Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov considers necessary to find a compromise on timely payment between the trade workers and manufacturers.
"I would like to ask the representatives of retail chains: why are you so slow to pay suppliers of dairy products, which are sold every day, hence the store has daily revenue for them? Why can’t you pay off immediately?" the head of government said at the meeting with representatives of public organizations and experts to discuss the draft law on domestic trade, ForUm correspondent reports.
He noted that there must be some reasonable period of time for payments.
"Let us provide the relevant rules in the law on internal trade, acceptable for representatives of trade and processors of products. Another important thing, we must remember that behind the processors there are also producers - farmers or dairy farms, who are also affected by delays and eventually lose out," Azarov said.
