Such initiatives were taken at a meeting in the Federation Council devoted to the development of the automotive industry, the head of AvtoVAZ, Maxim Sokolov.
“Today we would like to outline a number of legislative initiatives on the Federation Council site, in addition to the topics already discussed. <…> As far as I know, a new version of the law on taxis is currently being discussed, this is a rather wide market in terms of the consumption of automotive products, and it seems to us possible to discuss a rule that would ensure a certain use of highly localized Russian-made cars by taxis. Also <…> the question of the possibility of using maternity capital to buy the first car, again, highly localized, domestic, “TASS quotes Maxim Sokolov.
The ability to spend mother’s capital on buying a car will improve the financial support of young families and will contribute to car sales, Sokolov is sure. Earlier, the same point of view was expressed by many experts and deputies of the State Duma. For young families, a car is often vital. With a child, mobility becomes a very important factor for families.
With this problem, many families turn, for example, to the Vice-Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Education, Yana Lantratova, who has already sent an appeal with a proposal to spend maternity capital on buying a car to the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Tatyana Golikova.
