Baku, Azerbaijan, Oct.27

By Maksim Tsurkov - Trend:

In Azerbaijan, the payment of the state fee for the issuance of certificates for food products will be made only in banks, post offices, with the help of plastic cards, electronic payment systems or the Internet, said the amendments to the law "On food products," which was presented to the Milli Majlis (Parliament) of Azerbaijan.

This change is intended to contribute to the prevention of corruption and other negative facts in the payment of state taxes, as well as expanding the use of modern payment (non-cash) systems.

In line with other changes in the law, the certificate of conformity for imported foods in Azerbaijan will be issued before the end of their shelf life.

Change in law is suggested for the timely removal of the turnover of food products that have expired, the strengthening of state control over the observance of the requirements and standards to ensure the quality and safety of food products, identification of products that may pose a threat to human life and health.
