Vladimir Putin: Good afternoon,
First of all I’d like to congratulate you on the 350th anniversary of Buryatia’s voluntary accession to Russia.
However, I’ve gathered you here to discuss concrete matters. A lot depends on your work, your discipline, talent and industry, your ability to work with people and your knowledge of modern economic realities. Much depends on people like you in your republic, your federal district and in the rest of the country. You are controlling the entire production process and employing thousands of people. I believe the aircraft plant alone provides work for as many as 7,000 people, which makes it a major player in the economy of the region and the rest of the country. Together with Vyacheslav Nagovitsyn (Buryatia’s president and head of the local government), I’ve also looked at the performance of other enterprises. Overall, they are doing well. Last year, the industrial production index was 22.9%, and in the first half of this year it is already at 13.7%. I’d like to congratulate you on this performance, because it means that not only the country but also your republic and your federal district are confidently overcoming the economic crisis.
I’m sure you’ll tell me now about your problems and I want to hear about them, in particular about the energy industry. Mr Nagovitsyn has just asked me why the government resolution on evening out energy rates has been cancelled so quickly. I’ll look into this upon my return to Moscow. I think we’ll restore this policy.
Let’s discuss the issues that concern us. There are representatives here from the industrial sector, retail chains and the energy industry. I’d like every one of you to give me a brief – for three to four minutes – on your company and the problems that concern you. My colleagues and I would like to better understand your priorities and what you would like us to pay attention to. I’ll give the floor to Sergei Savvateyev, the executive director of Buryatia’s Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs for some introductory remarks. Please, Mr Savvateyev, go ahead.
Sergei Savvateyev: Thank you, Mr Putin. I’d like to add that I’m also the head…
