Who will lose more – sellers, producers or buyers? What will the new law, which is being prepared in the depths of the State Duma and the Federation Council, bring – April 28, 2024. Posting in CHAT: Russia People have long switched to online business Source: Alexander Oshchepkov / NGS.RU What is good for the consumer is bad for business. And vice versa. This idea was again demonstrated by the heated discussion around the bill “On Trading Platforms”. Having first flared up in the State Duma, it has now spread to the Federation Council. Parliamentarians have long wanted to regulate markets (and all e-commerce in Russia). And it’s clear why. According to the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, since the pandemic year of 2020, the turnover of the country’s markets has increased fivefold. Internet business grew by leaps and bounds thanks to crises - first Covid, and then sanctions. At first, people, sitting at home during the lockdown, bought everything online. Nowadays, people buy products online that cannot be found in regular stores. The largest Russian markets, by the way, have been operating abroad for a long time. The bill is intended to facilitate the relationship between the market itself (trading platform), specific sellers (sellers), buyers and owners of pick-up points (etc.). However, business is dissatisfied with many provisions of the bill. The Association of Internet Business Companies (AKIT) and the Association of Representatives of Electronic Commerce of Siberia (APET) addressed the State Duma and the Federation Council with a joint request to seriously “weaken” the bill. Well, for example. so that there is no ban on paid returns of goods or restrictions on trade in food products. Paid returns are not a milking for customers, but a smart way to protect yourself from scammers, shoplifters and, ultimately, unfair competition. The buyer can simply order a large batch of goods to prevent a competitor from quickly selling their products. And a ban on the sale of food products is generally a blow to competition. The assortment will be sharply reduced, and consumer prices in Russia will generally rise, AKIT and APET threaten. And we readily believe in their predictions: more and more people are choosing online stores not only because of convenience and a large assortment, but also because of the low cost. However, many provisions of the bill suit both buyers and small businesses. For example, that markets are required to ensure the reliability of product information. In addition, markets are required to identify the owners and sellers of pick-up points. True, it is not entirely clear what to do if the seller is a person registered outside of Russia. How then can you make a claim against him? In general, it seems like there are still too many questions? And the bill will obviously be finalized. But the fact is: the state will not let go of its grip. That is why MSK1.RU asked experts what the main problems are faced by sellers (vendors) and buyers regarding Wildberry and Ozon. And in general, is a separate law needed to solve these problems? Is the consumer to blame? Polina Gusyatnikova, senior managing partner of the law firm PG Partners: – In my opinion, there is no separate law regulating the activities of markets? necessary All legislative bases are listed in the Civil Code, the laws “On the Protection of Consumer Rights” and “On the Protection of Competition”. This is more than enough. The main points that most often cause conflict situations are not related to the lack of a special legislative framework, but to the fact that some categories of citizens (especially older people) do not understand the principles of interaction between buyers. . and markets. They do not understand that they buy goods not from the platform, but from a specific seller, and the platform is only an intermediary here. Markets abuse their size Mentor for sellers on marketplaces Miroslav Radkevich: – The bill and in general, in principle. Market regulation is necessary and very important. Marketplaces are now becoming super-sized companies that have large numbers of users, traffic and are starting to abuse their position. The seller produced the product or brought it (imported it, for example, into the country), and put it on the market. . And the marketplace should be responsible for the movement of this product. Perhaps he understands that some changes may occur in the future. But they should not change unilaterally! And the site simply takes and increases all the coefficients or costs for storage, logistics, etc. Then the entrepreneur finds himself in a situation where he actually cannot refuse the conditions. Because there is no opportunity to terminate the contract and take your goods back - you will still have to pay for it. The market has banned the sale of white from its warehouses. Before this, everything worked fine, people earned money, had large incomes, large volumes of business. And then, it turns out, the conditions on the site change and this product must be purchased urgently. It costs a lot of money. Well, differentiate your responsibilities, marketing and sales expert Alla Staub: - I believe that the law on markets is a very important step for regulating electronic business and protecting the interests of consumers. However, without the support of the Cabinet of Ministers and taking into account some important points, the bill may turn out to be unbalanced and will only complicate the activities of markets. One of the key aspects of the bill is to ensure that markets are held accountable. for content sold on their platforms. This is an important condition that should protect the rights and interests of consumers and prevent the sale of counterfeits and counterfeits. However, the invoice does not provide for any direct liability between the website and the seller. And this can cause problems if conflicts and disagreements arise between the parties. Markets will now be responsible for the quality of goods. Chief partner of the Moscow Bar Association "YurCity", Candidate of Legal Sciences Vitaly Shakin: - Conflicts around markets. inevitable For example, very often the online platform blocks the personal account of the seller-entrepreneur or the page with his product. And it’s also good if they explain to him that this is connected with some kind of complaint. This is done without identifying the reasons and validity of the complaint itself, as a result the entrepreneur suffers losses and the business is inactive; But this may be the machinations of competitors promoting similar products on the market. Or cases of unilateral imposition of fines by online platforms have become more frequent. At the same time, it can be very difficult for a conscientious entrepreneur to prove the absence of violations and the unreasonableness of market actions. Through ordinary managers, going to court, it is difficult to achieve costs, sometimes exceeding the amount of the fine. Markets very often take advantage of their near-monopoly position over the entrepreneur-seller. Although at the same time, the actions of aggregators may be justified. In the bill, in fact, the only thing that is directly aimed at the consumer is that he will be able to make demands in connection with low-quality goods (replacement, reduction in purchase price, etc.) not only to the seller, but also to the aggregator. But this is also raises a big question. The bill makes aggregators responsible for the quality of goods. And to bear this responsibility, the aggregator must actually own the product and inspect it before selling it. Is this doable? How legal is it to assign the functions of a seller to an aggregator? Unanswered questions Yes, it’s time, so many controversial issues arise No, of course, new laws will only lead to higher prices and confusion Source link Source link
