What goods fall under the fss mercury. Benefits of using for you. Cerberus Automated System

Talked about upcoming changes registration of veterinary documentsfor food companies. Starting from 2016, it is planned to switch to electronic veterinary certificates. Changes in the legislation provide for the introduction of batch accounting for the movement of goods and materials within Russia. In this regard, in accounting for the movement of goods in 1C, it is necessary to additionally track a new dimension - the Veterinary Accompanying Document (VSD).

W describes typical operations in Mercury for manufacturing enterprises.

Purpose of the Mercury system: to ensure end-to-end accounting of the movement of goods in the context of batches (in terms of Mercury in the context of VSD and Production Dates) between all entities in Russia and the United Customs Union(ETS).

Systems are used to process all necessary transactions for enterprises Argus, Mercury And Vesta. When conducting inspections and monitoring the work of enterprises, systems are used Cerberus And Cyrano. The system is indirectly involved Icarus(directory of companies).

All systems are built on process approach- information entered once in one system is then used in another system. Duplication of information input is excluded.

Now we will consider only the work of the Mercury system, which is divided into several parts. Veterinarians work with the Mercury.HVE system. Enterprises operate in the Mercury.XC system. If the enterprise will independently draw up Veterinary Accompanying Documents (VSD), then RosSelkhozNadzor will provide access to the Mercury.GVE system to the employees of the enterprise.

difference Mercury.GVE (State Veterinary Expertise) fromMercury.HS (Business Entity):

    in Mercury.GVE it is possible to cancel (receive) veterinary certificates and Incoming VSD

  • sending information about Outgoing VSD to Mercury.

Mercury.XC is needed only for viewing data, active operations with Incoming and Outgoing VSD (except for internal operations) are not possible.

Employees of the enterprise and certified specialists can work in the Mercury.GVE system in trading companies, who can either be hired or turn to the services of a third-party company.

It should also be emphasized that the Mercury system ensures the maintenance of residuals in the context of measurements:

  1. Goods (corresponds to the entry from the classifier of TNVED codes),
  2. Date of manufacture (represented as a specific date; interval; period description string)
  3. VVD (link to veterinary document)

Mercury Accounting Principles:

  1. Only some of the measurements cannot be entered
  2. Minus shipping is not allowed

Training at the Center for Advanced Studies on the basis of GBU MosVet Association

The federal state information system "Mercury" was developed by Rosselkhoznadzor, is part of the Federal State Information System Vetis and is intended for:

  • registration of electronic veterinary certificates,
  • tracking the movement of controlled goods,
  • exclusion of their falsification and smuggling.

In accordance with Law N 243-FZ “On Amendments to the Law of the Russian Federation “On Veterinary Medicine”, from July 1, 2018, all goods controlled by Rosselkhoznadzor are subject to mandatory electronic certification in the FSIS “Mercury”, which tracks them throughout the entire cycle: from raw materials to the finished product on the store shelf.

Certification is required for: meat processing plants, poultry farms, seafood producers, dairies, distributors and retail chains.

FSIS "Mercury" allows:

  • reduce the time for registration of veterinary accompanying documentation,
  • accumulate information about the samples taken for the study of imported products,
  • track the movement of a consignment across the territory of the Russian Federation, taking into account its fragmentation,
  • reduce the cost of issuing VSD by replacing secure paper forms with electronic ones,
  • eliminate the human factor due to the presence of ready-made forms for entering information, as well as checking the data entered by the user.
  • create single base data for quick search and analysis of information.

The system is intended for employees:

  • business entities (HS);
  • veterinary departments of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation (VU);
  • Animal Disease Control Stations (ABBZh);
  • central office of Rosselkhoznadzor (CA);
  • territorial departments of Rosselkhoznadzor (TU);
  • temporary storage warehouses (TSW),
  • customs control zones (CCZ).

