State control introduces new mode of business inspection

16 октября 2017

Planned inspections will be canceled, and the list of grounds for inspections will be reduced significantly.

Today, the President signed a decree. It will become part of a large package of documents on business liberalization. Since the New Year, inspectors will be able to visit an enterprise only if they know for sure about violations. High risks of non-compliance with the law on the part of an entrepreneur will be the basis for inspections in a year. Evaluation criteria are to be determined by the government. Information about the checks will be open. It will be placed on the website of the State Control. Every businessman will have the possibility to find out in advance whether the inspectors will visit his enterprise.

Only court will be empowered to issue orders to suspend the work of enterprises. The responsibility of inspectors for violation of the order of inspections will be strengthened. The number of bodies authorized to conduct inspections has been reduced by one third. The new rules of business control will come into force on January 1.
