Russia. New draft order of the Ministry for Economic Development “On the Conditions for Admitting Goods of Foreign Origin For the Purpose of Placing Orders For Goods For the Needs of Customers” being discussed

The document has been elaborated to replace the previous Order No. 120 dated 12 March 2012 of the Ministry for Economic Development “On the Conditions for Admitting Goods of Foreign Origin For the Purpose of Placing Orders For Goods For the Needs of Customers”, which ceased to be in force on 31 December 2012 (see KPMG Pharma-Bulletin, Issue #22).

The new draft order has been prepared with account to proposals from the Ministry for Trade, the Ministry for Healthcare, and the Ministry for Sport of Russia with respect to goods manufactured in Russia which should be subject to preferences in 2013. In addition, the draft law stipulates the procedure for granting contract price preferences to participants of state tenders whose applications contain a proposal to supply Russian- and Belorussian-manufactured goods in the amount of 15%.
