MOSCOW. May 30 (Interfax) - The government will improve law enforcement and the actions of law enforcement agencies in order to create an environment for competition to thrive, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov said.

"Obviously, we still have a lot to do regarding competition both in terms of regulations and especially in law enforcement," Fradkov said speaking at the Sixth Annual Conference of the International Competition Network in Moscow on Wednesday.

"And this is a task not only for the Federal Antimonopoly Service, but also for a number of other public bodies, including law enforcement. This is one of the priorities of the government and we shall continue our serious efforts in this area," the premier said.

Fradkov noted that the government had set itself the task of making the Russian economy highly competitive, based on expertise, innovation, modern equipment and technologies, and "not dependent only on energy."

"We understand that our competitiveness abroad is inseparable with competitiveness at home, which is why the state will continue strengthening in every possible way economic freedom, freedom of enterprise, and ensure equal conditions for all economic agents," the premier said.
