According to the measurement law, if the total monetary amount gained through measurement violations is larger than the standard fine, a more strenuous fine of one to five times higher could be imposed.

All revenue deriving from illegal measurement activities would be returned.

In serious cases, violators would have their measurement tools and products confiscated, as well as their names, addresses, and nature of the offence made public.

The law would take effect on July 1, 2012.

A majority of lawmakers yesterday voted to adopt a resolution on the supervisory role of the NA next year, which would focus on the Government's report of the socio-economic development plan and the State budgets for 2011 and 2012.

It would consider reports on successfully addressing public opinion, which will be submitted to NA sessions next year, and also monitor question-and-answer sessions by NA deputies.

The NA would also oversee the implementation of policies and laws regarding public investment in agriculture, farmers and rural areas. The body would also address claims relating to the handling of complaints and denunciations in the field of agriculture.

On the same day, the NA also adopted draft laws on complaints, denunciations and archives.
