The feasibility of establishing a logistics center for the storage of metal were discussed in the meeting initiated by the Ministry of industry of the Crimea.

“rostec” will be engaged in end-of military equipment

As it became known , President Vladimir Putin has allowed the defense Ministry to transfer exclusive of state Corporation rostec, deactivated weapons, military and special equipment (AMSE) and other property, including scrap metal. A subsidiary of the state Corporation — the national ecological operator (neo) — will be able to buy military scrap without bidding, and then sell at the site of Rostec. Thus, the Ministry of defense will save on recycling, but will lose income from sale of scrap e-auction, the amount of which in the period of 2016-2017 years amounted to 3.5 billion rubles. a New deal for 1.5 billion rubles neo, the losers competitor, has already locked, seeking its abolition in the defense Ministry and the FAS.
To be in possession of a letter from the Minister of defence Sergei Shoigu and the head of Rostec Sergey Chemezov, addressed to Vladimir Putin. It is proposed to transfer the Corporation's decommissioned military property: it is forbidden to free sale of weapons and military equipment at net book value, and other tangible assets (scrap) — on market. Right acquisition, implementation, disposal and use (including for industrial purposes) these resources are offered to give the Rostec — neo. As the gentlemen assure Shoigu and Sergey Chemezov, this will reduce budget expenditures on maintenance and storage of scrap and to ensure environmental safety in the elimination of the samples of armament and military equipment in terms of their application in the defense Ministry. Means the Federal program for Industrial utilization of arms and military equipment for 2011-2015 and until 2020 it is not enough, the letter said. The authors have already signed a cooperation agreement on comprehensive utilization of armament and military equipment, allowing without the involvement of the budget to make room for the storage of scrap by various industries including the defence industry. A source in the defense Ministry believes that in this way the Agency will be able to part with nearly 270 thousand tons of scrap metal which are on balance of the Ministry, at the most convenient scheme and without catastrophic bureaucracy.
We will remind, the Corporation wanted to deal with the disposal of military equipment a year ago: it was assumed that the profitability of the process will be provided at the expense of their processing and usage of spare parts, which will reduce the cost of production of the defense industry (see may 16, 2016). On the right to the exclusive acquisition and subsequent sale of scrap metal, then it was not. Now the Corporation wants to get all the military scrap, which c 2014 the structure of the Ministry of defence to sell on an e-platform HAPPY (chosen at the contest held by decree of the government). In 2016-2017, the RAD has sold the scrap on 636 auction for 3.5 billion rubles, exceeding the starting price by 25% on average. More than 4 thousand tons of scrap at the end of last year were sold with a threefold excess of 90 thousand rubles per ton, while the market of direct sales of scrap left nine times cheaper than 10 thousand rubles per ton. If the Ministry of defense to sell scrap directly to Rostec, the income from resale at the site of the state Corporation will get neo.
These plans are part of the reason the neo attempt to block the auction results on the site HAPPY 9 March, which the military sold as one lot plant secondary metals and alloys (Navy) Ural mining and metallurgical company Iskandar Makhmudov scrap silver-containing batteries in the Murmansk region for RUB 1.5 bn,— 250 million rubles more than the starting price. Trades in addition to daughter's Rostec lost ekaterinburgskiy Zavod po obrabotke tsvetnykh metallov Renova Viktor Vekselberg; Translom (seller of railway scrap, purchased in late 2016 at the Railways company Kronos Alexey Zolotarev) and supply Centre metal Andrew Rakova. However, the deal still has not held her suspended in connection with the complaint of neo Sergei Shoigu, his Deputy Timur Ivanov, forcing subordinates to conduct an internal investigation of the legality of the bidding procedure. Not finding violations, the seller — JSC 15th Arsenal of the Navy (under the management of JSC Remboursera) — appointed on March 16 the signing of the contract, but before the transaction according to the complaint, she was suspended by the FAS. In the document, a copy of which is at , relies on information from market participants that the winner participated in the auction, no listing Deposit (RUB 249 million). The press service of the GLAD and CEO of Navy Mikhail Burdakov refute it. According to Mr. Burdakova, neo seeks the annulment of the auction to pick up scrap for a pittance. We were invited to Moscow to sign a contract, but the appointed time was not even allowed into the office, refusing to explain the content of the complaint,— complains Mr. Burdakov.
Note that at the end of last week, FAS c delay complained about the refusal of admission to trading of the same in the absence of electronic applications, OOO Sibtsvetmet. The company also has declared unlawful, in her opinion, the transfer of authority for bidding and provided for this work remuneration (5% of the sale price), which allegedly loses budget. Although the conditions of the bidding the winner pays for it over the totals, and acting in defense of the scheme of departmental sale of scrap a year ago offered widely implemented Ministry of economy, arguing that the Treasury loses billions of rubles due to the opacity of nereglamentirovannoe and voluntarism procedures for the sale of scrap deposited by intermediaries. The Agency proposed to make state-owned companies and government agencies to sell your scrap exclusively on the electronic platform of companies accredited to the Federal property privatization, which had at that moment only too HAPPY (see April 13, 2016). But to improve gray and vysokoperedelnyh market lomozagotovki, as predicted, the participants, the Agency failed.
