Afanasieva, V.I. Innovations in industrial production and law of the Western Europe and Russia (XV – XIX centuries).

Abstract: In relations related to production sharing agreements, the powers of the State as a subject of ownership of the subsoil are closely intertwined with its prerogatives of a public authority, a sovereign guarantor and defender of the subsoil, ensuring their inalienable, inalienable nature, their safety and rational use. As a result, elements of public law relations related to the special regime of subsurface use inevitably fall into the orbit of the production sharing agreement, become an integral part of the agreement along with the civil relations of the parties.
