Abstract
This Order validates regulation for the introduction of the electronic “Risk Analysis” system to oversee activities involving the cultivation and handling of cannabis plants containing up to 0.2% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) for industrial, non-narcotic purposes. The regulation applies to cultivation, import/export, processing, storage, sale, acquisition, and transportation of such cannabis and establishes a digital framework for assessing the risk of legal violations by business entities operating in this sector.
The regulation sets out general principles for risk assessment and requires the electronic system to comply with national standards governing risk-based state supervision. Risk analysis may rely on administrative records, statistical data, complaints, media sources, results of control purchases, and other lawful information sources. Importantly, the system cannot itself serve as a basis for imposing sanctions, businesses cannot be required to submit documents solely for risk analysis purposes, and the assessment process must not interfere with normal business operations. Businesses retain the right to challenge risk assessment results before higher authorities or courts.
The regulation introduces a scoring system that classifies enterprises into low, medium, and high-risk categories. Scores between 81 and 100 indicate high risk, 61 to 81 indicate medium risk, and below 61 indicate low risk. Risk indicators include non-compliance with cultivation and technical standards, absence of qualified THC-testing laboratories, inadequate video surveillance, deficiencies in equipment and infrastructure, failures in occupational and fire safety, insufficient measures to minimize THC levels, and violations of storage and security requirements. Higher-risk entities may be subject to preventive measures and inspections under existing legislation, while inspections are not conducted for entities classified as low risk.
