The new structure of the Government should logically connect previously isolated functions, make new ministries more effective and influential, and give them new dynamics and independence, President Vladimir Putin announced at a meeting at the Kremlin

March 9, 2004

The number of intermediary stages in making administrative decisions is significantly decreasing. The Governmental Apparatus should become an effective and modern tool of administration.

The President appealed to members of Government to complete the necessary structural transformations under the leadership of the Prime Minister, and immediately begin implementing declared plans.

If Vladimir Putin wins the Russian Presidential elections on 14 March, the newly appointed Cabinet of Ministers will take on the full responsibility outlined in the Constitution concerning the competence of the Government of the Russian Federation.
