Kirill Lyakhmanov, Chief Legal Advisor for Intellectual Property Practice at EBR Law Firm, commented : " In its current version, the bill can be commented on with the words " it could have been worse . " The bill mostly duplicates the norms that are already mandatory for implementation in the Russian Federation, but places classifieds in a separate category of organizations. Obviously, the refusal to low-level regulate the activities of classifieds could partly be south korea cell phone number list caused by the recent " code of ethics for classifieds , " which was signed by many of the largest classifieds platforms. The bill is not formulated ideally: for example, the requirement to comply with the " business reputation of citizens and organizations " is difficult to effectively implement, since violations of rights related to business reputation can only be stopped within the framework of private law. The obligation of classifieds to comply with such a requirement will most likely lead to the formal inclusion of a clause of similar content in the rules of the platform. The punishment for violating the bill is the initiation of blocking the resource in the Russian Federation. On the one hand, the legal burden will clearly increase: for example, paragraph 3 of Article 2 of the draft law is interesting. It allows Roskomnadzor to request " information necessary for maintaining the register of information resources " , while the list of such information is open, and classifieds are required to provide it no later than 10 days from the date of the request. On the other hand, the legislator does not try, for example, to regulate the monetization of classifieds " .

of the ANO "Digital Economy", signed a charter of professional ethics for classifieds services. "There is no need for any additional regulation (of classifieds - ComNews note ), and the standards that are being discussed this year at the State Duma will be excessive," said Karen Kazaryan, Director of Analytics at the ANO "Digital Economy".

Sergey Plugotarenko, General Director of ANO Digital Economy, told ComNews: "As you know, last week we signed a charter of classifieds with leading market players. At that time, we declared the importance of the principles of self-regulation and the importance of its application. At the same time, all the amendments that the industry proposed to this bill were adopted. The bill turned out to be quite balanced, moreover, its actions have been postponed in time until all the necessary procedures and regulations are developed. We will continue close interaction with business, which will lead to an increase in the number of participants in the charter. And we will also continue further effective dialogue with the state, which obviously hears the industry and meets it halfway."

Among the companies that signed the charter are Ozon, CIAN, Yandex Verticals, HeadHunter, YouDo and Drom.