The FSIS "Mercury" includes the following subsystems:

  • Subsystem of the Temporary Storage Warehouse (Mercury.SVH)
  • Subsystem of the State veterinary expertise(Mercury.GVE)
  • Subsystem of the Economic Entity (Mercury.XS)
  • Subsystem of Territorial Administration (Mercury.TU)
  • Notification Subsystem (Mercury.Notifications)
  • Authentication subsystem for issued VSD
  • Universal Gateway (Vetis.API)
  • Subsystem of advance notifications from foreign countries(Mercury.Notice)

Working with GIS "Mercury": manual input or integration

The GIS "Mercury" Rosselkhoznadzor (FGIS Vetis) has the ability to create applications for the issuance of veterinary certificates, but the company has to create applications by manually entering all the necessary data. At in large numbers certificates issued per day, this way of working requires significant labor costs, and therefore additional costs.

In this regard, the integration of the enterprise accounting system with the GIS "Mercury" becomes an urgent issue in order to automate the process of creating electronic veterinary certificates. As a result of integration, they will be created automatically on the basis of primary data from the company's accounting system, which will immediately bring tangible savings.

Solution from CJSC "ASP"

October 13, 2016 between the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Supervision (Rosselkhoznadzor) and CJSC "ASP" signed a cooperation agreement.

On the official website of the State Veterinary Information System VETIS, the ASP company is listed under the heading IT-partners.

CJSC "ASP" offers the integration of existing automated accounting systems of the enterprise with the GIS "Mercury" Rosselkhoznadzor. The introduction of the ASP.Mercury software package will significantly reduce the company's costs. All work is done on a turnkey basis.

Automatic issuance of veterinary certificates from 1C and other accounting systems from 30,000 rubles!

Video presentation of the product "ASP.Mercury"

On our YouTube channel you can see video reviews of the ASP.Gateway and ASP.Mercury products, as well as study video tutorials on working in the Mercury GIS program.

CJSC "ASP" has a number of successfully implemented projects for the integration of accounting systems of enterprises with the GIS "Mercury" in various fields production: meat processing plants, dairy plants, poultry farms, seafood producers, distributors, retail chains.

Implementation of "ASP.Mercury" will allow:

  • automatically generate VSD in the GIS "Mercury";
  • accelerate the receipt of electronic certificates,
  • exclude manual entry into the GIS "Mercury",
  • minimize the risk of errors in filling in the data,
  • reduce business costs
  • reduce the cost of VVD forms.

As a result, you will have the opportunity to independently or with the help of certified veterinarians automatically draw up VSD for the entire range of transported products, which means completely getting rid of the maintenance of the state veterinary service and the significant financial costs associated with them. At the same time, the company does not need to hire additional specialists for self-registration of the VSD.

The main advantages of the solution from the ASP company:

  • All work is done on a turnkey basis.
  • Compliance with the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of veterinary supervision.
  • Integration with all existing automated accounting systems.
  • Open source.
  • Possibility of flexible adjustment of integration, taking into account the peculiarities of the existing accounting system.
  • Savings on VVD forms.
  • Reduction of time for registration of veterinary accompanying documentation due to automation of this process.
  • Comprehensive annual support.
  • The development of the software package was carried out in cooperation with the developers of the GIS "Mercury" and specialists from Rosselkhoznadzor.

The ASP company offers two integration options: ASP.Gluz (integration of any enterprise accounting system through the gateway, including 1C platform versions 7.7; 8.0; 8.1; 8.2; 8.3) from 30,000 rubles and ASP.Mercury ( direct integration of "1C" version of the platform 8.0; 8.1; 8.2; 8.3 on managed and unmanaged forms) from 60,000 rubles. Each option is relevant depending on the size of the enterprise and the version of the accounting system.

The ASP company also offers comprehensive annual support. It includes the maintenance of this integration, since the accounting systems of the enterprise and the GIS "Mercury" of the Rosselkhoznadzor are periodically updated, and accordingly the exchange format or requirements may change, consulting on the integration module with the GIS "Mercury", incident support, making changes and updates to processing.

