The document approves a list of certain foreign-made medical goods covered by restrictions in the state and municipal purchases . Proposals for the supply of foreign-made medical goods, except those from Armenia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, shall be turned down if at least two proposals are received for the supply of medical goods from Russia, Armenia, Belarus or Kazakhstan. This will help expand domestic production of medical goods.
The document was drafted by the Ministry of Industry and Trade in execution of Government instructions and in line with a plan of priority measures to ensure sustainable economic development and social stability in 2015 (No 98-r of 27 January 2015).
The document was drafted in line with Federal Law No 44-FZ of 5 April 2013 On the System of Contracts to Purchase Goods, Works and Services for State and Municipal Needs.
Article 14.3 of the Federal Law stipulates that the Government is to limit the share of foreign-made goods in purchases in order to protect the basic elements of the constitutional system, ensure national defence and security, protect the domestic market, ensure national economic development, and support domestic producers.
This resolution approves a list of certain foreign-made medical goods whose share shall be restricted during purchases for state and municipal needs, hereinafter referred to as the List.
All proposals for the supply of foreign-made medical goods, except those from Armenia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, shall be turned down if at least two proposals are received for the supply of medical goods from Russia, Armenia, Belarus or Kazakhstan. At the same time, these proposals must not contain offers of one and the same type of medical goods from one producer.
While formulating the List, its authors have taken into account the fact that there are at least two competitive domestic producers for each type of medical goods. These producers make it possible to meet the current demand of the Russian healthcare system, and their production facilities also meet interstate standards GOST ISO 13485-2011 Medical Goods – Quality Management Systems – Systemic Requirements for Regulation Purposes.
The country of origin of medical goods included in the list shall be confirmed in line with the Agreement on the Rules for Determining the Products’ Country of Origin in the Commonwealth of Independent States of 20 November 2009.
