These buses, and belamon and minskcar are localized as much as possible today, this is very important moment, because all the main components are practically produced in the republic of belarus, with the exception of the battery, and then we start the battery with socalled cells, then we assemble the battery itself, squirrel monmas has developed its own product for managing this battery, a cooling system for this battery, and so on. Of the total volume of consumption in the country to meet the needs for Electrical Energy this year, this percentage will increase and we understand that, taking into account work at full capacity, the share Nuclear Power plant, it will increase, that is, one of the tasks taking into account the water of the belarusian Nuclear Power plant is to meet the increasing needs of creating conditions, that is, stimulating conditions for the use of Electrical Energy in various others. Related industries and especially electric transport. There are now 11,000 electric vehicles on belarusian roads, these are all imports, but our manufacturers are actively working on belarusian cars. By the way, belaes will more than cover the necessary energy consumption. Every year the station will generate 18 billion kilowatthours to cover more than 40 of the countrys domestic needs. The product is of the highest quality and will soon be distinguishable not only by the brand name on the packaging. In belarus, the procedure for assigning state status has been approved. How will it work . Products will be evaluated based on five indicators safety, environmental friendliness, innovation, manufacturability and aesthetics. The quality mark will be awarded annually to food and industrial products, as well as industrial and technical products produced by legal entities of belarus. Define, exactly which products apply for the title of highest quality are up to the manufacturer himself. Also carry out a comparative analysis of the quality indicators of your product with the best samples. Not have certain debts to the state, all Quality Management systems at this enterprise must work, from today we are ready to consider documents, regional executive committees are ready to accept applications drawn up in accordance with this assignment procedure, as soon as the first documents reach the secretariat of state standards, we are ready to consider them and submit them to the republican certification commission. The manufacturer can use the quality mark when marking documents in advertising for 2 years, he can also receive benefits and preferences. The Graduation Ceremony will take place on world quality day, this year on november 14th. Thank you, the review was prepared by olesya vysotskaya. More news from the economic sphere and not only on the website of our tv channel www. Belarus24. By. The belgospischeprom concern has developed and approved an increase program quality, what is included in the documents and how the belarusian Food Industry works in the year of quality, we will ask igor gruts, head of the department for coordinating the supply of goods to the domestic market of Foreign Trade activities of the biologospischeprom concern. Igor, hello. Hello. Tell us what are the main items included in the Quality Program for Food Processing industries . Well, first of all, i would like to. Since this program was not developed from scratch, that is, it is based on the current fiveyear program for 20212025, accordingly , we essentially took it as a basis and updated it regarding the main points in simple terms, this is a priority for qualitative indicators over quantitative ones, that is, this means increasing the efficiency of Management Systems at enterprises, implementation. Tion technologies, changes in production processes, careful attitude to Raw Materials and other resources, respectively, a focus on wastefree production, a number of other positions, a special block can be noted on those points that we we defend, lets say, on the platform of the eurasian economic commission, this is everything that concerns standardization, technical regulations, and other issues related to quality issues are already within the framework. Not only our country, but all members of the union. Also , a separate important block is information support, in the good sense of the word, propaganda of ideas and quality, that is, we set ourselves the following tasks to teach the consumer or somewhere to tell the consumer about the importance of quality, so that this criterion is still fundamental when choosing, for example, in the same store. The result of the implementation of this program will most likely be the emergence of new types of products. When we Start Talking about new products, probably our Confectionery Industry is always the flagship here, that is , the summer period is approaching, we traditionally release certain limited summer lines of some kind, but of course tropical flavors prevail there, for example some fruit ones, ours is developing a line of confectionery products with the addition of milk powder, which is also quite popular. Based on the results of last year , it has proven itself well, probably on the eve of the same summer period, current developments in our oil and fat industry, in particular , i think it will be interesting for the consumer to try rapeseed oil with the aroma of dill, rapeseed oil with the aroma of butter, it sounds a little so unusual, but how we think the consumer will be interested in this and at least want to try Something Like this, and limited edition mayonnaises will also be released specifically for. Its hard, i think, well, considering the fact that most of our enterprises have been operating in our market for decades, a number of enterprises have long since passed their centennial anniversary, and accordingly we understand what quality requirements are primarily from the consumer, and based on this, our legislation, lets say, enshrines, lets say, quite high criteria, indeed, on the one hand, of course, it is always quite tense to adhere to them, but at the same time this is our, lets say, advantage, that is, thanks to these