Dear residents of the region!The flood season in our region has concluded.In this regard, I would like to particularly highlight the coordinated work of all authorized bodies. Thanks to the timely measures taken, populated areas were protected from meltwater. We did not allow a single residential house to be flooded. All necessary measures were taken. No emergency situations were registered. Protective engineering structures were implemented in advance:- In 92 populated areas, 32 protective embankments with a total length of 54 km were built and reinforced;- 38 water culverts were installed;- 78 km of storm sewer were cleaned;- Snow was cleared from more than 1,600 private house yards across the region.Over 3,600 people and more than 500 pieces of equipment were involved in carrying out these works. Hydrological posts operated around the clock on the rivers, maintaining constant monitoring of water levels.Thus, the period associated with the threat of flooding in the Kostanay region passed in a routine manner. All of this is the result of our joint work.I would like to express my gratitude to all citizens who participated in the joint efforts – emergency service personnel, military personnel, volunteers, and youth.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/1196315?lang=kk

An open accreditation system is being formed in Kazakhstan, based on transparency and digitalization as key tools for increasing efficiency, as previously noted by the Head of State Kassym-Jomart Kemeluly Tokayev.The new digital mechanism will cover key market participants, including laboratories, certification bodies, and other organizations within the accreditation system. The new format allows for remote assessments, making procedures faster, simpler, and more transparent, reducing unnecessary formalities and eliminating corruption risks even under movement restrictions, including floods and quarantine.According to Iskander Khamitov, General Director of the RSE "National Accreditation Center" of the Committee for Technical Regulation and Metrology of the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the remote format removes unnecessary barriers: procedures that previously required travel and personal presence are now available online using digital tools.It is important to note that the remote format is available only for scheduled assessments and organizations meeting established criteria. Initial accreditations, re-registrations, relocation, or expansion of activities will still require on-site visits by expert groups.The implementation of the mechanism will be phased. In 2026, a pilot launch will begin for approximately 300 entities: the first assessments will be conducted with on-site visits by technical experts and under their supervision. In 2027, scaling to all scheduled inspections is planned — out of 700 entities, some will be able to undergo remote assessment while maintaining high standards.The initiative creates a unified digital environment, increases the transparency of procedures, and reduces administrative barriers for businesses.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti-ktrm/press/news/details/1196321?lang=kk

The Department of Trade and Consumer Rights Protection of the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the North Kazakhstan Region reports on a significant court decision made in defense of consumer rights.Court No. 2 of the city of Petropavlovsk has fully satisfied the Department's lawsuit against an individual entrepreneur for the recovery of funds in favor of consumers.The basis for the appeal to the court was numerous appeals from citizens who purchased tickets for a concert by the performer "Akmal", scheduled for October 25, 2025, in the city of Kostanay. Due to the cancellation of the event, the obligations to refund consumers were not fulfilled by the respondent or were not fulfilled properly (partially).During the consideration of the case, it was established that a significant number of consumers did not receive a full refund of the money paid. Despite sending a pre-trial claim to the entrepreneur, the identified violations were not rectified.Given that the rights of more than ten consumers were violated, the Department exercised its right to apply to the court in defense of an indefinite number of persons in accordance with the current legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.The achieved result was made possible thanks to the coordinated and consistent work of the Department's specialists, who ensured effective consideration of citizens' appeals and proper support of the case in judicial bodies.By the court's decision, 5,380,126 (five million three hundred eighty thousand one hundred twenty-six) tenge was recovered from the respondent in favor of the affected citizens.  "The adopted court decision is an important law enforcement precedent confirming the state-guaranteed protection of consumer rights. Regardless of the form of service provision, including the use of electronic platforms, business entities are obliged to properly and fully fulfill the obligations they have undertaken to consumers.This result also testifies to the high efficiency and professionalism of the Department's employees, whose coordinated work made it possible to ensure the restoration of the violated rights of citizens.The Department will continue systematic work to protect consumer rights and will respond in principle to every identified violation", — noted the acting head of the Department G. Abayev. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1196326?lang=kk
