The Xiaobian of the network introduces Russia: banning government departments from purchasing light industrial products outside the customs union.

In the face of large-scale sanctions in western countries, Russian Federation has promulgated a series of decrees to guide the government to purchase its own commodities, prohibit the government departments from purchasing some imported products, and if they want to purchase imported goods, they must submit detailed applications to the Ministry of industry.

This is not only against Western sanctions, but also for protecting the development of domestic industries.

Hugo network learned from the Russian media "lenta.ru" recently that the Russian Federation government prime minister Dmitri Medvedev signed a series of government decree to limit the government procurement of foreign cars and other products.

The business newspaper quoted the relevant provisions of the Russian federal government as saying that from September 1st, the Russian government departments and other public procurement departments shall not purchase light industrial products, raw materials or semi-finished products produced by countries other than customs allies.

(PS:2010) since January 1st, the customs union of Russia, Kazakhstan and Kazakhstan launched the unified import tariff.

Since July 6th, customs union Customs Law has entered into force.

Since July 1, 2011, the three countries have established a unified customs space, unified certification, abolished customs clearance, and formed a customs union.

The ban covers all textiles and parts of it.

It contains 18 kinds of goods, including clothes, shoes, ropes, harness, rubber soles, etc.

If the federal government procurement department wants to purchase foreign products, it must first submit a statement to the Ministry of industry, which must specify the name, code, quality requirements, and suppliers of products abroad and suppliers in Russia.

The Ministry of industry and Commerce will review the documents submitted by purchasers within one month under the supervision of trade unions.

There is no doubt that these regulations increase the difficulty of avoiding the ban.

The document also pointed out that the ban was not related to the recent "war sanction", but recent developments may accelerate the implementation of the injunction law.

It is reported that the draft ban was raised in the spring, and there were other incentives in May, that is, President Putin asked the government to make an industrial and agricultural import substitution plan.

In July this year, the government had banned relevant departments from purchasing foreign made cars and public pport facilities, and restricted the import of large medical equipment.

Last week, the Ministry of Finance announced the latest requirement of the bill, that is, foreign companies can not participate in government tenders which have been invited by two Russia Company.

This measure does not violate the rules of WTO that allow preferential conditions for domestic producers to be allowed in government procurement.

Russia has not yet signed a government procurement agreement on "the government."

In this case, the restricted countries can not sue Russia in WTO.
