Moldovan government has approved a number of new solutions to promote e-commerce.
In particular, the Cabinet approved on Wednesday a series of amendments to certain regulations to adjust the legal framework related to e-commerce and remove restrictions hindering its development. The bill updates domestic trade legislation and adds e-commerce provisions to it. Also, according to the changes, consumers will receive increased protection in online commerce, and sellers will be required to have places to return goods. In addition, online alcohol sellers and delivery employees will be required to verify the age of the customer. At the same time, sales units engaged in online sales of precious metals will be exempt from the obligation to own an area of 12 square meters to conduct business, and merchants will be required to apply the same discounts regardless of the payment method (cash or non-cash) preferred by the customer, as well as inform customers about the payment instruments/means accepted. // 21.12.2022 – InfoMarket
