Abstract: In the context of the reform of state control and supervision in the financial sector, new instruments of control and supervision are being generated, which include monitoring. Using the example of tax and customs monitoring, the article highlights and substantiates current trends in the legal regulation of control and supervisory activities in the modern period.
The author identifies the general and distinctive features of tax and customs monitoring, substantiates the current directions of their legal regulation. As common features of the institutions under consideration, the following are highlighted: the conditionality of their generation by the digital transformation of state control and supervision, elements of dispositivity, increased transparency of interaction, the role of self-control, limited use, and the development of individual legal regulation. Various formats of regulatory consolidation and criteria for limiting the use of monitoring are indicated as differences between tax and customs monitoring. To achieve the stated goal, methods of system analysis, synthesis, classification, comparative legal and formal legal methods were used. The novelty of the conducted research lies in the proposed options for the theoretical and legal positioning of monitoring as a tool of control, a type of public service, a tool to achieve a balance of private and public interests. The analysis made it possible to identify the features of monitoring used in the tax and customs spheres, which form new approaches to modern tools of state control and supervision in the financial sector. It is concluded that monitoring is positioned as an instrument of the appropriate type of control. At the same time, tax monitoring is clearly defined by the legislator as a new form of tax control, in the centralized sphere of control and supervisory influence, monitoring is understood as a special regime of remote state control (supervision), and the legal status of customs monitoring at the regulatory level in the customs control system is currently not defined.
The conclusion is made about the proximity of monitoring to public services, which is reflected in the sign of voluntary participation in the mechanisms of tax and customs monitoring.

Abstract: In the context of external challenges and threats, integration and digitalization of the economy, attention is growing to the issues of exhaustion of rights or parallel imports. The article considers the issues of exhaustion of exclusive rights to intellectual property objects from the point of view of ensuring security.The object of the study is the model of exhaustion of exclusive intellectual property rights in Russia, its features from the point of view of ensuring various types and levels of security. Based on the proposed periodization of the legal regulation of exhaustion of rights in Russia in the context of Eurasian economic integration, the author examines the formed model of exhaustion of intellectual property rights, highlights its features, identifies options for its scientific justification from the standpoint of ensuring national security in the context of internal and external threats.Methods of systemic, historical and institutional analysis, formal logical and comparative legal methods were used. The author proposes a periodization of the legal regulation of exhaustion of rights in Russia in the context of Eurasian economic integration, a classification of participants in legal relations directly or indirectly involved in the mechanisms of creation, use and turnover of intellectual property rights.
Attention is drawn to three aspects of the mechanism of exhaustion of rights that has developed and is developing in Russia: the conceptual apparatus of the mechanism, the complexity and multilevel nature of the security provided by it and the mobile nature of the mechanism of exhaustion of rights.
Conclusion are drawn that in modern Russia the established model of exhaustion of rights, combining elements of regional and international principles of exhaustion, can be considered as a way to counteract sanctions pressure, measures to protect domestic copyright holders, producers and consumers, measures to support the domestic economy, conditions for the formation and strengthening of technological sovereignty. It is proved that the established correlation of various models of exhaustion of rights in Russia reflects the dominance of aspects of national security protection, the strengthening of economic components of intellectual property rights protection.

Abstract: The subject of the research is the institution of monitoring in the financial sector. The purpose of the work is to analyze the legal regulation and practice of implementing monitoring in the financial sector and to highlight, based on the analysis, significant administrative and procedural trends in its development. On the basis of combining the categories of tax and customs monitoring, the author singles out the category of monitoring in the financial sector. Based on the analysis of the legal regulation of monitoring in the financial sector in the modern period, the correlation of monitoring with audit and evaluation in the financial sector is highlighted, the connection of monitoring with the processes of digitalization of financial control is substantiated, and administrative and procedural trends in its regulation are indicated. A dedicated monitoring institution in the financial sector is positioned as an instrument of financial control. At the same time, a comparison of the areas of monitoring use allows us to determine that tax monitoring is enshrined in tax legislation as a form of control, and customs monitoring is regulated at the sub-legal level and is still carried out in an experimental mode. The connection of monitoring in the financial sector with audit, assessment and self-assessment is indicated. The conclusion is made about the digitalization of control and supervision in the financial sector as a condition for the introduction of monitoring tools. Attention is drawn to the scientific positioning of monitoring as a way to resolve and prevent disputes in the financial sector.

Abstract: The author considers administrative and legal regulation of internal monitoring of customs agencies’ activities in the modern period and defines its correlation with customs control. In the author’s opinion, both types of control are the elements of the control and supervision structure within law enforcement activities of customs agencies. The author draws attention to the fact that internal monitoring in its administrative and procedural sense is regulated on the Federal Customs Service level and serves as the secondary control as compared to customs control. The absence of legislative regulation of administrative procedures of internal monitoring is outlined by the author as the main problem of administrative and legal regulation of internal monitoring of customs agencies’ activities in the Russian Federation in the modern period. The research methodology is based on such specific scientific methods as comparative-legal and formal-legal. The author comes to the following conclusions: administrative and legal regulation of internal monitoring of customs agencies’ activities is carried out on the FCS level; internal monitoring in relation to customs control serves as the secondary control and ensures the observance of legality in customs affairs, and rights and legal interests of persons controlled by customs agencies. The author suggests formalizing administrative procedures of internal monitoring in legislation.

