Order of the Acting Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation of No. 153-НК “On approval of the Rules for subsidizing part of the costs incurred by agricultural producers in investments aimed at introducing water-saving irrigation technologies”.

This Order primarily addresses the regulatory framework and procedural guidelines for providing investment subsidies to agricultural producers, specifically targeting water-saving irrigation technologies. It operates within the broader policy context of water resource management, agricultural development, and state support measures, emphasizing legal principles related to public support, transparency, and accountability. The legal and policy objectives include increasing the availability of goods, works, and services in investment projects by reducing capital intensity and promoting water-efficient technologies. Key measures outlined include the approval of subsidy regulations, the establishment of eligibility criteria for investment projects, and the procedures for applying, processing, and approving subsidy requests. The document specifies the use of electronic platforms for application submission, the role of specialized teams for project inspection, and the calculation of subsidy amounts based on actual investments. It also details restrictions on recipients, such as organizations with significant state ownership, and stipulates conditions for project implementation, including timelines, documentation, and compliance requirements. The measures aim to ensure transparency, proper allocation of funds, and adherence to legal standards. Implementation mechanisms involve the registration of orders with the Ministry of Justice, monitoring of project execution, and reporting obligations. Responsibilities are assigned to various government bodies, including the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation, local executive bodies, and financial institutions. The process includes procedures for application review, decision notifications, contract signing, and monitoring over a three-year period. Secondary themes encompass procedural safeguards, appeal processes, confidentiality obligations, and the use of electronic signatures, all explicitly detailed to facilitate compliance and enforceability within the established legal framework.
