In respect to debtors belonging to Categories C and D, the sessions of the interdepartmental meeting are held, respectively, by interre gional territorial or territorial bodies of the FSFRB of Russia and are formalized by protocols coordinated with the RF subjectsТ bodies of ex ecutive authority or bodies of local self government at the place of a debtorТs registration. In the event of consent, the decision concerning the feasibility (or non feasibility) of filing a petition in bankruptcy against a debtor is formalized by order of a interregional territorial (or territorial) body of the FSFRB of Russia. In the event of absence of such consent, a substantiated conclusion of a coordinating body is reflected in the protocol, on the basis of which the interregional territorial (or territorial) body of the FSFRB of Russia prepares a report and submits it, with the protocol, to the FSFRB of Russia (or its interregional territorial body), to be considered by a superior interdepartmental commission (or an in terdepartmental meeting).

6. In the event of receiving a decision made by the RF Government, the Chairman of the RF Government, or by the Deputy Chairman of the RF Government, concerning the filing of a petition that a debtor be deemed to be bankrupt, or the issuing of an order to this effect, the FSFRB of Russia (or its interregional territorial or territorial body) within a two week period petitions the court that the debtor be deemed to be bankrupt.

7. The FSFRB of Russia represents, in bankruptcy cases and bank ruptcy procedures, the Russian FederationТs claims, including the par ticipation in creditorsТ meetings, the filing of complaints concerning the actions of bankruptcy commissioners, the filing of other claims and pe titions, as well as implements other powers envisaged by existing legis lation.

8. Prior to participating in a creditorsТ meeting, the agenda of which contains the issue concerning the choice of a bankruptcy procedure, the FSFRB of Russia requests the opinion of the corresponding body of executive authority of a RF subject and a local self government body in respect to applying bankruptcy procedures and the process of imple menting a bankruptcy procedure.

The bodies of executive authority of RF subjects and local self government bodies may request from the FSFRB of Russia the informa tion concerning the process of implementing bankruptcy procedures.

This information must contain the data on the bankruptcy procedure being effectuated against a debtor, on the bankruptcy commissioner nominated by the arbitrage court, on the process of implementing the bankruptcy procedure and on the debtorТs financial status.

9. The FSFRB, once in a half year, informs the RF Ministry for Eco nomic Development and Trade as to the number of bankruptcy proce dures on the territory of each RF subject and as to the organizations belonging to each of the economyТs branches, and also informs it on the types of the said procedures.

10. The RF Ministry for Economic Development and Trade of Russia, in cooperation with the FSFRB of Russia, annually submits information to the RF Government as to the number of bankruptcy procedures and proposals concerning the implementation of the State policy in the sphere of financial recovery and bankruptcy.

On the whole, the procedure for initiating the proceedings in bank ruptcy established by Decree No. 218 was very complicated and bu reaucratic; however, the very fact of its normative definition deserved a positive estimation.

Finally, Decree No. 688 envisaged the creation of the Interdepart mental Commission for determining the feasibility of filing petitions in bankruptcy and approved the Provision regarding this Commission.