Unlike other developers, ASP CJSC has already successfully implemented projects for integrating enterprise accounting systems with GIS Mercury in various production areas: meat processing plants, dairies, poultry farms, seafood producers, distributors, retail chains.

Mercury is a federal state Information system(FSIS) accounting for electronic veterinary certificates. Starting July 1, 2018, everyone who sells products of animal origin must connect and keep records in this system. This includes the retail trade.

What is the FGIS Mercury system for?

Electronic veterinary certificates should replace paper invoices and certificates certified by veterinarians. These documents allow the entrepreneur to trade in animal products on legal grounds and, if verified, provide them.

Maintaining paper documentation was fraught with some difficulties - for example, when moving products from a warehouse to a retail outlet, it was necessary to re-documentation, inviting a veterinarian. Not all sold products was certified.

Electronic document management simplifies the process of obtaining certificates and the sale of products at each stage is accessible and easily tracked: products are accounted for automatically, you can quickly track the path of movement of a consignment using a single centralized database where all necessary information. Thus, it is planned to stop the illegal sale of counterfeit products.

How will it work?

Accounting for products of animal origin should be kept from the moment it arrives from the manufacturer's warehouse: the movement of the product is monitored along the entire chain, from raw materials to the manufacture of finished products, and its receipt on the shelves.

For example, a batch of milk is sent from a farm to a dairy. The farm at the stage of milk supply must issue veterinary accompanying documents(VSD). The receipt of milk at the warehouse of the plant is also documented - a mark is put in the FSIS "Mercury" that the products were received under such and such a veterinary number. This process is called redemption. Further, the milk is processed and the plant produces different kinds dairy products: milk in packages, cheese, kefir, cottage cheese, fermented baked milk. Further distribution in outlets accompanied by a VSD for each heading. When the products arrive at the store, the corresponding IRR must be paid off in the Mercury program.

From the moment the products arrive at the store, no more than one day should pass before the data must be entered into the Mercury system, thereby confirming the received batch of goods. In case of partial acceptance of the goods, it is necessary to indicate the existing discrepancies when canceling - in this case, a refundable IRR will be automatically generated.

In the event that the goods delivered to you do not have permits in unified system accounting for Mercury, then it is categorically not recommended to accept the goods.

Who needs to register with FSIS Mercury?

At the state level, amendments were made to 243-FZ "On Veterinary Medicine", according to which, from July 1, 2018, veterinary certificates that give the right to sell products of animal origin must be maintained in in electronic format through F GIS Mercury. This applies to all enterprises under the supervision of the State Veterinary Control:

Producers and distributors of animal products;

Trade networks, retail, wholesale stores and logistics centers;

Dairy production plants;

Meat processing plants, poultry farms, seafood producers;

Farms, breeding farms;

Enterprises Catering that sell this type of product;

- veterinarians.

Types of products subject to certification in the system

All products without exception, which are under the department of Gosvetkontrol, are subject to mandatory certification:

    all types of meat, offal and fats;

    sausages, prepared and canned meat products;

    fish in any form, including canned;

    pasta stuffed with meat, sausage, fish or seafood;

    crustaceans, mollusks, aquatic invertebrates; all types of dairy products;

    butter and other fats and oils made from milk, milk spreads;

    cottage cheese and cheeses, including processed ones;

    bird eggs;

    natural honey;

    yeast is inactive;

    ready-made soups and broths and preparations for their preparation;

    feed grain: durum and soft wheat, rye, barley, oats, corn; compound feed;

    fertilizers of plant and animal origin.

The entire list of products is presented in Order No. 648 of the Ministry of Agriculture.

How and what is needed to connect to the FGIS "Mercury"?

The system has a public free web interface. Internet access is required to work with the system. Details of working with the web interface are set out in the official source:http://www.vetrf.ru/vetrf/presentations/ .

To register in the system, you will need to fill out an application to Mercury Rosselkhoznadzor (or its territorial office) on paper or send it by e-mail. When applying electronically:

Individual entrepreneurs must certify it with a simple electronic signature and send it to the address [email protected] ;

For legal entities the application is supported by an enhanced qualified electronic signature (QES) of the head and sent to the address [email protected].

