Over 40 proposals on amending laws on enforcement proceedings in Belarusian parliament

MINSK, 23 March (BelTA) – Over 40 proposals have been submitted by government agencies and ministries to the parliament in the course of working out amendments to the laws regulating enforcement proceedings, BelTA learned from Deputy Chairman of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of Belarus Valery Mitskevich during a consensus meeting held in the parliament on 23 March.

The bill is designed to improve the procedure of executing writs of enforcement. The amendments provide for correcting the laws on enforcement proceedings, on bailiffs, on state registration of real estate, rights to it and transactions with it, on the population registry, as well as a number of codes (the Code of Commercial Procedure, the Code of Civil Procedure, the Penal Execution Code, and the Labor Code).

Valery Mitskevich said that over 40 remarks and proposals had been submitted in the course of the work on the bill. Some of them are mutually exclusive. “In this situation it is difficult for the commission working on the bill to make up its mind. A compromise would be ideal,” he said.

In turn, Chairwoman of the Legislation Commission of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly Svetlana Lyubetskaya remarked that MPs are intent on balancing interests of natural persons, legal persons, and the state. “Every government agency is interested in the bill. You have to understand that. This is why it is necessary to find compromise today, to respect peculiarities of operation of all the agencies. It is necessary to work out mutual mechanisms in order to ensure faultless operation of the compulsory execution system. It represents an evaluation of the work of the state, the state's ability to protect citizens, companies, and its own interests,” she stressed.

The parliament intends to address the lingering differences of opinion and determine the strategy of further work on the bill. “There are questions concerning the seizure of property, the sequence for recovering sums since we need to balance interests of private debtors and the state when the state acts as a debtor,” she explained.

“Debtors do not always try to comply with court rulings in full and on time. Suppressing these abuses is one of the goals of the bill,” Svetlana Lyubetskaya added.

An independent compulsory execution agency was established in the course of a court reform in Belarus. Today the agency is responsible for prompt, correct, and full enforcement of resolutions of government agencies and court rulings. The work is geared towards protecting interests of citizens as much as possible and towards restoring violated rights.
