A bill on the introduction of a “Russian shelf” (a section containing products of Russian companies) in the country’s retail chains may be submitted for consideration to the State Duma of the Russian Federation in the spring session. This was published on the newspaper’s website. “News”.
The publication states that the bill is supported by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Finance, Rospatent, Rospotrebnadzor, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Economic Development. The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) opposed this. They believe the new rules could increase the prices of goods.
“Russia Shelf” involves the creation of a place in retail chains of companies located on the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as products owned by Russians or Belarusian citizens. The quota for these should not exceed 50% of the shelves of retail chains.
Before that, State Duma deputy Artem Metelev statedStores in Russia will be able to share only 1% of products as food.
He noted that we are talking about products whose shelf life has expired and that you will not need to pay VAT when sending them to food sharing.