If you work in an area where there is no Internet access?

In this case, you can continue to work with paper VSD. When doing this, make sure that you are on the approved official list of areas remote from the networks.

Terms of connection to the system Mercury for retail?

The deadline is July 1, 2018. Considering that the registration process may take some time, we recommend that you deal with this issue in advance.

Fines will be levied for non-compliance with the rules adopted by law for keeping records of animal products. In the absence of VSD for individual entrepreneur or an official will be fined in the amount of 3,000 rubles, for legal entities - from 10,000 to 20,000 rubles, in some cases - it is possible to suspend the organization's activities for up to 90 days.

Summing up

Workflow automation should ultimately make life easier for businessmen. The processing, storage and accounting of tons of paper will be replaced by an automated, convenient process of interaction with suppliers and buyers. The latter will also benefit from the introduction of FSIS Mercury, since one of the main goals of introducing the system is to make the market transparent and eliminate fakes and surrogates.

The LiteBox software (Lightbox) already now supports all the necessary functionality for working with FGIS Mercury.



Sections of the article

With this article, we begin to introduce our readers to the problems of automated systems developed and promoted by the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Supervision (Rosselkhoznadzor).

On the this moment Rosselkhoznadzor is developing a whole complex computer programs needed to qualitatively improve the current situation in the Russian Federation and ensure modern level biological food safety. Moreover, the introduction of such new solutions will improve and optimize the methods that Rosselkhoznadzor and the State Veterinary Service currently use in their work.

Currently most of programs about which in question completed and successfully tested. Moreover, 13 of them are in working condition and are actively used in practice. According to Nikolai Vlasov, Deputy Head of Rosselkhoznadzor, such a large set of software products is necessary to create a convenient digital environment that ensures biological food safety and comfortable work of the veterinary service throughout the country.

Product traceability system

Several decades ago, two large organizations - the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the International Epizootic Bureau, joined forces to form a simple, understandable and convenient principle for controlling the entire production chain. It traces products from the field where a particular product is grown to the very counter of the store where it is sold. This system takes into account absolutely all the nuances, from the selection of fertilizers for specific plants or animal feed, to quality control of milk or meat on store shelves.

This mechanism is called product traceability. In other words, it allows you to accurately track the entire chain of growing plants or animals, their nutrition, their growth conditions, as well as all subsequent stages necessary for the production of a finished product of plant or animal origin. This means that even taking an ordinary piece of meat in a store, you can quickly and accurately determine which animal it belonged to, under what conditions it was kept, how it was processed and stored.

Of course, for the competent implementation of such a mechanism at each stage of production, it is necessary to have convenient mechanisms for determining the location of the product, tracking all routes of its transportation, processing methods, and so on. At the same time, it should be possible to learn absolutely everything about the product at any stage of its movement from the field to the counter. Obviously, the practical implementation of such a system is not an easy task, but, nevertheless, absolutely all civilized countries preferred it, and there are many reasons for this. Here are just a few of them:

  • Reliable protection against counterfeit and low-quality products of unknown origin getting on store shelves.
  • Convenient control over the level of food in the country, allowing timely regulation of the agricultural sector.
  • Effective fight against corruption among supervisory authorities.
  • Ability to deal with fraud in the field.
  • Minimization of bureaucracy and provision of a convenient transparent mechanism for the comfortable operation of private business.

Obviously, an analogue of this system should be present in every country, including Russia. Moreover, modern solutions and capabilities already make it possible to implement it. However, the producers themselves across the country are divided into two completely opposite camps. Some are entirely in favor of such changes and the introduction of such a promising and easy-to-use mechanism, while others are categorically against it. However, it is obvious that it is the entrepreneurs who are not honest and do not produce high-quality products that are resisting, because then strict and unbiased control will put an end to their business, or at least require serious changes in the usual and well-established working mechanism. .

