Q:Foreign companies that supply goods to the Customs Union are faced with the problem of "localization", where the supplier is obliged to provide information about the products in the language of the destination country. If the Russian language issue has been resolved, the transfer of multiple descriptions of the Kazakh and Belarusian languages causes considerable difficulties and costs. Furthermore, placing information directly on the products in the three languages is often difficult. Often this work has to do local vendors which affects the final price of the goods. In the Technical Regulations of the EurAsEC on Safety of low voltage equipment "(draft of RB) in Article 4 paragraph 6 states that the marking is performed in Russian and if necessary the state languages of the EurAsEC member states. In the light of "additional measures to reduce technical barriers to trade" would be appropriate for the imported product to leave the text only in Russian. My question is: who will determine this need to label products in addition to Kazakh and Belarusian language?
A: The need to implement marking in the official languages will be determined by the designated national authorities of Member States of the Customs Union in accordance with the regulations governing the rules of providing information to consumers. In the Republic of Belarus in accordance with the Law of the Republic of Belarus "On Protection of Consumers' information for consumers should be provided in Belarusian or Russian language.
