latforms: "Since platforms are suppliers and partners for each other, there must be fair competition. Only with the help of the state can we establish an honest dialogue in which all segments will work mutually beneficially for the benefit of clients," she added.

The press service of the Association of Digital Platforms (which includes such companies as Avito, Ozon, Wildberiies, Cooper, Yandex Taxi) told a ComNews correspondent that the association is in constant contact with both regulators and legislators to develop mutually acceptable solutions: "We believe it is important to avoid strict restrictions and excessive interference in business processes, and not to break the business model."

It is proposed to oblige sellers to provide data on goods and services, and platforms to verify their accuracy. In addition, they want to place responsibility for damage to the buyer on the platform itself. However, such requirements are difficult to apply, for example, to real estate or car transactions.

Artem Sokolov, President of the Association of Internet Trade Companies (AITC), shared the following opinion of the association on the draft law on the platform economy: "It is important that it does not contain requirements that are not inherent to the essence of an information intermediary. The draft law contains a number of serious requirements for working with state systems, so it is important to ensure the smooth operation of all these systems and a functional API when implementing the draft law."

The press service of Wildberries LLC reported that the latest version of the bill, which the Ministry of Economic Development familiarized the industry with, is more balanced in terms of the requirements imposed on digital platforms.

But, as the Wildberries press service notes, the bill still needs to be revised: in particular, in its current version, the bill still implies restrictions on platforms setting discounts on sellers' goods. "Such restrictions will not be timely in the context of the fight against rising inflation and demand for discounts among citizens. Therefore, restrictions on their establishment by platforms may negatively affect consumer demand and lead to higher prices and a decrease in the turnover of marketplace sellers," the Wildberries press service reported.

The current version of the bill provides for a fine of 500 thousand rubles for violating the requirements for platforms. The Wildberries press service noted that this fine may be disproportionate to its subject, and it is necessary to consider differentiating the amount of deductions depending on the degree of danger of the act.