standards, thanks to these criteria allow us to produce products of the highest possible quality, which means. Lets say, the consumer, the buyer of our products, and if this is met, then obtaining these certificates is already a certain formality, i can even say more, while communicating somewhere with our technologists, representatives of our enterprises, they sometimes jokingly declare that, in fact, these International Standards should be checked for compliance with our domestic belarusian ones, because high criteria indicators for it is still important not to lose our traditional markets, that is, we are developing new markets not at the expense of leaving old ones, that is, because sometimes in some cases even entering a new market is to some extent easier than gaining a foothold on it, so it is important for us not just to enter a certain market, but to show work on it for so many years, so that consumers in these markets still have a full impression of our products and they wait for our products, look for them somewhere in networks, and as for the asian vector, lets say supplies to china are growing . According to the results of the First Quarter of this year, they doubled, primarily thanks to our Confectionery Industry, chocolate products from kommunarka and spartak are very popular among chinese consumers, so this is also probably the result of the work that we have carried out in recent years, we have actively participated in various kinds of exhibitions, i. As for exhibitions, the concerns enterprises actively participate in them , what are your plans for this year . We try always make the most of this tool in terms of promoting our products, our next exhibition event will be in the city of baku, the republic of azerbaijan, accordingly we are preparing very seriously for it, again sometimes i come across the opinion that exhibition fair activities are more of that kind investments, contributions to pr, to advertising your products, this is certainly true, this is an important component of participation in such events, but at the same time i want to say that everything depends on preparation for exhibitions, that is, if you carry out some precontractual work in advance or agree on some changes with the existing counterparty, well, of course, in the direction of increasing supplies, so here. Participation in such exhibitions is a Good Opportunity to somehow formalize the relationship or extend, lets say, the current contractual relationship for the next period, so we are seriously preparing, well. This year we will certainly take part in numerous events in the Russian Federation, in china we are planning two, perhaps even to travel three times, that is, the next exhibition in the month of may in shanghai, so yes, we have a certain plan, lets say, how we set tasks for ourselves, where to participate, but at the same time, when the opportunity arises, some that invitation, some kind of delegation. Perhaps the government is visiting some countries, we also always try not to stand aside and take part and, accordingly , we always try to make good use of this opportunity. Thank you. Igor grutsa, head of the department, answered the programs questions coordination of supplies of goods to the domestic market of Foreign Trade activities of the belgospischeprom concern. This is the Event Program for belarus 24. We continue. Our country has confirmed its status as a space power. The first female cosmonaut of sovereign belarus returned to earth.

The flight of Marina Vasilevskaya is about friendship and allied cooperation, eight joint programs in the field of space have been implemented, we are creating a unique russianbelarusian earth Remote Sensing device. Scientific experiments. Which vasilevskaya and navitski carried out on the iss also made a huge contribution to the overall work. We will soon find out how effective the research will be. Perhaps in the future belarusian milk will appear in the diet of astronauts. A Design Center for innovative developments has opened in minsk. What projects will its specialists work on . The center will model and Design Equipment for mechanical engineering. The connection between science and production important for its longer and better operation. New powerful computers, settlement servers. Will allow you to solve complex mathematical problems, and thanks to aviar glasses, designers will be able to check the equipment before starting production. In addition, the center allows for training of enterprise personnel, because we can visualize this equipment in 3d in 3d visualization, there is Virtual Reality in which any specialist can be immersed and he can walk around the workshop with the existing equipment in 3d and can approach it , go around somewhere, maybe even collect it. Assemble or repair this equipment, that is, it enhances how, well , the potential accelerates the process of developing equipment, its creation, this institute is known to everyone that it has a very strong position precisely in connection with industry, that is, this equipment is for hardening, for cementing, for nitriding surfaces, without this the machine will not work, it will have one to one similarity, but it will not work, the material is not the same, so today they have supplied this equipment to a whole range of. Belaz, mtz, mas, and other Foreign Enterprises are actively working, searching, and occupying markets. All equipment designed by specialists is manufactured on the premises of the physicotechnical institute. The new center was created to strengthen the scientific and practical base of the National Academy of sciences of belarus. Belarusian doctors once again confirmed their high professional level. Our cardiac surgeons performed a complex implantation of the pulmonary valve artery. Tell us about the operation. This method unique not only for. Belarus in the cis countries it was used for the first time. Valve made in korea. We have been waiting for this new product for a long time and it has finally been introduced. The operation was carried out together with specialists from south korea and lasted about 3 hours. In a
