The State Duma adopted a law on the requirements for displaying borders on maps
On May 26, 2021, the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation adopted a draft law in the third reading, which clarifies the requirements for the procedure for displaying borders on cartographic materials. Changes will be made to the Federal Law of December 30, 2015 N 431-ФЗ "On Geodesy, Cartography and Spatial Data and on Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation."
Today, state supervision in the field of geodesy and cartography is carried out, among other things, over the display of the state border of Russia and the territory of the country, territories of regions and territories of municipalities on maps, plans, in officially published atlases in graphic, photographic and other forms, including in electronic form. ...
At the same time, the requirements for displaying on materials obtained as a result of such cartographic works have not been established. The bill proposes to provide a basis for the development of requirements for display on materials obtained as a result of cartographic work
The amendments also determine the federal executive body that approves these requirements and is responsible for the development and implementation of state policy and legal regulation in the field of defense.
Once adopted, the law should enter into force 180 days after its official publication. This is due to the need to develop and adopt regulatory legal acts.
