After 13 years, the Interior Ministry anti-drug and regained the passport and visa department: in the structure of the department joined Federal Drug Control Service and the Federal Migration Service. Sami service in the merger receive additional powers, which have long requested
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday, April 5 announced the submission of the Federal Service for Drug Control (Federal Drug Control Service) and the Federal Migration Service (FMS) Russian Ministry of internal Affairs (MIA). Both agencies liquidated after joining the Ministry of Internal Affairs plans to implement its long-standing -. Increase the powers
Drug Control Service
The question of the merger of Federal Drug Control Service and the Interior Ministry was discussed more than a year. According to RBC, a source close to the presidential administration, against the elimination of Federal Drug Control Service head Viktor Ivanov was department. The post of head of the Federal Drug Control Service Ivanov was appointed in May 2008, before that he had worked in President Vladimir Putin’s administration, in particular from 2004 to 2008, he served as assistant to the president for personnel issues.
The last few years, Federal Drug Control Service I tried to expand the range of their interests, in particular the agency wanted to monopolize the sphere of socialization and rehabilitation of drug addicts. Federal Drug Control Service has even developed a state program, which involves the association under the auspices of Federal Drug Control Service 500 existing in the Russian rehabilitation centers. They are, as planned, had to be able to receive grants from the state to help drug addicts. Initially, for these purposes from the state Drug Control Service has requested more than 150 billion rubles. Subsequently, the estimated program costs decreased to 1.5 billion.
The powers to provide financial and organizational support to the rehabilitation NGO Office has received in August 2014 Putin’s decree. But to realize the program Ivanov and did not work, because the Ministry of Finance refused to allocate money for it. Failed to approve the Federal Drug Control Service and the profile of the service of the law, which was developed in 2013. The Act significantly expands the powers of the service: the agency would like to spend medosvidetelstvovanie, make regulations to companies and individual entrepreneurs, so that they “have taken to prevent drug trafficking measures”, and even through the court to suspend the work of the companies, if they do not comply with the precept of service
.
But its main job – to combat drug trafficking – Federal drug Control service has been criticized by experts, who compared service indicators with the Ministry of Interior. Police officers involved in the disclosure of non-serious crimes, drug-related crimes or moderate. The experts of the St. Petersburg Institute for the Rule of Law in the report on the effectiveness of the two agencies, stated that the Ministry of Internal Affairs ahead of Federal Drug Control Service in the number of crimes solved, and the Federal Drug Control Service ahead of the Ministry of Interior in the amount of seized drugs.
In the spring of 2015 Ivanov , commenting on rumors about a possible reorganization of the department, said that the Ministry of Internal Affairs higher figures for arrests of ordinary drug users, but in the field of Federal drug Control Service – major suppliers and distributors of drugs. “90% of all wholesale quantities of drugs it seizes Federal Drug Control Service”, – stressed Ivanov
What will happen to the more than 30 thousand employees of Federal Drug Control Service, who are registered in the State department, is unclear… Transfer to the Federal Drug Control Service Putin at a meeting with representatives of the departments are not reported, he only said that “the whole structure will work self-sufficient, on their own, but as part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.” In most Federal Drug Control Service in mid-January announced that carried out the optimization of the structure and the state.
What is the structural unit will be created in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in connection with the accession to the Federal Drug Control Service, it is not yet announced. Before the creation of Federal Drug Control Service in combating drugs in the Ministry of Interior engaged in the Main Directorate for Combating Drug Trafficking (GUBNON). After the disbandment were created anti-drug control in the structure of the Main Criminal Investigation Department and the Special Department in the regions. As he wrote, “Kommersant”, after the elimination of Federal Drug Control Service is expected to pass it in the drug police criminal investigation unit. In addition, according to the newspaper, and discussed the possibility of recreating GUBNON.
FMS
FMS became an independent unit in 2004, when the office came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs . In recent years, the FMS complained that the service is not included in the number of law enforcement officials and does not have the features required for work with migrants, says RBC source in the MBF. Last week, the lack of authority at the round table in the Public Chamber said the deputy head of the Monitoring Department of the organization of work with foreign nationals FMS Nadezhda Voronina.
In the spring of 2014 the Federal Migration Service has developed a draft law “On Immigration Control”, significantly expanding the powers of agencies and turns it into a full power structure. If this law was approved by the State Duma and signed by the President, the staff service could inspect entities to cancel licenses and withdraw authorization for employers. In addition, the agency staff would have the right to initiate and investigate criminal investigation into the organization of illegal migration, check the documents of citizens and the use of weapons.
The competence of the Federal Migration Service to its liquidation consisted of questions of citizenship, granting entry visas to Russia, registration and issuance of passports to citizens of the Russian Federation, deportation and a ban on entry for violators of migration legislation. Office Management consists of representatives of law enforcement bodies. Three of the eight deputies of the FMS head Konstantin Romodanovsky – came from the security organs, as well as he and three others – came from MIA
In the FMS after reducing staffing levels in the summer of 2015 employed 36 thousand people… It is already known that the FMS will cut another 30%: This is stated in the decree of Putin to merge structures. The fact of the return of the FMS of the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not mean that “an independent state was declared unsuccessful”, said presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters. “Just as a result of an interagency study came to the conclusion that at this stage is more expedient, such a structure,” – said Sands
The fate of the current head of the Federal Migration Service Romodanovsky will decide Putin said Tuesday RBC deputy head of the Federal Migration Service Ekaterina Egorova <.. / p>
President of “Migration XXI century” Foundation, former deputy director of the Federal Migration service, Vyacheslav Postavnin in conversation with RBC noted that the decision to merge departments suggested itself for a long time, because in recent years some of the functions of the migration service has received the Ministry of internal Affairs. According to him, there are two versions of the FMS MIA submission. The first option assumes that the FMS is the service, but in the framework of Ministry of Internal Affairs and head of the immigration department became deputy Minister of Internal Affairs.
«The second option is that the FMS will become, in fact, the passport and visa center the Interior Ministry, which it was before. Control Functions for migrants and migration management will then need someone to give, since it was not engaged in the Interior Ministry “, – adds Postavnin. According to him, the issuance of patents labor migrants can be given to any region, as it happens in Moscow or the Ministry of Labor.
After joining the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the FMS in some degree realized his desire to expand the powers, said Postavnin. But these powers – the inquiry, questioning, police work – service employees, will likely not be necessary, I’m sure Postavnin. The direct work with migrants, in his opinion, will deal with the police – district, guards, etc., because the FMS will focus on passport and visa work.