Nevertheless, the control system itself will improve the health of people, expand the range of products, improve their quality and increase the well-being of entrepreneurs who honestly and responsibly deal with this difficult business. That is why Rosselkhoznadzor is the only organization in the country that invests huge efforts and funds in the implementation of a complete and high-quality world-class traceability system.

Their goal is to create such conditions under which it will be possible to freely take any product of animal origin at any stage of its circulation and without problems to obtain any information about it, from the source of raw materials, for production, ending with points retail where it is implemented. Moreover, if, for example, there was a problem on the farm and the cows were poisoned by low-quality feed, then using this system, you can quickly track all the stores that went to the milk in order to withdraw it from sale and protect people's health.

Veterinary certificate as the main element of traceability

It is veterinary certificates that are the basis on which traceability systems are based all over the world. In fact, this document has much in common with the usual passport of any person, because without it we cannot do practically anything in society - neither find a job, nor go somewhere. It is to control the transportation of products that veterinary certificates are needed, because without them, goods cannot be sent outside the country or even to another region.

If we talk about Russia, then the classic service of veterinary control and certification is archaic, paid and completely unobjective. It is destroyed by corruption, the need to comply with a mass of unnecessary bureaucratic formalities and a strong dependence on resources. As a result, such a system is inconvenient both for producers of goods and for the state itself, but worst of all, it carries potential danger for the end user of the products.

Several million paper certificates are issued every year in the country. This is a huge waste of resources and time, but it does not guarantee any product quality at all. With the help of these documents, it is purely physically impossible to track the entire path of the goods from the field to the counter.

Suppose a consignment of smuggled meat is brought into the country. There is no information about it, but there is a high probability that it was produced in violation of the norms, since otherwise it would have simply been imported with official permission without the slightest problem. Further, on the territory of the country, with the help of a corrupt veterinarian, this meat is officially registered, then it is sent to other regions, where the batch is divided, and each part of it receives new certificates. This is how the legalization of such counterfeit products takes place.

Existing reporting forms, despite their high cost and protection, can be easily forged with some effort. For example, you can freely delete information printed laser printer and then reuse this form for your own purposes.

In fact, at the moment, no additional efforts are needed to distribute illegal products. To do this, you don’t even need to look for any loopholes in the legislation, since now far from all products need to be issued a veterinary certificate. For example, milk is subject to certification, but butter created from the same milk is no longer there. A very large percentage of finished products are not tested, and additional additives are quite officially mixed into them. Oil production very often uses unhealthy palm oil, which has a low cost, and allows you to get a huge amount of finished low-quality goods from a small amount of raw materials.

Automated system "Mercury" from Rosselkhoznadzor as a solution to the problem

Most countries have long been engaged in full automation of not only production, but also its accounting. Manual labor cannot bring such results, because with this approach the possibility of unintentional errors or deception is completely excluded. Moreover, process automation speeds up the work process and makes the mechanism simple and transparent for all its participants.

In the field veterinary certification such innovations are simply necessary, employees say Federal Service on veterinary and phyto-sanitary control. Moreover, they are already implementing such changes in practice and, with the support of Rosselkhoznadzor, they have assembled a team of experienced programmers who have created a unique and unparalleled system called Mercury. It will completely abandon the use of paper certificates and implement a convenient and modern system product traceability throughout the country.

The program began to be developed by Rosselkhoznadzor in 2009, and was originally designed for electronic certification of various cargoes, and further fixing their location on the territory of Russia and abroad.

In fact, an electronic database will be created with the help of this program. Only authorized users will be able to enter it, moreover, all of them will provide detailed information about themselves, and their actions will be saved and any changes made by each of them can be tracked in real time. At the same time, paper certificates will completely go down in history and give way to their more progressive digital counterparts.

