Features investment contracts with participation of public formations
The peculiarity of the Russian economy is the large share of participation in it of the state and other public legal entities. In such circumstances, one of the most effective tools to ensure the stability and predictability of investment activities are agreements with the participation of public legal entities, which are fixed for the period of the agreement all the conditions of investment activities, including tax and customs regime, control regime, etc., as well as guarantees of their provision and the responsibility of the parties for violation of the terms of the investment agreement. Contractual forms of investment in Russia are quite diverse. One of them is bilateral investment civil transactions (mutual contracts of sale, contract, paid services), the will of the participants of which is directed towards each other (to meet mutual interests). Investment agreements involving public entities are civil contracts. Their conclusion on the basis of an administrative act of a public authority does not mean that they are administrative treaties. The authorized body of public law education concludes an investment agreement and participates in it on an equal basis with a private investor. The principle of equality of partners in an investment agreement is its key feature.
