Manturov instructed to work out the postponement of the new recycling

First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov instructed the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation to submit proposals for a possible postponement of the introduction of new rules for calculating car scrap. This was reported on October 14 by TASS with reference to a statement by the Manturov secretariat.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade was instructed to review the appeal of the all-Russian public organization Delovaya Rossiya, the statement said. The activists appealed to Manturov with a request to consider the possibility of postponing the entry into force of the new mechanism for the period necessary for the completion of customs procedures by buyers.

The draft government decree developed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade assumes the introduction of a new criterion for calculating the size of the scrap yard from November 1 of this year — engine power. The existing grace periods for individual importers who carry cars for personal use (3.4 thousand rubles for new models and 5.2 thousand rubles for cars older than three years) will remain. However, they will only apply to models no more powerful than 160 hp.

Domestic automakers such as AGR Holding and Avtotor supported the planned changes in recycling. Sergey Tselikov, CEO of Autostat, said that if the rules for calculating recycling are changed, cars of premium brands such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi will rise in price quite seriously in Russia.

Old age is not a joy: what will the new recycling rates lead to?

The share of older cars is growing in the Russian used car market

On October 10, it was reported that Yaroslav Nilov, chairman of the Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans' Affairs, sent a letter to Anton Alikhanov, head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, with a proposal to give Russians who have already purchased cars from abroad but do not have time to receive them before November 1 due to delays at the border.

According to the deputy, during long holidays in China, cars already purchased there are delayed in long queues at the border and may arrive in Russia after November 1. As a result, Russians who have bought such cars become hostages to long-term transportation and customs procedures, and they will have to pay for increased recycling.
