Moscow threatens food shortages, and to blame - not a crisis, a capital reorganization of the customs. In early March, was closed 45 customs posts, and clearance of imported goods, including perishable products, referred to the terminals near Moscow. As a result, on the way to Moscow, grew out of the Fur queue waiting ", suppliers and manufacturers have a multimillion loss. According to market participants, the situation is close to critical.
It attempted to understand the magazine The New Times. Korrespondent edition went to the terminal in the village of Fences, relating to Podolsk Customs, and his eyes saw a tremendous turn of the Fur. According to some drivers who have to stand for several days, while on the ground for decent accommodation and basic hygiene is not even a question.
Many say that even wanted to organize a protest, blocking the road, but - have been warned that their cars headlights. However different times and using fists - because they have to pay a penalty for delay at customs when leaving the country, and in such cases is always to blame the carrier. Drivers are forced to sign explanatory: he said, were due to congestion. And the fact that the congestion created by the fault of the Customs, not written anywhere.
- Terms of screening products - the monstrous, often "leak" has already unfit goods
- The city has its own supply of food, but its resources are quickly depleted
A member of the terminal with which the correspondent was able after much persuasion to talk, "clarified" the situation: if earlier in the day came 15-20 Fur, now, due to the closure of offices in Moscow, comes to 150. This "bandwidth" terminal - 40 cars maximum.
The incumbent flatly refused to miss a journalist inside the post, saying that "it protects the FSB."
New Customs concept of "written" in a month and took in a hurry
In the middle of 2008, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin ordered to develop a concept for the development and streamlining of customs clearance of goods. The Federal Customs Service (FCS) concept composed of a month. And, without waiting for approval in line ministries and departments, have been introduced - in an experiment. And for the visibility began immediately with a capital of terminals, through which passed much of the imports.
December 17, the head of FCS Andrei Belyaninov signed the order number 1621, which requires from the beginning of March, close to Moscow, 45 customs points, and "" of the goods transferred to terminals near Moscow. In the FCS is the decision explained that the string of Fur on the way to Moscow did not decorate the city, and most importantly - the ability to inhibit the flow of already congested metropolitan highways.
In doing so, importers, have only found out about the content of the concept, asked customs officials to preserve the capital's office at least for perishable goods, ie food. Those in private talks calmed: say, do not worry, " did not insult. But as it turned out - offended.
Carriers have no warned by customs officials working in the regime is unclear - that day, then night. The machines were sent to Customs the items unevenly: in some posts plugs, while others are ready to hold "" a couple of hours.
The press service of the Central Customs Administration Customs in response to a request from The New Times expressed confidence that "the place at the customs stop all", as perishable goods (eg meat and meat products) have the right to issue a 10 customs posts Zelenograd, Noginsk and Podolsk Customs . In addition to unload part, on the customs posts organized on weekends and holidays, and put double work.
But in terms of market situation is close to critical. As the magazine executive director of the National Agricultural Union Alexey Afanasiev, trucks with foreign food of the Moscow region in search of the post, where you can quickly get ".
Terms of screening products - the monstrous, often "leak" has already unfit goods
But much, but the posts are still few. In the Moscow region until March was the only one qualified as having experience of working with fruits and vegetables in sight. Therefore, the importers were beginning to send their cars there. And very soon there was no push, followed by customs officers literally under the convoy began to send trucks into Domodedovo, Stupino, Kolomna, Dmitrov. Now there always stood the queue, which explained: office, no experience with vegetables, fruit did not have.
Terms of inspection and control, to recognize themselves importers, monstrous. After three or four days of waiting in the car gate, sanitary doctor opens the door just a glimpse of the truck and inspect the goods. According to suppliers, a large part of it is actually the realization of already inadequate. However, the inspection is over, the machine is closed and sent.
But even such an accelerated process would not save the situation. Previously, Moscow, say experts, the day passed 400-450 on machines with fruit and vegetable products. On the design of a truck took three hours. Today, through the efforts of the Moscow customs office on the day takes place 70-80 cars. A long wait for day.
According to Alexei Afanasieva, reliable figures of how much of "a" simply rotted, waiting queues at the customs, not yet. After all the goods since "" comes not directly on the counter, and on wholesale basis, where "Exporters should discarded.
A loss can be judged only on some indirect data. For example, Afanasyev said that the daily supply of meat in the capital since the beginning of March decreased by more than 50%. Experts expect that the same will soon happen with the fruit and dairy products. Moreover, the situation could get worse because, as argued by Alexey Afanasiev, at the Moscow posts have been "avalanche-like effect." By not pass the clearance time for the next day, add another 200 cars next day - the 200, and so every day.
The city has its own supply of food, but its resources are quickly depleted
Vendors claim: in the near future a new system of customs operations will lead to lower quality and a narrower range of food supplies on the shelves of metropolitan stores. But the Moscow authorities still prefer to comment on the situation in a calm tone.
Press Secretary of the Department of Food Resources in Moscow, Leonid Ivakin told The New Times, that "regrets that the route was closed in Moscow." However, he said, the city has a revolving supply of food, so do not fear that the products would not be enough.
However, upon closer investigation, that these stocks are not bottomless. In February, the first deputy head of the Department of Food Resources in Moscow Victor alder said that stocks of meat in enough at 1.5 months, the fish - for 2 months, oil - for 1 month.
According to the Director General of the Institute of Agricultural Marketing Elena Tyurina, a reduction in product variety due to customs issues quite effectively, in fact, this may lead to further price increases on products.
According to the head of the Department of Consumer Market and Services, Vladimir Malyshkova, now in Moscow's food stores sold imported mainly from stocks purchased another "pre-crisis' prices. However, imports will inevitably rise. In addition to growth in the dollar and the euro is now the price will affect and customs risks.
