2012 was not easy for the State Committee on Tariffs of the Republic of Tatarstan, because a number of important steps to improve the system of tariff regulation were implemented in the Republic. In particular, within the territory of the Republic of Tatarstan cross-subsidization was eliminated in the field of heat and water supply, sanitation and partly in power production. In accordance with the Order of the President of Tatarstan to ease social tensions a number of decisions aimed at ensuring the social protection of the population has been adopted. This was announced today by Prime Minister of the Republic Ildar Khalikov summing up the results of Board of the State Committee on Tariffs of the Republic of Tatarstan. The meeting summarized the work of the Committee in 2012 and the tasks for tariff policy in Tatarstan for the current year. As Ildar Khalikov noted the State Committee on Tariffs was perceived by many people as an entity which refers to energy production and housing and public utilities, since the population was mostly interested in these areas. “This is not the case. Many more tariffs being approved include health care, social services, and many other areas. The fact that we do not have the negative feedback or there is not so much of the latter, means that well-formed system work appeared in these areas. One of the main tasks of the Committee is to make such work appear in energy production and housing and public utilities”, said the Prime Minister of the Republic of Tatarstan.
