According to Izvestia, in March, the Ministry of Industry and Trade will submit to the government a bill amending the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, which provides for penalties for non-compliance with the minimum mandatory share of purchases of Russian goods.
“Currently, the Ministry of Industry and Trade is developing a draft law, collecting proposals from interested federal executive bodies, representatives of public organizations and businesses. Its task is to ensure that the customer complies with the minimum share of purchases of Russian goods. The deadline for submission to the government of the Russian Federation is scheduled for March 2022, and its submission to the State Duma – in September of this year, ”the press service of the ministry confirmed to Izvestia.
According to the law “On the contract system in the field of procurement of goods, works, services to meet state and municipal needs”, the customer is obliged to make the minimum share of such purchases, if it is established by the Cabinet, the Ministry of Industry and Trade emphasized. If at the end of the year the volume of Russian goods does not correspond to this established share, then it is necessary to prepare a justification for the impossibility of achieving it.
“A government decree approved the minimum mandatory share of purchases, requirements for the content and form of a report on the volume of purchases of Russian goods, as well as the procedure and criteria for assessing the fulfillment by the customer of the obligation to achieve the minimum share of purchases. But at the same time, legal liability for non-compliance with the above provisions is not currently provided for, ”the department explained.
