The Ministry of industry and trade called on the constituent entities of the Russian Federation to ensure the participation of companies in the experiment on milk labeling
Viktor Yevtukhov, State Secretary and Deputy Minister of industry and trade of the Russian Federation, chaired a conference call with Russian entities on marking. On July 1, the DataMatrix labeling of medicines, tobacco products, and footwear products became mandatory. Information about the movement of goods along the product chain must be transmitted to the SIS "Labeling".
Viktor Yevtukhov reminded that working groups were created in the regions to control the introduction of labeling, which are aimed at solving possible difficulties.
- Before July 1, an unprecedented information campaign was carried out, many people know about the labeling. Taking into account the fact that the introduction of labeling for other groups of products is on the way, other questions will arise. I would like to ask you to step up your work with the operator of the labeling system and the Executive authorities to conduct explanatory work. Our task is to answer each question in detail", he stressed.
Since October 1, 2020, the requirement for mandatory labeling of perfume products and photographic goods comes into force, since November 1 – tires, since January 1, 2021 – light industry goods.
- Currently, experiments are also being conducted on labeling dairy products and packaged water. I ask the regional authorities to get involved and ensure that companies participate in the experiment. It is important that business representatives participate in testing all labeling capabilities and equip their production sites with the necessary equipment. For those who enter the experiment from the very beginning, there are no problems later. There is a problem that everyone is postponing the implementation to the last day, they hope that the experiment will be postponed or canceled, but the government is approaching labeling systematically, no cancellations and postponements are planned, - said the Deputy head of the Ministry of industry and trade of Russia.
The previous conference call was held on June 29. A separate communication channel on labeling has been created for regional Executive authorities, and information about seminars and webinars has been provided.
