SOME ISSUES OF PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION WASTES MANAGEMENT ARRANGEMENT IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

The article deals with some issues of wastes management arrangement. The assessment of the condition of the system of state regulation of production and consumption wastes in modern Russia is performed. The system of state regulation of wastes management that has been formed in the country and, accordingly, the legislation in this field has mainly protective nature. However, wastes are not only environmental pollutants, but also secondary material resources. The need to identify public authorities specifically responsible for wastes management, and not only for monitoring and control activities in this area, is important. The responsibility and powers of the Federal authorities are not sufficiently separated by the law. Currently, about ten Federal departments, which activity is uncoordinated and sometimes duplicated, are engaged in questions of production and consumption wastes treatment. The article substantiates the provision of the need to create a special branch of the Federal Executive authority — the Agency for waste management, which will combine the functions of a number of Federal agencies in order to integrate various aspects in solving problems of wastes management. Its tasks, functions and powers are formulated. The article analyzes the changes in the legislation on production and consumption wastes, including the innovations of the Federal law No. 458-FL dated December 29, 2014 «On amendments to the Federal law «On production and consumption wastes». The system of bodies of state regulation in the sphere of wastes management existing in the USSR is subject to consideration.
