At the same time, the opinions of the supervisory board in respect to the majority of issued to be considered by it are to be only of a recommendatory character. The sphere of its competence includes only: the consideration of proposals concerning the introduction of changes and amendments to the charter of an autonomous institution; proposals concerning the creation of its affiliations and the opening of its representative offices; proposals concerning the reorganization and liquidation of an autonomous institution; proposals concerning the participation of an autonomous institution in other juridical persons, including those concerning the contribution of monies and other property to the charter (or joint-stock) capital of other juridical persons, or concerning their transfer, in some other manner, to other juridical persons in the capacity of a founder (or participant); the draft plan of the financial and economic activity of an autonomous institution and the reports on its having been carried out; the annual accounting balance; the proposals put forth by the director of an autonomous institution concerning the conclusion of transactions in respect to the disposal of its immovable and especially valuable movable property which, in accordance with Item 2 of Article 3 of this Federal Law, cannot be disposed of by an autonomous institution on its own; the proposals put forth by the director of an autonomous institution concerning the conclusion of big transactions; and the proposals put forth by the director of an autonomous institution concerning the conclusion of transactions in respect to which it is a related party. In respect to some of the issues, the supervisory board may only offer recommendations to an autonomous institution, while in respect to other issues it may make decisions.

The Law determines the competence of the director of an autonomous institution only in most general terms.

Autonomous institutions are allowed to conclude transactions with the participation of related parties. Autonomous institution may indeed conclude transactions in which related parties are partici pants34 but, irrespective of the amount of a transaction, it must be coordinated with the supervisory board. In an event when such a transaction results in a loss, the related parties are to be brought to responsibility on a substantial level.

Such peculiarities of the legal status of an autonomous institution make it an optimal form of organization for rendering budget-funded services on the basis of targeted financing in accordance with the established norms, because, due to the expansion of their economic independence (and primarily - the elimination of the necessity to approve an estimation of revenues and expenses), the State is no longer responsible for the liabilities of an autonomous institution. Besides, the right of the founder to differentiate the terms and procedure for formulating the tasks of an autonomous institution makes it possible to build the relations with such institutions on a contractual basis. In particular, in presence of alternative private suppliers on the market of certain services, the founder can minimize the scope of mandatory tasks by placing the order for appropriate services on the basis of a tender. For their part, autonomous institutions may participate in such tenders on equal terms with other suppliers. The Law УOn autonomous institutionsФ will come into force in early 2007, thus providing an impetus to the reorganization of the budget-funded network at all the levels of the budget system.
