In the near future amendments will be drafted to the relevant regulations.  

Next items on the agenda concerned FAS informational support. Deputy Director of FAS IT Centre Alexander Gorbachov talked about systematization and algorythmization of tariff regulation methods for reporting to be submitted to the Integrated Information Analysis System (IIAS).
