Yuri Yevdokimov
According to Rosbaltnord.ru, the governor won the full support from all the members of the Counter-terrorism Committee. Mr. Yevdokimov’s proposals were also included in the meeting protocols.
The governor, an active and acknowledged representative of the Russian North, stressed that Russian positions in the North can only be strengthened with the vitalization of industrial activities in the region.
In connection with Russia’s upcoming membership in the the World Trade Organisation (WTO), the regional leader especially calls for new legislative measures to regulate economic, social and environmental affairs in Arctic areas. He also calls for the development of transport infrastructure and for oil and gas drilling on the Arctic shelf.
In the meeting, Governor Yevdokimov also expressed high hopes for the Russian Arctic Council, a new body now in the making. He stressed that some of the members of the National Counter-Terrorism Council should be represented in the new Arctic Council.
