FAS ordered to exclude more than 2.2 billion rubles from tariffs in the field of MSW management

The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) has ordered the exclusion of more than 2.2 billion rubles from tariffs in the field of municipal solid waste management (MSW). This was reported to Izvestia on November 9 by the FAS press service.

This was the result of inspections in 22 regions, in which the agency issued 29 orders to eliminate violations.

"In a number of subjects, the service revealed systemic violations of accounting and economic justification of the costs of transporting municipal solid waste," the FAS explained.

In particular, in the Kirov Region, Primorsky Krai and the Republic of Mordovia, unreasonable indicators of changes in the average distance of waste transportation were used when calculating transportation costs. This led to an overestimation of costs in tariffs, the antimonopoly authority clarified.

But in Bashkiria, the cost of transporting MSW was calculated on the basis of an additional agreement to the agreement on the organization of MSW management activities. The document changed the essential conditions and contradicted the legislation.

In addition, according to the results of the FAS audit, the costs of transporting MSW in the Novosibirsk region are economically unjustified. And in the Kursk and Smolensk regions, as well as the Krasnodar and Primorsky Territories, the costs of the regional operator for their own handling of MSW with the addition of VAT were taken into account.

Wet case: photo-video cameras can be "empowered"

Violations on the water are planned to be recorded automatically.

Since the beginning of the year, the cameras of the Traffic Management Center in Moscow have revealed more than 2,000 violations of the rules for the removal of construction debris. Transportation control is carried out using artificial intelligence technologies and neural networks.

220 video cameras monitor compliance with the requirements. The system helps to prevent the appearance of illegal landfills, increase the volume of waste recycling and improve the accounting of data on the transportation of construction debris.
