Russia questions need to increase recycling fee on cars
The Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade has not yet made a final decision on increasing the recycling fee for cars.
The agency continues to analyze the intensity of sales on the market.
They emphasize the need for a detailed study of the current dynamics of the market for motor vehicles and special equipment, Gazeta.Ru reports.
Based on the results, a final decision will be made regarding the need to index the recycling fee.
A draft resolution on increasing the recycling fee appeared in July, but was not adopted.
Public discussions of the initiative are scheduled for August 9. After that, the document will be reviewed by the Russian government.
According to auto experts, the increased recycling fee will not stop the dominance of foreign cars on the Russian market.
Transport to Russia comes mainly from China, but the prices for these cars will not increase much.
