Amendments to legislation have been submitted for consideration to the Government of the Russian Federation. 'An analysis of law enforcement practices has shown that business entities whose violations at facilities caused illnesses (poisonings) did not report the commencement of their entrepreneurial activities,' the agency's press service told TASS. Earlier, the newspaper 'Izvestia,' citing sources in Rospotrebnadzor, reported that such amendments are particularly relevant due to the largest outbreak of botulism in Russia in 25 years. A total of 417 people in 11 regions of the country were affected by botulism. Two of them, in the Kostroma and Nizhny Novgorod regions, died. According to the newspaper, fines for failure to notify about the start of entrepreneurial activity could increase by almost two times. For officials, it could rise to 7–12 thousand rubles, while for organizations it could reach 24–48 thousand rubles. According to the authors of the draft law, the current fine amounts do not encourage entrepreneurs to conduct business responsibly.
