With a view to ensure national security, to maintain an optimal equilibrium in the labour market, and to assist citizens of the Russian Federation in their right for priority job placement, the Prime Minister has been charged to develop and adopt a number of legal acts before 15 November 2006. The acts refer to following topics:
procedures for attracting foreign workers to the Russian Federation’s labour market;
establishing quotas for foreign citizens depending on professions, certain types of qualifications, countries of origin, other economic and/or social criteria in view of the regional characteristics of the labour market, as well as defining the admissible percentage of foreign workers in various sectors of the economy and, first and foremost, in wholesale and retail trade;
regulating trade in the wholesale and retail trade market-places, including improving the situation with respect to migration;
ensuring that market-place management guilty of infringing trade laws and migration rules are subject to prosecution by making the corresponding changes in the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation;
setting the term of continuous residence in the Russian Federation for those persons who have entered the country with entry visas at 90 days during a six-month period and establishing the possibility of prolonging this term in exceptional cases for not more than ten calendar days;
regulating the regime by which travel passports are issued to citizens of the Russian Federation living abroad.
Vladimir Putin also charged the heads of the regions of the Russian Federation to take additional measures to regulate the wholesale and retail trade market-places with a view to protect the interests of Russian producers and the Russian population at large.
