The government has developed a bill on a single operator of northern delivery

The government has submitted to the State Duma a package of bills that introduces regulation of the northern delivery. It was published on the website of the chamber on February 22, 2023. The draft defines the territories of delivery, divides cargo into categories, establishes the powers of state bodies, etc.

The explanatory note states that due to the lack of a systematic approach, there are risks of violation of delivery times. Now, according to the authors of the project, there is no complete statistics on the volumes and routes of cargo. “The government and ministries have to apply “manual control” to prevent the disruption of the supply of vital goods,” the document says.
