wholesale trade of the means of production) and of the peculiar nature prevailing in the fish industry, a necessity arose for reorganizing the fish industry. To solve the problems connected with the material and technical supplies to be provided for the fish industry relatively quickly and sufficiently, it is necessary to take decisions regarding formation of a voluntary inter-regional organization that would be occupied with the material and technical servicing of the enterprises of the fish industry. Moreover, it would be expedient to combine the supply and marketing organizations into a single wholesale-intermediary firm with subdivisions in all regions (areas) on the basis of the existing basin supply and marketing associations. This will make it possible to make more efficient the equivalent exchange of fish produce for the material and technical resources. The world experience in conducting the affairs in the fish industry in developed countries shows that such a complicated fund-consuming industry needs help from the state. This is especially so for our country, where 80% of the capital assets are consumed by the fleet whose wear is as high as 50%. The needs of the fleet for the next five years in the prices of 1991 amount to 10.8 milliard roubles, but today only 3.18 milliard roubles, i.e., 29.4% of the minimal need, have actually been allotted by the government. It is testified by the calculations carried out in 1991 that to cover the expenses in foreign currency which were in the previous years allotted by the government for the needs of the fish industry, the enterprises must export 3.5-3.7 million tons of fish goods, and the volume of fish supplies abroad must increase up to 4.3 million tons, meaning thereby that this will constitute 85% of the whole output. Correspondingly, the per capita consumption of fish products in our country will decrease to 5 kg- This clearly shows that even under the conditions of the market economy the centralized state financing in roubles and foreign currency must continue. The federal budget and nonbudgetary organizations must finance industrial units which produce facilities to turn out production for nationwide needs, for the solution of interindustrial and inter-regional problems, the industrial sphere objects, works connected with realization of countrywide programs. With perfect and legitimate taxation, price and credit mechanisms, and with the transformation of the state property to other forms of property, the forms of budgetary financing will be replaced by the own means of enterprises and organizations and proper crediting and other facilities under the conditions of market relations. First of all, credits must be given for the construction of enterprises which would provide for an increase in the output of fish products in the next 2-3 years and also to the units of the construction industry ensuring the fulfillment of the social program as well as to objects included within the state programs. A centralized fund must be established in the fish industry at the expense of payments for fish supplies. The charges for fish supplies must be regarded as a new economic category of item which regulates the cost accounting interrelations of organizations that explicit them and control the state of the raw materials base, bearing in mind the processes of reconnoitering, investigation, forecasting, protection and reproduction of fish resources. The expenses must be met by fishing enterprises and 6 0
