Ministry of Economics has sent a negative opinion on the proposal of the RUIE on the compulsory transfer of quasi-Russian companies to Russia. The Ministry believes that the draft law may be perceived as an extrajudicial and gratuitous deprivation of a foreign holding's property, which contradicts the principles of protection of property rights and international treaties on protection of capital investments, as well as causing retaliatory measures which would affect the country's companies. The position of the Ministry was supported by the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Justice, and the Bank of Russia.
