OREANDA-NEWS. June 04, 2010. The Government continues to work to reduce the regulatory pressure on business and plans to pass a bill allowing certain kinds of construction works on the basis of declaration rather than permission. This was stated by the Prime Minister Mykola Azarov during the Cabinet of Ministers session.

In addition, he said, the Government proposes to introduce a declarative principle for certain types of State sanitary and epidemiological surveillance. Also Mykola Azarov said that the Government will adopt an action plan for the current year to improve the permission system in economic activity.

However, the Prime Minister stressed the need for strict implementation by the public authorities of their functions and rigid enforcement of the regulatory legislation by officials. "The government, as they say, is thinning out the regulatory field, and some officials are quietly cluttering it with new "weeds" - he said.

And what is possible no State agencies, that still do not perform the assigned by the State functions. "How far will we go to be consistent? My answer is – extremely" - Mykola Azarov said.
