As reported by RIA Novosti, she indicated that they are incomparable with the income of the violating enterprises.

“For two years we have never corrected fines.

Environmental fines are the incentive mechanism and are the smallest in the country.

Not a single control body, not a single area of ​​law has - neither Rospotrebnadzor, nor Rostekhnadzor, no one else has such meager and ridiculous fines, "Rodionova noted.

According to her, Russian enterprises have no incentive to introduce technologies that reduce emissions into the environment.

At the same time, the head of the department emphasized that it is impossible to reduce the volume of pollution in the country by raising fines alone.

As explained by Rodinova, in order to correct the situation in this matter, in particular, a monitoring system and methods for calculating damage to the environment are needed.
