Account limits placed on debtors

The Ministry of Justice intends to deprive debtor legal entities from the ability of creating and reorganizing their companies, and also from opening bank accounts and deposits. The amendments are being proposed to encourage debtors to promptly comply with the requirements of judicial enforcement officers, they said at the agency. Implementation of these ideas of the Ministry of Justice will lead to the violation of rights of businesses, and will block the work of companies, said some of the lawyers interviewed by Kommersant. Others, however, do not see any conflict with the current legislation and are calling the proposed measures effective.

The Territorial Departments of the Federal Service for Supervision in the Sphere of Health sent to distributors and drugstore chains demands to provide samples of medicinal products, as well as documents confirming their quality. Some Territorial Departments attached a list containing 330 drug names. By all indications, it seems that this list was intended only for internal use by the Territorial Departments, and after getting to the outside world, has created quite a commotion. For example, some market participants suggested that the agency wanted to get all 330 named medicines from them. They were especially impressed with the demand to provide 876 packets of Levitra.
