Debarkaders added buoyancy

The capital’s authorities are inferior in the fight against floating restaurants by the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) of Russia won the trial of the Moscow traffic police in the protection of the rights of owners of debroso. Previously, the FAS forced the metropolitan government to cancel orders for the dismantling of the debrkaders posted in the waters of the Moscow River. Thus, the warlike statements of city officials about the withdrawal of objectionable boats have not yet been verified by court claims. However, the city hall does not intend to give up.

According to the FAS press service, on January 12, 2009, the ninth Arbitration Court of Appeal left the decision of the Moscow Arbitration Court, refusing the traffic police of the Moscow Central District Hospital to satisfy the appeal against the decision of the court of first instance. The trial began in September 2007, when several complaints from the owners of the debrkaders about the actions of the Moscow government, the Moscow State University Mosvodokanal, the GUP Gormost, the traffic police department, and OJSC Moscow City Electric Graduate Company received. All these departments and organizations participated in the capital -announced in the summer of 2007 by the metropolitan authorities of the campaign against the debarkaders, which, as a rule, housed restaurants and hotels.

The city leadership has repeatedly announced the withdrawal of all the debarkaders (then there were 26 in the capital), the mayor Yuri Luzhkov even called them "environmental terrorists." As a result, city services, together with environmental police, began to conduct regular raids. The authorities managed to withdraw several debarcaders, and a number of others were disconnected from communications - light, water.

Having examined the appeals, the FAS Russia opened the case and in the spring of 2008 recognized the Moscow government and the departments of the antimonopoly legislation mentioned by the violators for an unjustified obstacle to business entities. They were ordered to eliminate violations.

This decision of the FAS was appealed in courts. In particular, the claims were filed by the government of Moscow and the traffic police. However, success in trial is still on the side of the antimonopoly service. Moreover, in mid -December, the capital's authorities provided documents in the FAS, indicating the implementation of the instruction of the antimonopoly service. In other words, the city hall had to cancel orders for the dismantling of debrkaders in the waters of the Moscow River.

However, at the same time, the capital's authorities do not intend to give up. At the end of last year, the head of the Department of Nature Management and Environmental Protection, Leonid Bochin, said that the work on the conclusion of the debrkaders will continue with the start of navigation in 2009.
