The bill introduces a definition of "aggressor country" subject to "aggressive and is not an affiliate of conduct" countries imposing punishment relative to Russia, Russian citizens and Russian legal entities. The draft law establishes that foreign legal and natural persons registered in the " aggressor state ", as well as Russian legal entities affiliated or dependent on such foreign persons prohibited from carrying on the territory of the Russian Federation the activities of inspection, the provision of legal and other Advisory services, reports RIA " Novosti ".
The authors of the amendments clarify that such activities are tied in 1st place with that now consulting infrastructure businessmen of Russia monopolized by foreigners. Elected officials suggest that at least six major U.S. accounting and consulting firms working in Russia, will fall under the ban. First in the leadership of several committees of the state Duma criticized the initiative, arguing the fact that the Executive authorities of Russia have sufficient authority to respond to the punishment of the West, you do not need to amend the law. Thus, the Committee ekonompolitike in the opinion on the draft law stated that the right to ban clearance services rendered by foreign persons, and the limits of tolerance specified services for procurement provided by the Russian government." The adoption of these changes will lead to difficulties in the implementation of its provisions in practice.
