Restrictions and measures of state support for business: the digest for 7–20 July 2025

DRAFTS

A unified register of enforcement documents will be created in Russia

A draft federal law

Public discussions are now taking place.

It has been provided that a Unified State Register of Enforcement Documents (in Russian, abbreviated as ‘EGRID’) will be created to serve as a resource for judgments and instruments of state authorities to be enforced.

The goal is to shift towards a register-based model of enforcement, when information regarding enforcement documents will be accumulated within a single electronic database.

It is planned that the register will be developed and maintained within the state information system relating to public and municipal payments in automated mode, which is an authorised body of the Federal Service of Court Bailiffs.

Enforcement documents will be drawn up in electronic form only and be signed with an enhanced qualified electronic signature.

Once an enforcement document has been recorded, the execution creditor will be able to submit it to be enforced via the EGRID. Further, the option remains to submit an enforcement application directly to the competent authority/organisation.

Access to the information stored in the register will be restricted (the Government will determine the scope and the procedure for accessing it).

Relevant amendments have been drafted for the Code of Administrative Offences concerning how enforcement documents will be submitted to the register ( draft federal law).

It is planned that the above laws will come into effect on 1 January 2028, with the transition period being until 1 January 2031.

LEGISLATION

The President has signed laws whereby:

• the corporate structure of tiered ownership companies has been allowed in Russia ( No. 201-FZ dated 7 July 2025);

• the sale of membership interests in an LLC has been simplified ( No. 186-FZ dated 7 July 2025, No. 185-FZ dated 7 July 2025);

• the rules have been changed for how compensation for violating IP rights is to be paid ( No. 214-FZ dated 7 July 2025).

Regulatory instruments in the field of labelling will be adopted under a special procedure

The Russian President’s Ruling No. 475 dated 15 July 2025

Came into effect on 15 July 2025.

A special procedure has been established for how to prepare, approve, adopt and bring into force regulatory instruments that establish, amend or cancel compulsory requirements for labelling goods (including medicines) and/or governing liability being imposed on persons for a breach of such requirements.

An exception is made for labelling being established with respect to goods for the first time.

Drafts of such regulatory instruments are not subject to, among other things, an assessment of their regulatory value. These acts are examined/dismissed by a State Commission for Counteracting the Illegal Circulation of Industrial Products or its sub-commission. Moreover, the state commission determines the timeframes for such acts to come into force.
