer of 2013. In early December, have any rule on disclosure in the media, however, sent out queries answered not all. Most of the heads of the senior management concerned in this rule, actively opposed the innovations.
So, the head of Russian Railways Vladimir Yakunin has described a similar requirement of "unlawful interference with his private life, personal circumstances, personal information". Another active opponent of this measure was the President of "Rosneft" Igor Sechin. The company disclosed the payments to all 13 Board members for 2014 as a whole, not breaking the data apart.
"Top managers-not government employees, they may have different sources of income. Why everyone should know about it, especially about earnings at all the whole family - it is not clear," said the adepts of state-owned companies. The government, ultimately, also changed its position and not allowed to publish in the media the individual data of the heads of companies with state participation.