It should be noted that the Mercury system successfully works with other programs developed by Rosselkhoznadzor specialists, such as Vesta or Argus. All this makes it possible to form a single information space in the field of food safety and veterinary medicine of the country. It provides a lot of advantages, among which it is worth paying attention to:

  • Possibility to trace all products throughout their production path.
  • It will form fair competition, in which everyone will be in the same conditions.
  • Help protect consumers from substandard goods.
  • Root out corruption and eliminate the costs associated with it.
  • It will allow easy control of the entire process by control and supervisory authorities.
  • It will help save all participants in the chain, because now the cost of paperwork and other points will decrease.

If we talk separately about the Mercury program itself, then it sets itself a number of goals, which should include:

  • Save time getting to getting everyone official permits for transporting food.
  • Full automation of all processes and documentation.
  • Automatic accounting of all products, both received and departed from a particular enterprise.
  • Creation of convenient mechanisms for accurate tracking the location of the cargo on the territory of Russia, even after dividing it into small lots.
  • Reducing the cost of issuing veterinary certificates due to the reduction in the number of people involved in the process and the complete elimination of expensive physical forms.
  • Elimination of the human factor and related errors.
  • Formation of a transparent database that makes it easy to analyze this or that information.

Who works in the Mercury system and how?

There are several modules in the system for separate work of state, veterinary inspectors of Rosselkhoznadzor, and regional veterinary departments of the country. It is they who supervise all food shipments that enter the territory of Russia and move within its borders.

In order to understand how the whole system functions, it is worth imagining the following situation. Suppose that 200 kilograms of fish from Bulgaria arrived in Moscow by air delivery. This cargo is addressed to the Vector company located in the Vladimir region. The permit for the import of the product itself was issued at Domodedovo Airport, at the local border checkpoint. This was done using the Argus system, which is part of the general network of Rosselkhoznadzor software products.

The next stage for the cargo is its entry into a special temporary storage warehouse, where Rosselkhoznadzor inspectors inspect it and reissue all documents. At the same time, information about current position Pisces is reflected in the Mercury program. There, the inspector enters the name of the cargo, its weight and volume, production date, expiration date, and also describes such moments as the next destination of the cargo, and provides permission for its free sale.

The most interesting thing is that the next stage of verification is automatic, and the Mercury program performs it on its own. After full coordination of all points and confirmation of the accuracy of the entered information, the cargo is sent to the sanitary and veterinary control, where specialists decide on its quality and suitability for use and sale.

In the event that the inspector is suspicious of the cargo, he can take his sample and send it to the laboratory for analysis. An act for these actions is issued in another program of the Rosselkhoznadzor, called "Vesta". Since all software products are connected, the experts' answer will come and be displayed not only in the Vesta system, but also in Mercury.

If there are no questions to the cargo, then an act of sanitary and veterinary inspection is drawn up on the spot. The Mercury system checks all the information and makes a decision to let the cargo pass. Further, the inspector agrees with him and draws up a new veterinary passport. Here, Rosselkhoznadzor specialists complete their part of the work, and transfer the initiative to the employees of the state veterinary service. For them, the system has its own module, called "State Veterinary Expertise".

They inspect imported products after they arrive at a particular enterprise. Inside the system, they receive all current information about it, verify and confirm it. Then they transfer the information to another special log, in which all subsequent actions with the cargo will be recorded. At the same time, tracking will work even if a large batch needs to be divided into smaller ones in order to be sent to points of sale. In this case, the veterinary specialist will need to process transactions.

These transactions involve any actions with the cargo, whether it be transportation, processing or sale. All information is entered in a special form up to the type and number of transport on which transportation will be carried out and to the addresses of specific stores where the goods will be sold. Additionally, the volume of goods is indicated, so that later it would be possible to identify forgery or fraud. As a result of all these actions, a special veterinary accompanying document is formed, which can be printed on any ordinary office paper, because all its protection is based on the presence of a special bar code and an additional identifier, with which you can get all the information about a particular product in the system.

Mercury Automated System in Food Production

According to a similar, but somewhat more simplified principle, documents for domestic products are drawn up in the system. As a result, the program contains information about all stages of production, from the place where animals are grown, their number, feed used for them, to slaughter sites, warehouses where meat is stored, enterprises where it is processed and stores where it is sold. .

