Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin has announced the development of unified rules for displaying prices on marketplaces. This was reported by TASS, citing the head of the cabinet.
According to Mishustin, the key principle of the new regulations is that the price of a product on online platforms should no longer depend on the payment method chosen by the customer. The Prime Minister noted that citizens are concerned about the possible loss of the familiar conditions for purchasing and receiving goods at affordable prices.
In addition to the pricing issue, the forthcoming draft law will also regulate the procedure for verifying information about goods. It is planned that data will be verified through state information systems and registries, including information on labeling and certificates.
"What is important in this approach, in the new law, is the introduction of a procedure for verifying information about goods through state information systems and relevant state registries, including labeling and certificates. This is the introduction of unified rules for price display that do not depend on the means of payment. People are worried about this; they are concerned that certain changes might simply take away the opportunity to buy the affordable goods they are used to, with convenient delivery," the head of government emphasized.
Furthermore, during his speech, Mishustin announced plans to introduce preferences for self-employed citizens participating in the voluntary social pension insurance program.
