Darii Khalitov, Deputy President and Chairman of the Management Board of Rostelecom
In todays realities, it is extremely important to create an optimal regulatory framework that takes into account both the interests of business and the states tasks in ensuring technological sovereignty. Excessive regulatory requirements can significantly complicate the process of transition to a domestic stack. Determining the timing of import substitution, as well as other requirements, should be based on the real capabilities of business and take into account the current situation in the market of domestic vendors of software and electronic products.
Many speakers noted the need for coordinated action by market participants.
Darius Khalitov:
Now regulators and businesses are faced with a fundamentally new situation - the need to ensure the technological independence of key industries of the economy in an extremely short time. It is very important to look for common points of understanding for optimization and prompt changes to current procedures. It is necessary to involve businesses and the expert community in the creation of a regulatory framework at all stages: from the preparation of acts to their adoption. Rostelecom made proposals to improve the regulatory framework in the field of import substitution of critical information infrastructure:
reduction of excessive information requirements when forming an import substitution plan, which create a burden on critical information infrastructure entities;
analysis of industry specifics and approval of the procedure for agreeing on the shift of deadlines at critical information infrastructure facilities beyond 2030;
optimization of obtaining conclusions on the absence of domestic analogues in order to minimize the bureaucratic and financial burden on businesses.
Darius Khalitov noted that Rostelecom is currently actively involved in improving the regulatory framework. The company is in constant dialogue with the market and regulators. The meeting was also attended by Russian senators, Rosatom and representatives of manufacturing companies, critical information infrastructure entities, software developers, public organizations, and the expert community.