What is important, each stage creates its own certificate, which allows you to create a direct chain of electronic documents that can be used to trace the product to any stage of its production. Because of this, it will simply be impossible to enter counterfeit products into the system, and therefore sell them, making a profit from it.

At the moment, there are situations in which, some dairy plant received a ton of milk and produced three tons of butter. This is due to the fact that milk is subject to certification, but products from it are not. At the same time, it is simply impossible to know the exact volumes of finished products. Using a Mercury-type control system, this simply will not happen, because all interested parties, including the end user, can see all the information about the product.

A good example is the control over the catch of aquatic biological resources. Suppose that in one of the regions, fishing is prohibited for some reason. In this case, the system contains information about this, and it is simply impossible to obtain a certificate for such products and put them into circulation.

How Mercury is useful to ordinary buyers?

Let's assume that you have visited the store and purchased cottage cheese. Further, you made cheesecakes from it and soon realized that you were poisoned. If cottage cheese is issued through paper certificates, it is very difficult, almost impossible, to really find out where it was brought from. If we talk about the control of "Mercury", then on the packaging of the goods there is a special bar code, with the help of which you can at any time find out all the information about the manufacturer and the product yourself. Of course, this will help Rosselkhoznadzor employees to find the source of the problem, punish those responsible, and, most importantly, promptly remove the entire batch from sale, saving the health of other people.

Registration of all electronic documents occurs only on the basis of older and already existing documents in the system. This forms a chain of digital documentation that cannot be faked.

Why hasn't Mercury been universally introduced yet?

Obviously, the use of Mercury will become a real problem for many dishonest manufacturers, and therefore they are doing their best to prevent the introduction of this system. However, they are not alone against such an initiative. Regional veterinary services they are also often against it, because with the new mechanism of interaction they will not be able to draw up documents for money. Moreover, they are simply not ready and do not want to switch to a new, unfamiliar electronic system that needs to be understood.

Fortunately, the Mercury system development team trains specialists with a range of various methods, starting with the organization of video conferences for individuals or entire groups, ending with the direct arrival of employees to take refresher courses. They also conduct offsite training sessions. Moreover, even now you can get training at the Veterinary Committee of the city of Moscow, which actively participated in the development of the Mercury system. Also, the entire Vladimir region has already integrated the system into its work, and local specialists are training young personnel.

Advantages and prospects of a multi-level traceability system

Rosselkhoznadzor has come a long way and achieved the implementation of a product traceability system in Russia. Already now registration of electronic certificates is a reality. However, this is only the beginning and there are still many important tasks ahead. The next stage will be the establishment of work in the field of electronic veterinary certification and interaction with major supplying countries, which will bring the issue of traceability to the international level.

At the moment, the entire cycle of electronic control begins with the checkpoints of goods at the border. But this path can be expanded and brought directly to foreign manufacturers with whom Russia cooperates. Thus, it will be possible to completely eliminate the possibility of carrying counterfeit products, smuggling under the guise of registered products. If even before arriving at the border it is known about the arrival of some specific goods, then the process of customs control will be simpler and faster.

Of course, it is proposed to integrate Mercury to countries with an underdeveloped area of ​​internal traceability and product control. If we talk about countries that already have their own system, the convenience of work will be in the mutual support and integration of these two specific systems. The developers of the Mercury system are actively in contact with foreign IT specialists and agree on integration work. At the moment, there are also first successes in this direction, as mutual cooperation with New Zealand has been established.

Mercury is on guard of quality products!

The Mercury system has complex structure, on the implementation of which high-class professionals have been working for many years. And even now, when the program is working successfully, they are constantly improving and developing it in order to make product control more perfect.

Employees of the Rosselkhoznadzor hope that their work will make the traceability system convenient and inevitable. With the help of the Mercury system, every year the work will become much easier for all respectable producers and consumers, and control over the entire turnover will be stricter and more accurate. Of course, this will have a positive impact on the standard of living of all residents of the country.
