Belarus reconsiders public procurement procedures – draft resolution
MINSK, Jul 22 - PrimePress. Belarus plans to revise some procedures for public procurement of goods, works and services, including terms for foreign commodities and suppliers. The draft government resolution (posted on the Legal Forum of Belarus), which amends Council of Ministers’ resolutions No.206 of March 17, 2016 and No.395 of June 15, 2019, is put up for public discussion from July 22 to August 1, 2020.
The draft expands the list of goods of foreign origin, which are to meet requirements for access to public procurement, and changes the list of documents that establish the origin of goods for products of domestic manufacture and foreign products subject to preferential treatment.
The updated list may include oils and fats, sugar, cocoa, chocolate, seasonings and spices, malt, yarn and fabrics, leather, clothing and footwear, pharmaceuticals, tires, fabricated metals, and communication equipment.
It is also proposed to exclude from the list of confirming documents the certificate of origin of goods (ST-1) in relation to Belarusian goods, and add the certificate of in-house production as a document that confirms the right to apply for preferential treatment with respect to goods originating from the Republic of Belarus.
