The State Duma advanced at its first reading a measure that would impose substantial penalties for violations related to the handling of animal by-products, including manure. The bill outlines a system of administrative fines that would be tied to non-compliance with established rules governing the storage, transportation, processing, and sale of such by-products. The measure is reported by TASS as the agency providing the underlying information and context for the proposal.
Under the draft, a new Article 10.8.1 would be added to the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation to formalize the duty to adhere to required standards for circulating animal by-products. The proposed penalties would begin at a baseline level for officials, individual entrepreneurs, and corporate entities, reflecting a tiered approach to enforcement. Specifically, officials could face fines in the range of thirty thousand to forty thousand rubles for non-compliance, individual entrepreneurs could encounter fines between fifty thousand to sixty thousand rubles, and companies would be subject to fines from two hundred fifty thousand to three hundred fifty thousand rubles, depending on the severity and nature of the violation.
The proposal also contemplates an escalation mechanism: in the event of a repeat violation within a calendar year, fines would rise. For officials and individual entrepreneurs, this would mean an additional increase of ten thousand rubles over the amount charged for the first offense, while companies could face fines climbing from three hundred fifty thousand to up to four hundred fifty thousand rubles. This structure is designed to strengthen compliance and ensure that practical measures for the distribution, storage, and handling of animal by-products are consistently followed across sectors that rely on such materials.
Earlier, the State Duma Committee signaled support for imposing fines that could reach as high as four hundred fifty thousand rubles for improper processing of manure. The aim behind the initiative, according to the bill’s author, Vladimir Kashin, a deputy from the Communist Party, is to elevate the importance of accurate fertilizer accounting and to underscore the broader public health and environmental implications tied to the management of animal by-products. The committee’s position emphasizes accountability and the need for clearer expectations in how these materials are treated from production to sale, with the ultimate goal of reducing risks associated with mismanagement and ensuring traceability within the fertilizer supply chain.
