22 июля 2021

The broadest range of topics was discussed today in the Palace of Independence: nuclear safety, export, work of holding companies and individual entrepreneurs and training of medical personnel. Whatever topics are on the agenda, the approaches of the head of state during the discussion are invariable: expediency, economic efficiency and social justice. Among the proposals of the Council of Ministers is the creation of a national operator for radioactive waste management. As for the work on the external circuit, it is proposed to introduce the positions of official representatives of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Agriculture in our embassy in China. They also discussed optimization of the staff of foreign institutions. But the government proposes to increase the number of tax authorities for the sake of simplification of tax administration. Another draft decree concerns adjustments to the legislation on holdings. Almost 100 holding companies unite about 650 enterprises. The new form of doctor's postgraduate training was also discussed. The President raised legitimate questions: how much will the innovations be justified, and will we not lose our best achievements in the pursuit of others' standards?

The government had some proposals to regulate the work of individual entrepreneurs and self-employed people. Alexander Lukashenko has repeatedly spoken about the need to put order in this area. The initiative should not be stifled, but the system should be clear! Approaches to taxation of entrepreneurs will change by 2023. In general, all the proposed innovations were supported by the President - taking into account the discussion, they will have to be finalized.
