Draft law that would amend the Law on Consumer Protection and the Law on Sanitary and Epidemiological Welfare of the Population has been proposed by the Government of the Russian Federation. According to the proposed amendments the market surveillance authority (RosPotrebNadzor) will be allowed to make test purchases as a part of market surveillance activities with the purpose of checking compliance with the applicable sanitary and epidemiological requirements.
According to the authors of the proposal, this measure fully complies with the risk-oriented approach principles and will improve the efficiency of the surveillance and reduce the costs born by organisations and entrepreneurs.