Abstract: The research object is the notion of the object of customs control as a function of customs bodies. The author analyzes the legislative provisions and scientific views on of the object of customs control. The study of the evolution of the “object of customs control” category in the Soviet and Russian customs legislation is of a particular importance. The object of customs control is considered as an element of the customs control system and as a subsystem with two levels. The first level is reflected in the activities of subjects under control, the second level is reflected in goods, documents and information. The author applies special scientific methods, including the comparative-legal and the formal-legal ones. The author concludes that the object of customs control as a subsystem, lying beyond the customs bodies system, defines the vector of control and supervision functions of customs bodies; the object of customs control is the compulsory element of the customs control system in general; the author presents two levels of customs control: the activities of the subject under control and the goods, documents, information and persons. 

Abstract: The research subject is internal control of the activities of customs bodies of the Russian Federation, its legal regulation, directions and time frame, and the comparative analysis of internal and customs control. The author pays attention to the correlation between customs and internal control as the forms of government control. The common element for the both forms of control is the subject of control represented by a customs body. At the same time, the objects of customs and internal control, their objectives and consequences are different. Moreover, the paper defines the notion of external control which should be applied together with the internal one. The research methodology is based on the analysis of the current customs legislation and the scientific literature in this field. The author applies historical and comparative-legal methods. The author formulates the provisions about the correlation between customs and internal control and the balance between them as a basis for ensuring legality in the work of customs bodies of the Russian Federation. The author outlines the common features and the peculiarities of customs and internal control and comes to the conclusion that the observance of rights of the participants of customs legal relations is possible given that the optimal balance between internal and external control of the activities of customs bodies is preserved. 

Abstract: The research object is oversight functions of customs agencies. In the author’s opinion, the administrative and legal status of customs agencies as the subjects of customs control is based on their competence, which includes the set of oversight authorities of a customs agency. The author differentiates oversight and jurisdictional authorities of customs bodies. The paper contains the definition of oversight functions of customs agencies; the author differentiates two directions, based on the control vector: those related to the subordinate subjects and those related to independent subjects. Besides, the author denotes the limits of oversight functions of customs authorities and introduces the concept of an “oversight space” in relation to customs control. The author applies the methods of structural and functional and system analysis, systematization and modeling, and the formal-legal method. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the definition of the legal notion of “oversight functions of customs agencies”, the detection of their temporal, spatial, procedural and functional limits. The customs agency’s competence, including oversight functions, is the base of the administrative and legal status of customs agencies as the subjects of customs control. Besides, the author introduces the concept of an “oversight space” in relation to customs control. 

Abstract: The research object is the correlation of concepts “customs control” and “safety”. Despite the fact that customs agencies are traditionally considered as government agencies, ensuring public and state security, the issues of correlation between customs control and safety provision haven’t been studied sufficiently enough. The author presents her own position on the definition of the correlation of security and effectiveness of customs control. The author pays attention to the fact that at present, the issues of personal safety, the safety of the society and the state in customs regulation are especially important, since they appeal to the constitutional rights and personal freedoms. The author applies general scientific (analysis, synthesis, systematization) and special (formal-legal and comparative-legal) research methods. The author comes to the conclusions about the correlation of customs control, its effectiveness and safety. Firstly, the author states that safety provision is the fundamental principle and the aim of customs control. Secondly, the effectiveness of customs control is considered by the author as a factor of safety provision. Consequently, the provision of the necessary level of safety is the most important criterion of the effectiveness of customs control. 

Abstract: The subject of the research includes administrative procedures within the custom authorities' fulfilment of the state function of custom registration of intellectual property objects by the Federal Custom Service of Russia. The function in question includes a range of administrative procedures connected with receiving and consideration of the rightholders' applications, registration of intellectual property objects, excluding them from the Custom Register, amending of the Register, publication of the Register, informing custom authorities and interested parties of the Register, interaction between custom authorities and state authorities, citizens and organizations on the issues connected with the Register. The methodology of the research is based on the analysis of normative-legal acts in the sphere of transboundary protection of intellectual property rights and on the problem-chronological and structural methods. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that the author is the first  who considers administrative procedures of custom authorities in the process of fulfilment of the function of intellectual property rights protection on the base of the mechanism of work with the Custom Register of Intellectual Property Objects of Russia. On the base of the research the author offers the measures of administrative procedures optimization. In the conclusion the author offers the directions of enhancement of the administrative procedures in question which can give the opportunity to simplify the interrelations between rightholders and custom authorities and to improve the efficiency of the existing mechanism of transboundary protection of intellectual property objects by custom authorities. 

Abstract: Today we are facing the growing importance of customs control of released goods. The Federal Customs Service defines the control of goods after their release or so called 'post-control' as one of the strategic activities of the Russian Federation customs authorities. Modernization of the system of customs control of goods after their release is aimed at achieving the balance between simplification of customs procedures that guarantee timely inflow of financial funds into the federal budget as well as prevention of violations in the sphere of customs. The author of the article views particular aspects of the control of goods after their release as part of the process of protection of intellectual property rights. The main problems in this sphere include a rather limited number of administrative sanctions applied on the basis of results of control of intellectual property items after their release as well as the length of such control. The author of the article makes a conclusion that customs control of intellectual property items after their release can be a very effective measure in terms of cooperative activities with other state authorities and interdepartmental interaction between customs authorities. 

Abstract: Prior to the Olympic Games 2014 in Sochi the issues of legal protection of Olympic symbols become very important.
