On October 14, a round table was held on the topic: "On compliance with the requirements of current legislation in the field of trade." According to the first deputy head of the regional state administration, Volodymyr Panchyshyn, a steady trend toward an increase in retail turnover volumes has emerged in this sector. Its volume over 9 months of this year grew by 15.2 percent compared to last year. The region ranks 10th in Ukraine by this indicator. The share of private ownership has increased, the domestic market has expanded, and the assortment of goods in rural areas has improved. However, there are also negative factors in the work of business entities. The sale of counterfeit goods continues, there are instances of the use of trademarks of Volyn producers "Bonita," "Lutskyi spyrtohorilchanyi zavod," and the culture of service also leaves much to be desired.
