OREANDA-NEWS  The system of preferences for domestic producers that has developed in Russia during the period of sanctions pressure will continue to operate if foreign companies return to the Russian market, First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov said through a press service.

"During the time that the sanctions packages were being formed one after another, the system of preferences in public procurement, as well as the system of support measures, have seriously evolved. Today, domestic manufacturers, as well as manufacturers from the EAEU, have absolute priority in the sectors most important for our technological sovereignty. For joint projects with foreigners, conditions have been created regarding localization, technology transfer, and project control by Russian participants. We will not deviate from these principles, and this is the reality that foreign companies will have to bear in mind," he said.

According to him, those companies that have an interest in returning will be allowed to enter the domestic Russian market.
