The State Duma of the Russian Federation approved in the second, main reading, a bill introducing fines for the sale of smartphones, computers and smart TVs without Russian software required to install.
It is noted that the law, if finally adopted, should come into force on July 1, 2021. Amendments to Article 14.8 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation have successfully passed the second reading, but there is still a third reading, approved by the Federation Council and the President of Russia.
For officials, the fine will be from 30 thousand to 50 thousand rubles, for legal entities – from 50 thousand to 200 thousand rubles. Rospotrebnadzor will consider cases of such violations.
The law on the mandatory pre-installation of domestic software on smartphones, computers and smart TVs sold in Russia was adopted at the end of 2019 and was supposed to enter into force on July 1, 2021, but in December 2020, the State Duma postponed the mandatory pre-installation of domestic software until April 1, 2021 … At the same time, it was decided that the software required for installation could be produced not only in Russia, but also in other EAEU countries – Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia or Kyrgyzstan.
The list of software required for installation has already been approved, it includes many products from Yandex, Mail.ru, including ICQ, VKontakte, and so on.
