Sverdlovsk Region Government approves of changes in land management legislation

Sverdlovsk Region Government approved of the changes made to the land management legislation regarding regional property. Three major changes have been made so far: firstly, the right of the executive branch to give permission to privatize or use the regional property and the way this is to be done will now be decided upon in a new format (Regulation 317); secondly, the way the representatives of the executive branch are to deal in auctions has been modified as well (Regulation 543); thirdly, the authority over agricultural lands is to be determined differently (Regulation 737). All the documents were drawn up and approved of in 2002-2005, but there was no federal legislation at that moment, says the spokesperson for the Governor of Sverdlovsk Region.
