Mobile operators can count on a simplified procedure for installing and putting into operation mobile communication base stations. Mobile phone towers will be no longer classified as buildings. There will be no need to submit a large number of declarations to the State Architectural-Construction Inspection (DABI) in order to put them into operation.
At the working meeting with the State Regulatory Services (SRS), BRDO experts succeeded to defend the decision of the deregulatory Cabinet of Ministers dated November 26, 2016 regarding simplifying this procedure, which the DABI together with the Ministry for Regional Development, Building and Housing of Ukraine tried to cancel with the help of new draft regulations.
“Proposed amendments would again introduce the need for telecommunication operators to register declarations on the beginning of construction works as well as declarations on the availability of facilities to be used in the DABI. However, this returns old corruption schemes while being contrary to requirements of p.90 of the Action Plan for deregulation of economic activities,” the head of the BRDO’s IT sector Oleksandr Kubrakov said.
BRDO draws the attention of the DABI administration to the inadmissibility of drafting regulations that carry high corruption risks and return barriers canceled previously.
We expect that draft resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers “On amendments to the CMU Resolution No.461 and 466 dated April 13, 2011” as well as “On approval of the List of construction works, which do not require any operating documents and after completion of which facilities are not subject to put into operation” agreed at that meeting will be adopted in the version that does not contradict the current legislation and meet the Government’s deregulatory decision.
