A working group has been set up in Belarus to simplify administrative procedures for the private sector. Prime Minister of Belarus Andrei Kobyakov signed the relevant executive order on 21 March, the press service of the Belarus government told BelTA.
The working group will be led by First Deputy Prime Minister Vasily Matyushevsky. The group includes deputy ministers of economy, finance, energy, communication and information technologies, natural resources and environmental protection, representatives of the State Standardization Committee, the Minsk Oblast administration, the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus, the Entrepreneurship Promotion Council, the Business Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers named after Professor M.S. Kunyavsky, the Belarusian Scientific Industrial Association, the Belarusian Union of Entrepreneurs, and the Minsk City Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers.
The working group has been tasked with preparing proposals on ways to improve the legislation that regulate administrative procedures concerning legal persons and self-employed businessmen. Proposals will also be worked out to phase out excessive, outdated and ineffective administrative procedures encountered by private business in Belarus. Apart from that, proposals will be worked out on ways to measure the regulatory impact of legal acts on the administrative procedures that legal persons and self-employed businessmen have to deal with in Belarus. The working group will also consider setting up a digital registry of administrative procedures that legal persons and self-employed businessmen have to deal with in Belarus.
Analytical groups (subgroups) will be established to deal with individual parts of the working group's overall area of work. Specialists of central state administration agencies and other government agencies subordinate to the central government, specialists of research institutions, education institutions, associations of entrepreneurs and other organizations, international experts will be invited to make their contribution to the group's work.
By 20 January 2017 the Council of Ministers expects to receive a report on the group's work in 2016 and the results achieved in an effort to optimize the administrative procedures.
