The russian satellite navigation system (Glonass) will soon start operating globally. The bill “Regarding Navigation Activity” was approved on Friday by the State Duma in the final reading.
The bill creates the legal platform for co-operation of all users of the russian navigation system in different spheres of economy and regulates the use of Glonass for defence and security purposes.
The document specifies the powers of the President, the state and regional governments, companies and individuals in the navigation sphere.
