It revealed monitoring conducted the State Control Committee of the Vitebsk region. Total in the region more than a hundred investment. Their successful implementation - this new production, jobs, increase tax revenues. But 32 of them do not fit the schedule, and 14 and not advanced beyond the signing of agreements of intent.
Why? Here is one example. Peasant farm "EkoRay" Polonsky on a lake in the Vitebsk region going to build a sports and tourist complex. It planned to invest more than $ 2.5 million. By the end of 2012 on the lake were to appear well-maintained beach, parking, hotel, cafe, rest houses. Then time moved to 2014 minutes. But when at the end of last year, said deputy head of the State Control Committee of Vitebsk region Vadim Volovich, his colleagues inspected the tourist site, which planned to build on the Polonsky, buildings were not seen :
- The lake is located near Vitebsk. There you can relax. The complex was supposed to organize 15 jobs. But since 2010, when the agreement was signed, the investor on the shore unless razravnyal sand. More than 20 hectares of land, including agricultural farmland "Ravens", nobody used zarasli grass.
For the investor, as it is known, provides benefits and preferences. He gets no land auction. That is it for the right to provide money does not pay. From paying value added tax on importation of equipment for site development, he also released. However, these advantages, according to Basil Vorzova, head of the peasant- farming " EkoRay " the problem of attracting investment in the country is not completely solved :
- When we Polonsky began posting warning signs that construction work will begin, began to put the barrier, the locals suddenly afraid. Allegedly, they bathe in the lake can not they catch fish there forbid... All fence uprooted from " meat" ! Complaints began to write. Lawyers Russian partner learned from the situation and the project was abandoned. Worry for the safety of private capital, which was supposed to invest in sports and tourist complex... May need changes in legislation.
Investment project for the development of airport infrastructure "Vitebsk" was probably one of the largest in the Vitebsk region. Czech company intended to invest in it 50 million euros. Until the end of 2013. Supposed to build hangar complex maintenance of small aircraft, offices, hotel. They also spoke about the opening of the airline companies refueling aircraft, creating a logistics center. Investor even made ??an advance payment for two aircraft L- 410. But to Vitebsk, unfortunately, the planes are not flown.
According to the deputy chairman of the Vitebsk regional economy Constantine Black, Czech investor today as a business entity has ceased to exist. Collapsed. He founded the company on the territory of Belarus are in the process of liquidation. And Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee sent a letter to the Ministry of Transport of the need to prepare a draft resolution for the termination of the Council of Ministers investdogovora. If the potential of the project studied in more detail, suggests Volovich, 2 years would not have lost in vain;
- And it's not the only example of which indicate a lack of elaboration of prior investments. Yet in 2012, one of the capital of limited liability companies wanted to build in the Vitebsk region 6 filling stations with cafes and mini-market. When it came to choosing locations, it turned out that there are already working the gas station the other owners. But the biggest problem with investment that stalled - is an inefficient use of land. Bad when land where supposed to implement projects, idle for years. Contract in which case you should look for a break and more agile partners.
With "EkoRay" Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee had already decided to terminate the investment agreement by the parties. When the investment project is important for the region, local authorities, of course, will revise the terms of its implementation. But these recent years, according to Konstantin Black was a bit :
- Mainly through investment we have built shopping malls. In order that the land must work more efficiently, absolutely agree. However, about assessing the potential investor is not so simple. We do not consider other people's money. Yes, and no one will give us to do that. Attract financial flows - a task merchant. If you fail - so partners were unable to agree, the crisis came. Never know the reasons... So about a third of the announced projects and can not be implemented. Investors who did not get a deal, they leave. In their place come the other. By the way, wishing to invest in the airport "Vitebsk" is now.
In Vitebsk region SCC noted that large commercial properties in the region are constructed as investment projects. That is the provision of benefits. However, supervisors are given a reasonable question :
- And whether preferences in this lucrative business? Land for shopping centers are likely to be bought and auctioned.
In this matter, there is another interesting detail. In investdogovora where spelled out responsibilities of the parties, said : " In the case of improper performance of obligations the offender pays a fine, which can be a maximum of 10 percent of the work." To someone from her unsuccessful investors paid specialists, with whom this writer spoke, never heard of. Although, perhaps, it's better. Investment climate in the country, such claims would not have improved. But, on the other hand, the word is also a businessman should be worth something...
