The President signed Federal Law Amending Federal Law On the Principles of State Trade Regulations in the Russian Federation.

The federal law sets forth specific provisions governing activities related to conducting research on commodity markets in the Russian Federation.

The amendments impose restrictions when engaging in commodity market research on foreign countries, international organisations, as well as organisations they control, foreign legal entities, Russian legal entities with over 20 percent of foreign capital, foreign nationals, stateless persons, and Russian citizens who are also citizens of another country.
