Antimonopoly authorities will supervise violations of Law “On Advertising” in Russia

In Russia, antimonopoly authorities will work with violations of the Law “On Advertising”
The antimonopoly authority will be given the right to issue warnings to stop actions (inactions) that show signs of violation of advertising legislation.
It is proposed that the corresponding changes to the federal law “On Advertising” be adopted.
According to the bill, a warning is subject to mandatory review by the person to whom it was issued within the period specified in the warning. The notice period must be at least ten days. In case of failure to comply with the warning within the prescribed period, if there are signs of violation of the advertising legislation, the antimonopoly authority is obliged to make a decision to initiate a case on the grounds of violation of the advertising legislation.
The proposed amendments also establish a list of information that does not relate to advertising (for example, information about a product, its manufacturer or seller, posted on the information resource of the seller of such a product or the owner of an aggregator of information about similar products, which does not contain information of an advertising nature) and clarifies the requirements for advertising alcohol products.
Earlier, Bashinform reported that Russia has banned advertising on the resources of foreign agents.
