Medvedev against concentration of land in hands of those who bought it for “growth”

He said this would apply to both agricultural land and other land within the boundaries of agricultural settlements

SHUMEIKA, Saratov region, September 5 (Itar-Tass) — Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev spoke against concentration of land in the hands of those who bought it for “growth”.

He said this would apply to both agricultural land and other land within the boundaries of agricultural settlements.

“This will probably require a separate meeting because the question of land turnover has unfortunately been handled very inadequately,” he said on Wednesday, September 5.

He asked Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich if this question could be solved without holding a new meeting.

Dvorkovich replied that he would prepare a decision that would not require another meeting.

Medvedev asked him to prepare the decision and give it to him “so that we could then pass it on quickly to the State Duma and the Federation Council to get it pushed through promptly. Otherwise we will keep beating the air”.
