Responsibility for non-compliance with procurement law

Deputies of the Committee on Economic Policy, Budget and Finance Viktor Guzun and Vadim Kravchuk developed a legislative initiative that amends the Code of Administrative Offenses and establishes liability for violations of legislation in the field of procurement against persons applying the procurement law.

Parliamentarians considered the law-in-draft in the second final reading at the plenary session.

Parliamentarians in the course of the plenary meeting considered the amendments that were submitted in preparation for the second reading. A warning is possible after the first violation of the procurement law, and then administrative liability and penalties.

The norm according to which each member of the procurement commission bears personal responsibility for the decision he makes is not new in world practice.

It is established at the legal level that administrative responsibility at present lies with persons who carry out the work of members of the commission for the purchase of goods, works, and services to meet state and municipal needs in Pridnestrovie. The deputy corps agreed with the opinion of the authors of the legislative initiative and the relevant Committee that the public procurement system cannot function properly without the possibility of being held accountable for violating the law.

The maximum fine for persons applying the procurement law for violation of legislation in the field of procurement of goods, works and services will be 75 minimum wages, which is 1380 rubles.
