Do you trade on the Internet? Will you accept the card "World"
The bill № 346659-7 “ On Amendments to Article 16.1 of the Law of the Russian Federation“ On Protection of Consumer Rights ” ” was introduced to the State Duma for consideration.
The bill is very simple and consists essentially of one paragraph. The above-mentioned article of the law “On Protection of Consumer Rights” is proposed to be added with the following paragraph:
In the explanatory note, the authors of the bill explain that, at the moment, the obligation to accept World cards extends only to business entities whose revenues for the previous year exceeded 40 million rubles. Now they want to extend the responsibility of accepting cards to everyone else, including small entrepreneurs.

The explanatory note shows that the main purpose of the draft law is to force the acceptance of the World card, as it says, “a significant number of microenterprises, the cumulative share of which… varies in the range of 50–80%,” and consumers, because of the gaps in the legislation, “are deprived pay for goods using national payment instruments. "
“The adoption of the draft law will ensure an increase in fair competition,” say the deputies, “since the black online stores will clearly stand out on the basis of the inability to pay for goods (work, services) using national payment instruments within the national payment card system.”
The first cards of the Mir payment system were issued in December 2015. The reason for creating the system was the sanctions imposed on Russia in the spring of 2014, due to which, on March 21, 2014, the two largest payment card systems Visa and MasterCard blocked, without notice, operations with the cards of Russia Bank, a subsidiary of Sobinbank and SMP Bank ", And Russia was facing the threat of disconnection from the SWIFT system.
