После совещания, на котором обсуждалась ситуация на предприятиях Пикалево, Председатель Правительства России В.В.Путин пообщался с жителями города. Премьер кратко рассказал им об итогах совещания
Oleg Deripaska: Just give me a pen.
Vladimir Putin: Excellent. I heard what you said and hope that the agreement that has been reached and finally signed will be fulfilled. As far as further developments, we will discuss them separately. If assistance is required, we will deal with it separately.
To ensure that raw materials are supplied here, they need to be transported, and the transportation tariffs should be reasonable to ensure profitable functioning of the enterprises. Mr Yakunin, go ahead, please .
Vladimir Yakunin: Mr Putin, colleagues, we started to deal with the problems at this manufacturing complex following a letter from the Governor of the Leningrad Region of March 11 addressed to the President. We immediately prepared appropriate measures and submitted them to the Leningrad Region Governor's office.
At the meeting convened day before yesterday by your deputy, Mr Sechin, it was determined that there were no critical problems as far as transportation is concerned. We have enough carriages to transport materials. As for the clinker, we have already signed an agreement; the transportation will be implemented under tariff 1001. We are ready to provide the First Freight Company carriages for the purpose. As far as nepheline, the proposals currently on the table will result in RZhD losses in the amount of 56 million roubles. As far as I understand, instructions have been given to compensate these losses in accordance with the law. These instructions are ready to be signed.
I would like to stress once again that there are no problems whatsoever as far as the company is concerned and the technological aspects of transportation; the participants of the meeting do not have any concerns either.
Vladimir Putin: We have also agreed that the compensation will be made out of the regional budget. They receive the revenues from the transportation...
Vladimir Yakunin: Mr Putin, this is beyond our prerogative...
Vladimir Putin: True. I would just like to ask the Governor if there is such an agreement.
Valery Serdyukov: Mr Putin, we have fulfilled all our commitments to the Russian Railways as far as subsidised passenger transportation is concerned. The losses incurred by the Oktyabrskaya Railway... Passenger transportation and commuter transportation depend on the established tariffs. The Oktyabrskaya Railway informed us that 14 roubles was a justified tariff for 2009 and we accepted it. Therefore, we have not accepted any debts related to the losses. Had we established a lower tariff than the one proposed by the RZhD (they proposed a 14 roubles tariff, and we established it at 14 roubles), then we would have been responsible for the losses.
Vladimir Putin: What are RZhD's shortfalls in revenues?
Vladimir Yakunin: The problem is that the existing system does not register any debts on the balance sheet of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation. These calculations are made by our agency. According to our estimates, which, however, will need to be coordinated, the shortfall in revenues are in excess of 100. Currently, none of the regions cover the passenger transportation losses.
As for tariffs, according to the law, RZhD does not set commuter transportation tariffs. In fact, RZhD does not set any tariffs. Tariffs are established by the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and freight tariffs - by the Federal Tariff Service.
Vladimir Putin: Mr Novak (Alexander Novak - Deputy Finance Minister), please make all financial calculations and report to me. As for the sources, we will decide on them.
Now let us address the infrastructure issue of the complex. What are the problems there? Why is it not possible for the complex to work as a single unit? I mean joint use of the infrastructure.
