Morbidity because of micronutrient insufficiency is still high.

Order of the Federal Service of Enforcement in the Sphere of Protection of Consumer Rights and Human Well-Being No. 228 of August 3, 2006 on the Measures to Improve Efficiency of Work Pertaining to Protection of Consumer Rights in the Sphere of Shared Housing Construction <br>
Proceeding from assessment of the work of the bodies of the Federal Service of Enforcement in the Sphere of Protection of Consumer Rights and Human Well-Being in 2005 and the first six months of 2006, there were 196 control checks carried out in the whole of the Russian Federation pertaining to economic subjects attracting monetary resources of citizens for construction in apartment houses. In many subjects of the Russian Federation, similar measures were not carried out at all.
As a result of the checks, the territorial bodies of the Federal Service of Enforcement in the Sphere of Protection of Consumer Rights and Human Well-Being initiated 86 cases of administrative violations where only 21 resulted in fines imposed on legal entities for administrative responsibility.
In the same period of time, territorial bodies of the Federal Service of Enforcement in the Sphere of Protection of Consumer Rights and Human Well-Being received 402 appeals pertaining to various aspects of protection of rights of citizens in the sphere of shared construction. 41 applicants enjoyed practical aid pertaining to preparation and submission of the appropriate lawsuit. In 28 cases, territorial bodies of the Federal Service of Enforcement in the Sphere of Protection of Consumer Rights and Human Well-Being participated in court proceedings and issued statements in cases of protection of consumer rights.
The mentioned results clearly show insufficient use on the part of the bodies of the Federal Service of Enforcement in the Sphere of Protection of Consumer Rights and Human Well-Being of their appropriate authority. There is no an approved practice of judicial protection of consumers in individual subjects of the Russian Federation where violation of the rights of citizens in the sphere of housing construction is of large-scale and systematic nature (Moscow City, Moscow Province).
To achieve a qualitatively new level of work in protection of consumer rights, the task is set for the territorial departments of the Federal Service of Enforcement in the Sphere of Protection of Consumer Rights and Human Well-Being to stimulate the work to apply measures of restrictive and preventive nature aimed at prevention, revealing and stopping violations of consumer rights in the sphere of construction of apartment houses. Territorial bodies of the Federal Service of Enforcement in the Sphere of Protection of Consumer Rights and Human Well-Being are ordered to analyse in the second six months of 2006 the contracts between construction parties and citizens to reveal in these contracts the terms violating consumer rights while sewing the culpable for administrative responsibility. It is also suggested to improve the efficiency of work pertaining to judicial protection of consumer rights and provide for the interaction in issues of protection of consumer rights with the bodies of the subjects of the Russ ian Federation controlling the issues of shared construction of apartment houses.
The report of the work in the mentioned sphere in 2006 shall be submitted by the territorial bodies of the Federal Service of Enforcement in the Sphere of Protection of Consumer Rights and Human Well-Being on January 20, 2007 with attached copies of statements to courts and adopted court rulings. Summarised information shall be submitted by the Federal Centre of Hygiene and Epidemiology to the Federal Service of Enforcement in the Sphere of Protection of Consumer Rights and Human Well-Being until February 10, 2007.

Letter of the Federal Tax Service No. 09-1-03/3103 of June 16, 2006 <br>
The actual legislation does not have an efficient instrument to combat creation of nominal legal entities ("fly-by-night companies"). Therefore, the tax bodies send at their own initiative to other agencies, the Bank of Russia and commercial banks the lists of addresses of multiple registrations and the lists of persons with multiple registrations of enterprises to provide access to information significant for the determination of the risks of participation of organisations possessing nominal addresses and applicants in illegal schemes.
Nevertheless, the Federal Tax Service of Russia does not inspire to use the mentioned information as an absolute duty of the banks or as a single and sufficient reason to refuse to open an account to the potential client. It is expedient to use the lists of addresses of multiple registrations and the lists of multiple applicants in combination with other sources of information permitting credit organisations to combat legalisation (laundering) of incomes obtained in a criminal way and financing of terrorism.
