VLADIMIR MISHELOVIN: IT IS NECESSARY TO CREATE NEW TRADITIONS TO TRANSFER CONSUMERS TO THE GOODS LESS HAZARDOUS FOR THE HEALTH OF THE POPULATION

Head of FAS Fiscal Control Department Vladimir Mishelovin took part in the expert session on “Small business and excise goods”

The event took place on 18 October 2018 at the IV Small Business Forum of SCO and BRICS in Ufa.

The Forum brought together a wide range of leaders of Russian regions, business communities, Russian and foreign experts. Vladimir Mishelovin discussed development of competitive environment under strict government regulation of excise goods.

He emphasized during the discussion: “Strengthening market regulation and increasing fiscal burden on business always has another side of the medal. У This is a risk of illegal fabrication, the scope of poor-quality goods in the market, which means foxy statistics on reduced production and consumption. In fact, everything is different: a dangerous experiment with consumer health, budgetary losses, distorted consumer culture, deterred innovations. It is necessary to create new tradition to transfer consumers to the goods less hazardous for the health of the population”.
