The number of inspection bodies will be decreased significantly, IPN reports, quoting the amendments and supplements to a number of legal acts, especially the Law on State Control over Entrepreneurial Activity, approved by the Government.
Thus, of 33 inspection bodies existing now, only 11 will remain, alongside five independent regulators.
The goal of the inspection bodies reform is to diminish the administrative burden on the business community, eliminate the situations of abuse, optimize state control and make it transparent.
“By this bill, the number of entities with inspection powers is reduced and predictability and transparency are ensured in state inspections, which no longer leave room for corruption,” stated Prime Minister Pavel Filip.
The reform of the state inspection bodies started several months ago by instituting a moratorium on state inspections and approving amendments to the inspection procedures. Among the innovations of the reform are the tougher rules for those who initiate and perform inspections and the harsh punishment of those who commit abuses, and the creation of councils for settling disputes at all the inspection bodies by engaging representatives of the business community. The inspection bodies will be merged by specific areas of activity and types of risk.
The bill on state control over entrepreneurial activity is to be submitted to Parliament for examination and adoption.
