Council on Sectorial Issues meeting held in the Ministry of Industry and Infrastructural Development
At the meeting a full start to the State Program of Industrial and Infrastructural Development of Kazakhstan for 2020-2025, as well as the amendments to some legislative acts of Kazakhstan have been approved, the Ministry reports.
The amendments approved provide for new support measures, while the tools and conditions for the provision of state support measures are due to be updated. Moreover, a list of strategic raw materials necessary for local producers, but without development prospects in Kazakhstan will be formed. Through this list it is expected that foreign proposals will be initiated to reduce customs rates at the supranational level.
A project providing for lending by Baiterek National Managing Holding, which is expected to significantly contribute to the modernization and diversification of the national economy by updating the fixed assets of manufacturing enterprises, has been reviewed.
Also, the amendments to optimize the timing of organizing and conducting research in the state defense order have been in focus. To date, under the current version of the Rules, the implementation of these measures takes about two years, which is, according to experts, challenges the relevance of ongoing research.
The meeting has also looked into the implementation of the Kazakh law “On Amendments and Additions to Some Legislative Acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Housing and Communal Services”.
In particular, the regulation and optimization of the procedure for registering an apartment building as a condominium object, ensuring the rights of owners of apartments and non-residential premises for managing the apartment building, regulating the activities of a managing director of the apartment building and the management company, introducing a new mechanism for the overhaul of the common property of the condominium, regulating issues such as obtaining the consent of residents during the conversion and changing the functional purpose of the premises of the apartment building, application of national standards to ensure the safe operation of elevators, certification of service providers and digitalization of the housing sector.
In this regard, as part of the implementation of the Law the Ministry in February-March 2020 is due to approve 20 legal acts, of which: 3 decisions of the Kazakh Government, 17 orders of the Ministry.
To fulfill the Kazakhstan 2050 Strategy, the Digital Kazakhstan, Nurly Zhol State Programmes for 2020-2025, the Ministry has developed conceptual approaches to address the following priority tasks:
- implementation of a single dispatching system for interregional and international irregular road transport of passengers and baggage. This innovation involves the implementation of centralized monitoring of the movement of all vehicles involved in passenger traffic and equipped with satellite navigation equipment (GPS);
- measures to limit the premature loss of the bearing capacity of roads from the intensity of travel of heavy vehicles. For these purposes, it is proposed to create a network of automated stations for measuring the weight and overall parameters of vehicles operating around the clock in automatic mode. The creation of a network of automated measuring stations involves their installation on roads of national and local importance, at checkpoints across the state border of Kazakhstan and at each entrance to a settlement, which will ensure full coverage of the entire traffic flow.
It is worth noting that all the issues discussed will be implemented through the development of regulatory legal acts.
