The State Regulatory Service supported Better Regulation Delivery Office (BRDO) proposals related to the improvement of draft licensing conditions of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine on hazardous waste management. It has been stated at the SRS meeting on February, 3.
“The SRS could create an efficient and effective mechanism for discussing draft regulatory acts by all concerned parties,” the BRDO Market Surveillance Sector Head Volodymyr Holovatenko says. “This efficient work will result in licensing conditions, which not only simplify the procedure of access to license markets for business entities, but also stipulate clear requirements for their further activity”.
It is to be reminded that BRDO experts paid attention to the non-compliance of this draft with requirements of a wide range of regulatory acts.
In particular, during the meeting the SRS noted that the hazardous waste “management” instead of the “management operations” as it was proposed in the draft conditions of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources must be licensed. In this context, the Ministry was suggested either to make relevant amendments to the Licensing Law, or take into account its demands in the developed draft law.
Besides, during the meeting, it was agreed to remove a license applicant’s duty to submit document copies, which are in hand of entities providing administrative services, from the draft licensing conditions. In addition, provisions duplicating competencies of other regulatory agencies, especially competencies of the State Inspectorate of Ukraine on Labor and the State Emergency Service of Ukraine will be removed as well.
The SRS invited the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources to bring the developed draft law in compliance with the Laws of Ukraine “On Principles of State Supervision (Control) of economic activity”, “On Administrative Services” and the Law “On Licensing Certain Types of Economic activities”.
