Debatēs deputāts Jānis Vitenbergs (NA) skaidroja, ka priekšlikums ir vienkāršs.

Pircējiem būs iespēja redzēt cik daudz šādu produktu ir veikalu plauktos ir. Arī tirgotāji iepriekš komisijā norādīja, ka jau šobrīd plauktos gandrīz nemaz nav agresorvalstu produktu.

“Nu viss, krievu desa, tagad mēs meklēsim pa veikaliem, kādā valodā runājis pavārs, kad rullējis šo desu. Tagad meklēsim tādu desu, kuru rullējot runāts angliski, kā minimums,” no tribīnes ironizēja Aleksejs Rosļikovs (ST!), nodevējot diskusiju par smieklīgu. Viņš sacīja, ka smieklīgi ir tas, ka parlaments cenšas saprast, no kuras valsts nākusi pārtika. “Ja būs papildu izmaksas ar karodziņiem, tad tās izmaksas tiks sadalītas uz visiem,” retoriski vaicāja opozīcijas deputāts. “Jā, es lobēju krievu desu,” runu noslēdza Rosļikovs.
