The purpose of carrying out the ARI procedure is to identify provisions launching excessive obligations, prohibitions and restrictions for the subjects of business and investing activities or to promote their introduction and also provisions promoting the emergence of unreasonable expenses of the subjects of business and investing activities and budgets of the subjects of the Russian Federation [1].
In pursuance of the Presidential decree of the Russian Federation of May 07, 2012 No. 601 "About the main directions of enhancement of system of public administration" the Federal law of July 02, 2013 No. 176-FL "About modification of the Federal law "about the General Principles of the Organization of Legislative (Representative) and Executive Bodies of the Government of Subjects of the Russian Federation" and articles 7 and 46 of the Federal law "About the General Principles of the Organization of Local Self-government in the Russian Federation" concerning ARI projects of regulatory legal acts and examination of regulatory legal acts", fixed carrying out the ARI procedure of projects of regulatory legal acts of the subjects of the Russian Federation and projects of municipal regulatory legal acts has been adopted.
When carrying out the ARI procedure experts reveal four key problems preventing business:
1) Non-transparent ministerial procedures.
2) Excessive obligations, restrictions and prohibitions for subjects of business and investing activities.
3) Unreasonable expenses of subjects of business and investing activities.
4) Uncertainty of the applied terminology due to the technique of carrying out anti-corruption examination of regulatory legal acts is a corruptogenic factor.
Carrying out the ARI procedure influences on forming the effective system of standard legal support of innovative activities of the Khabarovsk territory and other subjects of the Russian Federation. In turn, it cannot help in reflecting in such international indicator of World Bank Rankings as a country line item under the terms of business, including exerting impact on its innovative development.
In 2015 the Russian Federation has improved the line items directly on 30 points and has risen with 92 to the 62nd place in a rating (table 1).
On degree of usefulness of conditions for business activity the country ranges between Greece (61) and Moldova (63). In 2015 the results were the best for the country during its observation. In 2011 Russia took the 120th place where there is Brazil now due to the data of 2015 [4]. Nevertheless, there are still many other developed countries of the world which are in advance of Russia according to the rankings.

Key indicators of the Russian Federation in the international rankings are the following indicators [3]:
- simplicity in business registration – the 34th place;
- simplicity in property rights registration – the 12th place;
- level of lending – the 61th place;
- level of investor protection – the 100th place;
- level of taxation – the 49th place;
- easiness in conducting international trade – the 155th place;
- simplicity in liquidating enterprises – the 65th place;
- simplicity in connecting to power supply system – the 143d place;
- simplicity in receiving construction licenses – the 156th place.
Recently the implementation of the ARI procedure allowing to simplify business conditions in the country has influenced on some of these indicators mainly on registration of business and property rights, taxation level, connecting to power supply system and receiving construction licenses.
As the ARI procedure efficiency depends on the interests of the subject of the Russian Federation in improving the conditions of conducting business activity, its budget and the economy so that the quality evaluation of implementing ARI and expert is getting the most important task in the subjects of the Russian Federation.
In 2016 the best example of the experience of carrying out the ARI procedure of the regulatory legal acts aimed at regulating the innovation sector of special attention is the draft decree of the Government of the Arkhangelsk Region "About modification of the resolution dated on October 08, 2013 No. 462-pp "About approval of the Regulations on an order of carrying out tender on provision of subsidies for the subjects of small and middle entrepreneurship on support of business projects innovation" (further – the draft of the act). After carrying out the ARI procedure the following provisions introducing excessive restrictions for subjects of innovation activities have been excluded from the draft of the act:
- the legal entity or the individual entrepreneur can take part in tender on receiving a subsidy if at the moment of making decision about its procurement they work in the innovation sector more than one year;
- availability of Research and Development in a company as quantitative criterion for evaluating requests for receiving such subsidy.
These requirements complicated participating in such tender on receiving the subsidy of small innovative firms as well as startups. The second requirement, in turn, has been oriented on innovative activities assessment in the current and already developed companies performing costs for their Research and Development.
For the purpose of enhancing the institutional environment for conducting innovative business in the Khabarovsk territory in 2016 there had been planned the inspection of the current law of the Khabarovsk territory dated on October 30, 2013 No. 317 "About the state support of innovation activities in the Khabarovsk territory " identifying valid provisions in the law and launching excessive obligations, prohibitions and restrictions for the subjects of business and investment activities performing or planning to implement innovations.
To sum up the results of the ARI Institute implementation in advancing innovative development of entrepreneurship is too early. However, in contrary to identifying the concept "Sharp Respiratory Viral Infection" ARI has become like «the vaccine" for preventing and treating federal and regional legislation system from unreasonable decisions which complicate doing business from the part of the public authorities.
