Experiment with organizing trade in rural areas expanded to new districts

The President of Belarus signed a decree aimed at creating additional conditions for the development of trade in rural areas of eight districts. The document makes it possible to increase retail space only after concluding an agreement with the district executive committee on the organization of trade services to the population, as well as mandatory coordination with the local government of the routes of autoshops. In addition, the decree imposes personal responsibility on the heads of government bodies for unsatisfactory trade services to the population, and the heads of legal entities are responsible for the improper organization of retail trade.
