The Berg-regulation is a legislative act issued in 1739 and establishes a slightly different, compared with the previous, mountain management system ( Berg-privilege ). Canceled in 1742 with the abolition of the berg-directory .
Provisions
The main task of the berg regulation was to supplement and develop the berg privileges. As such, B.-r. reduced the taxation of industrialists, allowing them to pay not all, but only 2/3 of the copper smelted by them to the state treasury, the rest they were allowed to freely sell on the market. So, the registration of state peasants to private factories was allowed. In addition, industrialists were exempted from paying taxes and duties on food and supplies supplied to factories . In addition, under the conditions of then dominant Bironism, foreign citizens were granted equal rights and obligations with Russian industrialists. The main merit of the Berg regulation was that it consolidated the elimination of the preemptive right of land owners to develop mineral resources within their patrimony. After 1739, this predominantly (although not exclusive) right to use was obtained not by the land owners, but by those scouts who discovered them first. The owners of the land, however, continued to receive part of the income from mining. Although the Berg regulation itself was canceled in 1782 , some of its provisions remained valid until 1807 [1] .
