Highlights: Izvestia: self-employed taxi drivers will not have to change foreign cars for Russian cars. "The decisions of the constituent entities of Russia to establish requirements for the localization of taxis will not apply to cars already used as taxis," the report says. In June, Russian leader Vladimir Putin instructed the country's government to consider the issue of requirements for localization of cars, taxis and car sharing. Also in the Magadan region, it was forbidden to attract foreigners to work in transport.

Self-employed taxi drivers will not necessarily need to switch from foreign cars to domestic cars if the law on the minimum level of taxi localization in Russia is adopted.
