Prime Minister Vladimir Putin holds a Government Presidium meeting

“Negative developments, which, doubtless, exist everywhere, including the internet, should not be used as a pretext for curbing online freedom. To prevent this from happening and to enable society to shield itself from these negative developments, all actions in this effort should be transparent. They should be undertaken and worked out together with the online community.”

“The national business initiative signifies an entirely new approach to the formation of a business environment in which not officials but business itself, the main user of its services, sets demands for the participants in the process. We must charge officials with an obligation to fulfill these requirements efficiently rather than just on paper.”

Daily Agenda

As Mr Putin said during the meeting, the Russian government is doing everything possible to create a favourable climate for Volkswagen’s investment in Kaluga production. The prime minister added that Volkswagen is now able to issue new car loans because the company’s bank recently received a licence from the Bank of Russia.
“Naturally, nobody, including federal and regional authorities, can demand that a producer work at a loss. This is prohibited by the law. However, monopolistic profiteering that causes prices to rise is unacceptable. This applies to everyone involved in the market, from the farm field to the shop counter.”
