MINSK, 26 June (BelTA) – The package of documents meant to simplify business operation terms in Belarus may be signed within one month, BelTA learned from First Deputy Prime Minister of Belarus Vasily Matyushevsky on 26 June.
The official said: “We expect that the draft presidential decree developed by the working group led by Natalya Kochanova will be discussed very soon. Addenda will be adopted at the same time. We expect it to happen within literally one month.”
BelTA reported earlier that large-scale and systemic work was done in the last six months to determine approaches to optimizing the regulatory requirements for private business and for auditing. The work resulted in a package of draft legal acts meant to liberate the business initiative in various spheres. The package includes draft presidential decisions on entrepreneurship development and ruling out excessive requirements for private business; decisions on reducing the number of activities that need licenses; decisions on enabling conditions conducive to the development of trade, public catering, consumer services; on improving oversight and auditing; on introducing tax consultancy; on additional measures to encourage the development of individual types of entrepreneurship such as agroecotourism, arts and crafts.
