Obligatory requirements for entrepreneurial activity: definition of the concept

The article examines the concept of «mandatory requirements», enshrined in domestic legislation. The author analyzes the definition of this concept, which contains a tautology in a legal definition, which prevents the formation of a precise mechanism for influencing entrepreneurs. The author considers it inadmissible to consolidate mandatory requirements in normative acts, except for federal laws, as not complying with the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
