Russian businessmen will soon have a chance to contact the Prosecutor-General's Office to ask for protection of their rights online.

Sources at the PGO told Itar-Tass on Thursday the official Internet portal of the Prosecutor-General's Office had opened a special section entitled Prosecutor Supervision of the Observance of Rights of Economic Entities. In this section visitors find a special blank form they are invited to fill in case their rights have been violated.

"This sort of interaction will make it possible to piece together an accurate picture of whether the economic entities' rights are observed well enough and to devise the necessary legal measures, including proposed amendments to the existing legislation," the Prosecutor-General's Office said.

Prosecutor-General Yuri Chaika back last March issued a special order to tighten prosecutor supervision of regulatory acts issued by the federal, regional and local bodies of power and control bodies. Prosecutors were ordered to put the emphasis on preventing or terminating actions by authorities that unduly restrict the freedom of economic enterprise, on safeguarding the rights of businessmen in exercising state control procedures, on resistance to raider attacks and also on considering grievances by businessmen.

Prosecutor-General Yuri Chaika and his first deputy, Alexander Buksman at a meeting with the chairman of the national non-governmental organization Business Russia, Boris Titov, agreed that "time is ripe for creating a unified list of all inspections economic entities can be subject to."
