It is necessary to review the most important aspects, no matter what term is used in relation to the mechanism for protecting people working in foreign companies, which owners decided
to halt activities in Russia, as said Sergey Neverov
Sergey Ivanovich
, the Deputy Chairman of the State Duma, representative of the United Russia faction.
“One of the options that is being actively discussed is “nationalization”. You can use any term. I believe that the main thing is to review the most important aspects,” the parliamentarian stressed.
According to him, if such a mechanism is introduced, then for its implementation it is necessary to determine the share of foreign capital in the company. “Taking this into accounts, we should determine who can initiate receivership procedures within the framework of arbitration. Co-owners, the tax inspection or Rostrud may have such rights. I think that the governors and prosecutors of the regions may also have such powers, which should have a tool for prompt reaction,” the parliamentarian emphasized.
Banking and financial institutions with state participation may be involved in the receivership procedures. At the same time, the protection of employees (prohibition on dismissal) and the mechanism for preventing the removal of property should be clearly indicated. According to Sergey Neverov, the receivership of the company can sell the share belonging to the foreign owner of such a company during the auction, but the new owners should keep the staff.
He added that another key point was to prevent unscrupulous individuals from using the mechanism for the raiding purposes. In addition, the mechanism should provide for the possibility for owners to avoid receivership procedures if the enterprise/company decides to continue to perform activities and keep the staff.
