Purification of the regulatory field continues – the Government approved the draft of the Decree of the President of Ukraine on the repeal of some Decrees that previously introduced state regulatory instruments.
Canceled:
- Decree of the President of Ukraine dated September 18, 1992 No. 479 “On the Temporary Regulation on Legal Protection of Industrial Property Objects and Rationaliіing Proposals in Ukraine” – was approved on the basis of the Constitution of Soviet Ukraine (from 1978) and, accordingly, became irrelevant with the adoption of the Constitution of Ukraine in 1996;
- Decree of the President of Ukraine dated April 2, 2012 No. 240 “Some issues of re-export of goods” was approved on the basis of the Customs Code of Ukraine from 2002. The new Customs Code of Ukraine was adopted in 2012, accordingly, the previous code became invalid, and with it Decree No. 240 became irrelevant.
Today, these documents are outdated and only create an unnecessary administrative burden on both business and state authorities. The draft Decree of the President will cancel such instruments as the Certificate for rationalization proposals and the Permit for re-export of goods originating from other countries.
Thus, the approval of the draft Decree “On the recognition of certain decrees of the President of Ukraine as having lost their validity” will improve the state regulatory environment. The adopted draft of the Decree was developed in accordance with the recommendations of the Interdepartmental working group on the issues of accelerated review of the instruments of state regulation of economic activity (IWG on deregulation). The group is headed by First Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Economy of Ukraine Yulia Svyrydenko and Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov. The meetings are also attended by representatives of leading analytical centres, in particular the BRDO.
