As part of the deregulation reform, the Government of Ukraine has adopted a resolution and an order cancelling 204 state regulation instruments related to business operations.
52 regulatory acts have been declared invalid: 25 in full and 27 partially. This decision will significantly reduce the administrative burden on entrepreneurs and simplify business operations in Ukraine.
Which Areas Are Affected?
✖️ Healthcare and Sanitary Control — Cancelled Instruments Include:
- Sanitary passport for transport.
- Approval of the use of air conditioning systems in rooms designated for dental X-ray examinations.
- Decision allowing the sale of meat delivered to a processing facility, supermarket, store, etc.
✖️ Agricultural Policy and Food — Cancelled Instruments Include:
- Approval for the import of poultry products into Ukraine.
- Permit and approval for moving poultry products beyond the borders of a region.
✖️ Occupational Safety, Construction, Fire Safety, and Foreign Economic Activity — Cancelled Instruments Include:
- Conclusion on the possibility of constructing a health facility.
- Approval of enterprise reprofiling projects.
- Permit to commission newly constructed or renovated hair salons.
- Approval to determine the category of enterprises or facilities that use radiation or ionizing radiation sources.
- Permit for the production of new product lines or types in the perfume and cosmetics industry.
The overall economic effect of the reform is estimated at over UAH 600 million annually, which businesses will now save by no longer needing to go through obsolete and unnecessary procedures.
These decisions are the result of the work carried out by the Interdepartmental Working Group on Deregulation (IWG), which is systematically reviewing current regulations to eliminate outdated or excessive administrative barriers.
The Better Regulation Delivery Office (BRDO) contributed to the IWG’s work within the framework of the EU4Business: SME Policies and Institutions Support (SMEPIS) project, implemented by Ecorys in consortium with GIZ, BRDO, and Civitta with the financial support of the European Union
