Belarusian companies should act more independently to rebuff unsubstantiated complaints about the quality of their products. Chairman of the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly of Belarus Mikhail Myasnikovich made the statement during the session of the upper chamber of the Belarusian parliament on 21 December, BelTA has learned.
According to Mikhail Myasnikovich, Belarusian companies should not surrender the opportunity to right the wrongs in such cases to someone else. “First of all, they should take care of themselves, should defend their truth, including in court,” the senator said.
Procedures to deal with complaints about the quality of products are in place in the Eurasian Economic Union. The documents do not allow immediately blocking deliveries from the companies, the quality of which products is doubted, noted Mikhail Myasnikovich. “The relevant agencies, which both sides trust, have to carry out another lab test. Export is suspended for the duration of check tests. If no faults are found, the companies are free to continue operating as usual,” reminded the head of the upper chamber of the Belarusian parliament.
During the joint session of both chambers of the Belarusian parliament earlier on 21 December Mikhail Myasnikovich encouraged Belarusian companies to more frequently resort to the assistance of courts when they face unsubstantiated complaints about the quality of their products.
During the session on 21 December the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly of Belarus went through 20 items on the agenda. In particular, the senators approved amendments to the law on administrative procedures as well as amendments to several laws relating to pensions and unarmed army service. The senators also voted through the bill on amending the law on preventing the neglect of and delinquencies among the underage. The senators also voted through amendments to several laws on declaring revenues and property.
Apart from that, the upper chamber of the Belarusian parliament ratified a number of international documents. Those included agreements between Belarus and the Eurasian Economic Union on terms of the EEU Court's stay in the country and on transporting service weapons and civilian weapons between the Eurasian Economic Union member states.
