State Duma Vice Speaker Irina Yarovaya proposed to hold parliamentary hearings, where manufacturers and trade representatives will meet to openly discuss relations. According to the deputy chairman of the State Duma, information about the shortage of products is nothing but a fake, a kind of ploy for the safety of discrimination between manufacturers.. "Intimidation by the shortage of products is nothing more than a stuffing of inaccurate information by lobbyists of retail chains and a crude deception of Russians.

I propose to hold parliamentary hearings in which domestic manufacturers and retail chains will meet and have the opportunity to honestly and openly discuss the issue of good faith relations between them, "Yarovaya said, the official website of the lower house of parliament says. In her opinion, food security and fair competition can only arise in an honest relationship between the creator of the product and its customer.. "Therefore, we are for honest dialogue and open discussion," said the deputy chairman of the State Duma, noting the "bullying" of retail chains, which return unrealized goods to producers. At the same time, the deputy reminded about the procedure under the contract of sale, when the manufacturer legally expects to deliver the goods and get paid for it. "The theme of" strangling "domestic producers through returning unrealized products to them by trading networks came to the federal agenda as an SOS signal from the regions and from domestic unions of producers," said the parliamentarian. This initiative, reported Yarovaya, was supported by 75 regions and 9 industry unions of producers. Over 600 round tables were held on this topic.. All were present participants of the food market. The vice speaker also voiced data from the official letter of the Association of Bakers of St. Petersburg, according to which more than 14 thousand were returned to its members.. tons of unsold bread worth about 1 billion 300 million rubles. "This is a direct loss to the manufacturer. According to their data, in 2017, returns increased by 20%, the politician summarized, explaining. - Deception about the deficit is a trick to preserve discrimination against manufacturers.. By the way, retailers have no right to return anything to foreign suppliers and never returned ".

On the shortage of products due to the ban on the return of goods previously mentioned the chairman of the presidium of the Association of Retail Companies (AKORT) Sergei Belyakov. His statement was a response to the parliamentary initiative.. The bill on the ban on the return of the supplier of food products that are not sold after a certain period of time received the support of domestic unions of producers, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Federal Antimonopoly Service and the Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare.
