Planned to clarify the requirement about indicate in the application of information about the origin of goods

Russian Ministry of Economic Development offers a number of requirements to the information contained in the application to participate in the electronic auction, not to indicate the place of origin. Instead of such information the participant should be put in the application the name of the country of origin. The clarification provided in the draft amendments to the Federal Law of 05.04.2013 N 44-FL.

These changes will have to resolve the issue related to the ambiguous interpretation of the term "appellation of origin" used in the Federal Law of 05.04.2013 N 44-FL. As follows from Art. 1516 of the Civil Code, the appellation of origin may be granted legal protection. This name, in accordance with Art. 1517 of the Civil Code to be registered or protected by international treaty.

However, if the goods supplied do not have an appellation of origin, which provided legal protection, there is a question about what kind of information should be reflected in the application.

To date, the issue in question is clarified Russian Economic Development Ministry in a letter dated 07.07.2014 N D28i-1194. In accordance with this document, if the appellation of origin provided legal protection, the participant must indicate in the application the full or abbreviated name of the country of origin.

According to the project plan to consolidate in law the existing practice of filling in applications.
