The government reviewed the draft law on market regulation and proposed finalizing it. In particular, exclude from the document the restriction on the number of changes in the offer agreement and the prohibition on selling products under its own brand on the markets.
The government proposed to modify the bill that regulates the functioning of the markets. RBC writes about this.
In particular, the bill proposes to adjust the limit on the number of changes to the offer agreement, as it limits the flexibility of the markets in relation to market conditions.
It is also proposed not to prohibit fines on counterparties and blocking their personal accounts in the markets to influence unscrupulous sellers and owners of order collection points.
In addition, the government asked the authors of the bill to explain why it is necessary to prohibit the sale of products under its own brand in the markets. For example, Yandex.Market called this ban a direct restriction on competition.
In September 2023, a bill to regulate the functioning of markets was submitted to the State Duma. The adoption of the document in its current version may lead to an increase in prices, because it will force the owners of online platforms to increase commissions to sellers and intermediaries for next year, Ozon noted.
