OREANDA-NEWS The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) has proposed limiting margins on socially significant products to the largest retail chains that have not yet joined this initiative, the agency said.

The FAS of Russia, together with other authorities, is working to attract manufacturers and retail chains, as well as industry associations are calling for limiting prices and margins for the most sought—after items of socially important food products," the release says.
