Edik Diyarov spoke about the progress of work on entering information about the border of the Republic of Tatarstan into the Unified State Register of Real Estate
The State Council of the Republic of Tatarstan hosted a meeting of the Committee on State Construction and Local Self-Government, at which the parliamentarians considered the issues of work to establish the location of the border of the Republic of Tatarstan, and also discussed bills on amending the Electoral Code of the Republic of Tatarstan, the republican law on the State Council committees.
The issue of establishing the borders of the republic and resolving controversial issues with neighboring subjects does not lose its relevance. As the Deputy Minister of Land and Property of the Republic of Tatarstan Edik Diyarov noted, a lot of work is underway in the republic to enter information about the border of the Republic of Tatarstan into the Unified State Register of Real Estate. Since 2006, a working group has been operating to resolve issues on disputed borders between the Republic of Tatarstan and adjacent subjects of the Russian Federation.
“The total length of the border of the republic is about three and a half thousand kilometers,” the deputy minister stressed, “during the work on establishing the border, over 570 problem areas were initially discovered. Moreover, this number does not include areas of changes in hydrography and border discrepancies no more than 10-15 meters. In the course of negotiations with representatives of neighboring subjects, we managed to come to an agreement and remove issues on 400 sections of the border. " Edik Diyarov spoke about the borders with each of the eight regions neighboring Tatarstan. At the same time, the adjacent borders with the Orenburg region and the Chuvash Republic have been fully coordinated. According to the members of the relevant committee, in this work it is important to maintain a balance and take into account the interests of residents of the disputed territories.
Among the most problematic, the Deputy Minister identified the so-called "enclave territories" of Tatarstan in the neighboring regions. For example, in the Kirov region the territory of settlements of the Kukmorsky and Baltasinsky municipal districts is located. The Kirov region also claims this territory. The search for archival documents of title and cartographic materials did not give an unambiguous answer. “Enclave territories” are more of an economic issue, since there are no settlements on them. This is usually agricultural land.
"What are the deadlines for the completion of work on the establishment of boundaries for you designate?" - Albert Khabibullin, chairman of the Committee for State Building and Local Self-Government, asked. According to Edik Diyarov, schedules for joint work with neighboring regions are being worked out. Much will also depend on colleagues from the border areas.
For consideration in the first reading, the specialized committee has prepared a draft law on changing and establishing the boundaries of territories and the status of the municipal formation "Buinsky municipal district" and municipal formations in its composition. The bill was considered at a meeting of the Committee today. The document provides for a change in the adjacent borders of the territories of Nizhnenaratbashskoye, Malobuinkovskoye and Runginskoye rural settlements of Buinsky district. A number of land plots of these municipalities are included in the territory of the city of Buinsk.
As the authors of the bill explain, the need to change the boundaries arose as a result of the development of a master plan, the city needs new land to increase the volume of housing construction, both for the implementation of social programs and for individual housing construction. Public hearings were held in rural settlements of the district. Residents of municipalities supported the initiative to change the borders.
Today, at the meeting of the Committee, the deputies considered a draft law on amendments to the Electoral Code of the Republic of Tatarstan, prepared for consideration in the second reading. In total, 87 amendments were received to the bill (from the Central Election Commission of the Republic of Tatarstan, the Committee on State Construction and Local Self-Government and from deputies Eduard Sharifiev, Artem Prokofiev, Khafiz Mirgalimov and Alexander Komissarov). 5 amendments were recommended by the relevant committee for adoption, 82 - for rejection.
Albert Khabibullin, Chairman of the Committee on State Building and Local Self-Government, elaborated on each amendment. Among the amendments recommended by members of the relevant Committee for adoption, there are provisions that take into account changes in federal legislation.
The most numerous block of amendments, introduced by deputies Artem Prokofiev, Hafiz Mirgalimov and Alexander Komisarov, affects the norms providing for voting in elections, referendums for several days in a row. Members of the Communist Party faction oppose this order. “Except for one“ big ”party, all the others are in favor of a one-day vote,” said Hafiz Mirgalimov. “Long-term voting causes great damage to the electoral system,” continued Artem Prokofiev. “It is not by chance that the electoral process defines a clear procedure, elections must be transparent and verified.
Voter confidence is already falling. By introducing multi-day voting, we are only exacerbating this process. The multi-day vote is difficult to verify. "
As Albert Khabibullin noted, these amendments received numerous comments from legal services, since federal legislation is violated. In addition, the head of the relevant committee stressed that making a decision on a multi-day voting is a right, but not an obligation of the Election Commission.
Amendments that clarify the rules on the procedure for recalling members of election commissions by political parties, excluding from the draft law new requirements for observers in elections and referendums (that observers can only be citizens with active suffrage), provisions on the possibility of remote electronic voting and early voting.
Other issues were considered at the meeting of the Committee.
