    During the discussion of the changes proposed by the government to be introduced into the law on self-regulation, the executive secretary also decided to express his opinion Public Council on the development of self-regulation Sergey Afanasyev. He outlined his attitude to reforming self-regulation in the context of proposed amendments to the basic law for all SROs in an interview published on the official website of the Public Council.

    Sergey Vladimirovich, in your opinion, can we talk about the exclusivity of construction SROs against the backdrop of self-regulation in general?

    First of all, I must say that the draft Federal Law “On Amendments to the Federal Law “On Self-Regulatory Organizations” (315 Federal Law), which was prepared by the government of the Russian Federation, is the next step in reforming and improving the self-regulatory system. Of course, construction self-regulation should be highlighted here, since of the total number of self-regulatory organizations in the Russian Federation, more than half represent the construction sector and are the driver of self-regulation. But if the bill is adopted, the existing system will significantly change, approaches to the main functions of self-regulatory organizations will be streamlined and standardized.

    Amendments to the law provide for a significant reduction in the sectoral approach to self-regulation, but the features of various specializations of SROs will be taken into account. The new bill narrows the scope of specialized legislation, leaving within its purview the differences in requirements for insurance, compensation fund, number of members, and the structure of specialized bodies of industry SROs.

    But don’t you think that the unification of legislation will nullify all 6 years of work of mandatory construction self-regulation? Isn't this a premature step?

    - The unification of legislation has its own logical justification; the results of the analysis of law enforcement practice in the field of self-regulation are taken into account. The unification of the basic 315 Federal Law keeps pace with the times. Other existing federal laws regulating various areas of civil legal relations and business activity are confirmation that this is not only possible, but also necessary.

    So the law “On companies with limited liability", effectively working in the Russian Federation, lays down the basic principles of operation of this organizational and legal form, systematizing general construction such organizations. As a result of this unification, enterprises operating in various fields, successfully use it without thinking about any industry specifics. LLC in the field food production in the order of performing the main functions, it is no different from an LLC in the banking sector or in construction. There are no industry-specific laws that correct the law on LLCs, and the market has no need for this. Meanwhile, the existing features associated with their activities are regulated by additional regulatory legal acts, and can also be enshrined in the internal documents of organizations.

    The laws on joint stock companies and many other laws. It is quite reasonable to continue this systemic line of creating a basic 315th law, which takes into account general principles, while industry specifics can be regulated by the City Code and other industry laws in terms of any specific requirements for partnership members, but this requires a little adjustment, not exceeding 5% of general principles functioning of the SRO.

    Under the new law, what tools will construction SROs be provided with in implementing their narrow-profile features? And will they, in principle, have such opportunities?

    In the very concept of “self-regulation”, laid down in the existing 315-FZ, as well as in the amendments under consideration, participants in the self-regulatory system are given the opportunity to consolidate their characteristics in the constituent documents and in other internal documents of the SRO.

    For example, the activities of SROs of elevator organizations have proven themselves, the internal rules and standards of which set out the specifics of their field. The decisions made at general meetings are binding on the members of these SROs. There is no need to consolidate the specifics in 315 or any industry law, since, both for elevator operators and, for example, for railway workers, such requirements will be absolutely unnecessary due to the presence of their own narrow specifics, which they can regulate by internal documents. Self-regulatory organizations have enough rights to consolidate their industry-specific features.

    How perfect, in your opinion, will 315-FZ be from the point of view of administering all industries (in fact, having more differences than similarities) where mandatory self-regulation has been introduced?

    - The bill is being criticized, and that's normal. Thus, the following doubts are regularly expressed: it is impossible to combine different industries (construction, financial markets, realtors, auditors, energy auditors, medicine) in one legal act.

    Yes, indeed, these and many other areas have more differences than similarities. But the degree of these differences is determined by the product they produce, and not by the organizational and legal form. It is obvious that the boundary between unified and specialized rules may well be shifted towards strengthening the unified ones. So, for example, general meetings of SRO members may well follow the same design and have the same procedure, because the general meeting of members of a medical SRO and, for example, a real estate organization are no different. There is no need to call it a general meeting in some cases, and a congress in others. There is no reason to indicate, as is done in the Town Planning Code, that a candidate for the Council or the position of president of a national association is nominated by at least 30% of NOSTROY members registered in the territory of a certain federal district. Why is it necessary to indicate this figure in the Town Planning Code, and another in other relevant legislation?

    All this is not significant and does not carry any semantic load in relation to the regulation of the activities of partnership members. But the existing differences, according to the above characteristics, harm the existing system of self-regulation, and are also fraught with unreasonable costs for the legislative branch to take into account these features and select law enforcement practices, which requires endless modernization of approaches. These approaches may well be painlessly unified.

    A sore point for many SROs, especially given the situation in the banking sector: will they be able to new law unify approaches to the formation and management of SRO compensation funds?

    Features regarding the size of the compensation fund and the procedure for managing it are of significant importance for SROs. But it is worth separating unfounded fears from the reasonable arguments presented in the bill. Management Approaches compensation fund can and should be regulated by 315-FZ.

    Currently, builders are ordered to place CF in bank deposits, and arbitration managers, on the basis of an investment declaration, are ordered to place deposits in rubles, as well as in foreign currency and government securities. Such differences require special regulation by law, but there are no fundamental differences. It is quite possible to establish the 315th Federal Law unified approach to the placement of funds, and this will not affect the regulation of the field of auditors and builders, but will reduce the heterogeneity of approaches. Arbitration managers are required to place compensation funds through management companies, while construction organizations are not required to do this, but there is no justification for such a difference in approaches. But the size of the compensation fund should quite reasonably differ. Since the risks of damage caused by construction workers can vary significantly large amounts than auditors or appraisers. Based on the above, the procedure for managing the compensation fund can be unified, and the size should be reflected in special legislation.

    - Do you think that construction SROs should support the new bill?

    - The prepared amendments to Federal Law No. 315 “On Self-Regulatory Organizations” do not abolish the specific features of SROs in different industries, but only shift the emphasis to the universality of approaches and expanding the rights of SROs to take into account their characteristics in other documents. I believe that it is necessary to support the changes to 315-FZ prepared by the government and not be afraid of the inevitable development of self-regulation.
