Chapter 7 of the RF Code of Administrative Violations is augmented by articles that establish administrative responsibility for non-observing the limitations concerning the placement of orders for the supply of goods, the performance of work, and the provision of services for state and municipal needs, for violating the regulation for the placement of an order, for providing, publishing, or placing false information concerning the placement of an order, and for violating the terms of a state or municipal contract.

It is established that the placement of orders for state and municipal needs must be effected only by way of conducting the procedures established by Federal Law No 94-FZ of 21 July 2005.

Law No 94-FZ establishes that the inclusion in a contract of the the provision concerning the responsibility of a supplier, an executor, or a contractor for non-implementing an obligation envisaged in a state or municipal contract, is mandatory. The responsibility of a customer for a delay in implementing a contract is established directly by the Law on the Placement of State Orders - it represents a penalty (a fine or a surcharge) in the amount of 1/300 of the RF Central BanksТ refinancing rate for each day of the delay. In this connection, Law No 19-FZ excludes, from a number of legislative acts, the norms establishing the specific size of a penalty for the non-implementation or improper implementation of certain types of obligations concerning the supply of products for state needs - namely, for the failure of a supplier to timely implement a state contract in terms of the volume of products to be supplied for state federal needs; for declining to conclude the contracts for the supply of products Уto the RSFSR agro-industrial complex in accordance with the state order>

Law No 94-FZ regulates the relations dealing with the placement of orders for supplies, work, or services both for state (federal and RF subjectsТ) and municipal needs, by way of establishing the uniform rules of relationship for state and municipal customers and their contractors. At the same time, many legislative acts, whose norms are to a certain degree contiguous with the norms of legislation of state orders, do not mention municipal orders. Law No 19-FZ eliminates this omission. Thus, the mention of municipal needs alongside state needs is included in a number of articles of Part 2 of the RF Civil Code, which regulate the supplies of goods and the performance of contract work for state needs, and is also included in the article concerning the legal regulation of contracts for the performance of scientific research work, experimental design, and technological work. Municipal contracts for the performance of research and development work for municipal needs must determine the volume of information to be recognized as confidential, and must regulate the issues pertaining to the imposition of the regime of commercial secrecy (previously, this requirement was to be applied only to the performance of research and development work for state needs).

Law No 19-FZ stipulates that the provisions of the Federal Law УOn the Fundamental Principles of the State Regulation of External Trade ActivityФ, which forbid the imposition of a regime for foreign goods, work, and services which is less favorable than that imposed for Russian goods, work, and services, must not be applied to the supply of goods, the provision of services, and the performance of work for municipal needs.

Municipal formations are granted the rights similar to those enjoyed by the Russian Federation and RF subjects with regard to the use of an invention, or a practical model, or an industrial sample, or software and databases, as well as the topologies of integral microcircuits, created during the performance of work under a municipal contract for the performance of work for municipal needs.

The purchasers of gas for municipal needs are included in the list of purchasers who have the priority right to conclude contracts for the supply of gas.

Law No 19-FZ has introduced a clarification in the RF Budgetary Code by establishing that the financing necessary to secure the placement of an order for the supply of goods, the performance of work, and the provision of services for state or municipal needs may be carried out at the expense of the monies earmarked for state needs in the expenditures of a corresponding budget or the budgets of corresponding state off-budget funds. A state or municipal contract for the performance of work or the provision of services for state needs can be concluded for a period in excess of one year, if the subject of such a contract is the performance of work or the provision of services, whose production cycle of provision or performance has the duration of more than one year. The list of such services and categories of work is established by the RF Government.

For the sake of saving budget resources and guaranteeing the soundness of expenditures, Law No 19-FZ has also introduced some alterations in the Federal Law УOn Gas SupplyФ, by establishing that, in the event of concluding a state or municipal contract for the supple of gas for state or municipal needs, the contract should take into account the volume of gas consumption coordinated by the state or municipal customer in accordance with the procedure established by the RF Government. The funds for the financing of gas supplies must be annually envisaged in corresponding budgets.
