MINSK, Oct 31 (BelTA) – Prices should be set in accordance with rules set by the state, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said after receiving a report from Prime Minister Roman Golovchenko, BelTA learned.
“Not the prices. I invited Mr. Snopkov [First Deputy Prime Minister Nikolai Snopkov was present] to remind him that my request related to regulation and pricing is not just an instruction or an impulsive desire. I communicate about it every day. And I’d love to hear updates on that. They probably didn’t come up with every single detail of the government’s resolution, as is often the case. But if we have missed something, we will have to correct it,” the Belarusian leader said.
Aleksandr Lukashenko responded to some discussions that “the so-called affair has gone wrong” in Belarus lately. “When I ask what kind of business, they say it’s the individual traders who have caused us problems. Above the interests of the whole country is too much. If they bring goods here, sell them, they do well,” the head of state said.
In that regard, the President recalled that in the past he had given instructions, adding Nikolai Snopkov, to expand a strategy to regulate this type of company. “We have tried several times to deal with those so-called independent contractors who import goods without invoice. And at that time, we agreed to help individual marketers who have interaction in this industry and organize wholesale imports of products into Belarus. “So they don’t have to walk through the alleys of Russia, Turkey or China where they don’t even get invoices for what they buy and where the costs of those goods are not transparent and the certificate is not in order,” Alexander Lukashenko said.
He advised that the First Deputy Prime Minister should take charge of the execution of these instructions. “And God forbid, they are not full! Therefore, do not repel anyone, do not harm him either. It is mandatory to create an environment conducive to them to paint transparently. And it’s time for them to paint transparently and not interfere with the cleaning industry. In fact, they bring this reasonable schmatte and sell it to our people, while the household cleaning industry is steadily declining. Lugina [Tatiana Lugina, director of Belarusian Gentile Industry Bellegprom] recently spoke about it,” the head of state said.
“So, we’re not going to mistreat anyone, but their operations will have to be transparent. And the costs will have to be under control and in accordance with the government’s resolution. factor after November 7. Be prepared to report on what has been done, market developments, etc. said the Belarusian leader.
Aleksander Lukashenko addressed those who do not have to respect the rules and make unreasonable statements to the government: “I would like to stress that those who today make unclear and unfair demands to the government and do not have to paint according to the regulations we have established, will be held accountable. If you have a retail business, you can’t just quit. If you do, you will suffer certain consequences. I warned him. Resign, we are not forcing anyoneto stay, but the consequences will be very serious.
“The chairman of the State Control Committee [Chairman of the State Control Committee, Vasily Gerasimov, was also among the participants in the meeting] will later tell us how many apartments those vendors engaged in small retail businesses own, whether in Minsk or in the district capitals. We will take a close look at all your assets if they refuse to paint according to regulations. We don’t need them for lossy painting. This cannot be allowed. We will not fix prices, however, according to the standards we take in our minds through the state. That is fundamental,” the head of state said.
