Vice-Governor: Sevastopol lack of local law

The implementation of major investment projects in free economic zones (FEZ) in Sevastopol inhibits the lack of local law, which would allow without competition to give land to large investors, said Vice-Governor Alexey Eremeev.

The law on the establishment in the Crimea and Sevastopol FEZ came into force on 1 January 2015. It establishes peculiarities of taxation in Crimea and Sevastopol, peculiarities of the national audit office, entrance, FEZ. The term SEZ - 25 years may be the extension of the regime. The provisions of the act significantly simplify the visa regime, reduce tax on income and contributions to social funds, zero in the cases of customs duty for the FEZ residents.

Eremeev noticed that at the moment already signed contracts with 13 residents, totaling more than 300 million rubles. Investors interested in such spheres as agriculture, port operation, the provision of Internet services. However, According to Vice-Governor, in the majority, it's not major projects.

"We have interest from major investors for the placement of new industries within the city. We held meetings with the investor, who expressed a desire, and We strongly in this intention-supported, the construction enterprise of refrigeration equipment, timber frame construction, with a total investment of more than 1, 5 billion, creating over 150 jobs, "said Eremeev at a press conference in the Crimean press center MIA" Russia today ".

Vice-the Governor has noticed that for this investment project has already found a suitable plot. But its Implementation paralyze the lack of local law, which would allow without competition to provide land for major investment projects." We have the bill submitted more than a month ago. If this Law will not be adopted, We will need major investment projects, which are objectively necessary to the city, to formally go through the bidding process, and this plus the two months that we are developing constrains and confidence to potential investors does not add ", - noted Vice-the Governor.

Another problem, according to his statement, is the lack of a large selection of large plots of land, because during the stay of Sevastopol from Ukraine, in practice, all urban land was distributed.

Eremeev noticed that interest in the free economic area of Sevastopol progresses, for this reason the number of participants will only increase.
