The Committee on Industrial and Regulatory Policy and Entrepreneurship recommends that the Parliament should reject the bill on amending the Law “On Market Supervision and Control of Inedible Products” (re increasing responsibility for violations)

29 February 2012, 15:40

The bill (Reg. No. 9691) is aimed at improving the legislation on responsibility for law violations connected with turnover of goods that do not meet the set requirements.

 

In particular, it is proposed to amend article 44 of the Law “On State Market Supervision and Control of Inedible Products” by stipulating a substantial increase of fines for violating the laws on turnover of inedible goods.

 

Members of the Committee stressed that the explanatory letter to the bill does not contain substantial grounds testifying to the inefficiency of the existing fines. In addition, people’s deputies noted that the Law “On Market Supervision and Control of Inedible Products”, which is being amended, has recently come into force, and, therefore, the practice of its implementation is insufficient.
