Сontrol over business environment to radically change in Belarus

16 октября 2017

Every businessman is familiar with the checks today. Especially the manufacturer. Tax, fire, security measures. If the control is on the plan, the inspectors "monitor" the work from 2 to 4 weeks, the head of a Grodno company says. The enterprise is quite successful. Stable export. New workplaces. The workers, are sure that the controllers are unlikely to help the regional business to reach new heights. Then why are they so closely watched?

The businessman asked for new approaches to the work of the inspectors for a long time. Sometimes unintentional mistakes put an end to business. The temporary suspension of work resulted in such losses that it was not possible to continue even after the lifting of sanctions.

As a result, the President instructed to finalize the inspections..

An important innovation of the decree is strengthening the responsibility of inspectors for violating the procedure of inspections. And on the whole, the powers of the inspectors are substantially curtailed. It is important that now they can not directly issue orders to suspend the business. Since new year, this can only be done through courts.

The decree continues the general line on simplifying the entire work of business, trust in exchange for responsibility. The principle is the guarantor of a more trusting relationship between business and the state.

Over the next year, the government will decide which criteria will serve as the basis for inspections at enterprises. Information about the inspections will be publicly available on the site of the State Control. And every businessman can know in advance whether the inspectors will come to him. Simultaneously, the country will undergo a great optimization of the controlling bodies themselves. It is expected that the authority to conduct inspections will be lost by one third of the controllers, and the number of spheres subject to them will be reduced by almost half.
