OREANDA-NEWS. March 26, 2012. The law stipulates the reduction of bodies controlling business from 64 to 33 and is designed to exclude illegal and groundless interference of the state in business by reducing a number of acts of control over businesses and creating a single system of acts of control and inspections.

The law differentiates powers all controlling bodies are authorized with and deprives a number of bodies from the right of redundant duplicated control. Among the most important controlling organs will be the State Fiscal Service, Customs Service, the Service of Financial Control and Revision, the National Commission on Financial Market, the Inspectorate of the State Construction Supervision, the National Bank, the National Office of the Social Insurance, the National Agency for Competition Protection, etc.

The control procedure itself will be well defined, maximum predictable and transparent to exclude misuse by inspectors. The law differentiates cases when to carry out a planned or unannounced inspection, sets forth criteria of control, its procedures, terms of inspections, rights and duties of controlling bodies. According to the law, controlling bodies have to publish quarter schedules of announced inspections and inform companies about them 5 days before. Controlling bodies have to keep the Register of Control and specify who and when was inspected, what results an inspection showed.

This will allow to escape cases when economic agencies are inspected at someone request or commission of rivals. The functioning of controlling bodies will be supervised by the State Office, where a special department will be established for this purpose. This department will also consider complaints on unfair inspections and their results filed by businessmen. Inspectors taking measures which can result in partial or complete cessation of functioning of a company will be sanctioned. Besides, no one part of fines imposed on a company will be paid to the budget of the controlling body.
