The law is in the final stage, and all those interested actors, from large and small merchants to employers, which were gathered by a civil society, gathered for a single table on the Mount Igman, writes on the text Biznis.ba.
“It is a federal law because we do not have the same level. We adopted all European directives and we will install it in the text of this Law, in addition to the very welcome consumers, traders and citizens, have enabled access to European companies for the development of e-commerce, which has an increasing momentum in the company’s overall business. “Says Hasicevic .
He adds that they came to the work meeting to the draft text, which was now discussed. From the beginning, the Federal Ministry introduced the practice that all social partners participate in that, civil society organization, the organization of the Government of the Inspectorate, Tax Administration …
“The basic three goals we have asked ourselves to solve problems: the gray market – according to some analyzes we have worked with the competent control bodies, we came to some projections between some 200-300 million. It is difficult to reach some exact data because the market is unregulated; Consumer protection because the largest number of complaints and trade fraud is through e-platophres; To ensure the competitiveness of our companies, to clearly formulate ways and rights in e-commerce, “Hasicevic says.
He also pointed out the problem of platforms entering the market through social networks such as the topic and Shein.
“We are trying to find models and ways, given the complex legal regulations and complex order of the state. We will try to put such a type of trade under some control. The fact is that these large platforms take up most of the market, but not to pay any taxes, “Hasicevic states.
The projection is that the law in the second half or by the end of February passes the Government and to refer to the parliamentary procedure in the form of a draft. In this regard, we can expect adoption at the end of March or the beginning of April.
Jasmin Marić, sales manager and business development OLX, says that it is a whole new law, a law that regulates one topic that has been practically unregulated.
“As a actor, we present traders, an Association for the ECOMM internet trade, which has over 100 active members, businesses that deal with online trade. The law treats digital operations, not only in terms of goods but also services. Treats various aspects from the registration of participants in the purchase, consumer protection, transfer, logistics and community registration and the side of customers and sellers and the market should be improved and on the seller’s side when It is about this branch of trade, “he says and adds:
– We now have the opportunity to unlike a region that has these laws, which may not be outdated in the meantime, which will make a modern and current law that will enable improvement in practice in our market. What happens to Chinese goods bidders on our market is something West or Europe felt before a certain amount of time. They don’t have certain and defined items either. We can offer the customs rate of local traders who are registered and operate legally or some foreign sellers who are privileged through their business models, although co-financed from their own states take a huge part of cakes and in some way they create unfair competition from that part.
Igor Stojanović leading the EU Civil Society Project, that this is a technical assistance project that focuses on the support of the governments of all levels to improve cooperation with civil society organizations in the decision-making process.
“In that sense, the technical assistance and the Ministry of Trade is provided to work together with the organization of civil society to develop a new e-commerce society. The EU Civil Society Project tries to change the existing practice and make the participation of civil society and our decisions more efficient and visible. We try to create a framework in which civil society’s public institutions will effectively cooperate, whether in the development of new laws, implementing existing or other priorsroits concerning the adoption of this policy, “says Stojanović.
