Meeting of the PAC under the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Belarus

Deputy Chairman of the Association of European Business Maria Karas took part in a meeting of the public advisory council for the development of entrepreneurship under the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Belarus.

The AEB supported the position of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Belarus on the inadvisability of enshrining in the legislation the need to submit to the registration and tax authorities (during state registration of a legal entity or within three months after its implementation) a letter of guarantee or other document confirming the right to locate an organization at its location, since this is contrary to s. 12.4. Decree of the President of the Republic of Belarus dated June 25, 2021 No. 240 “On administrative procedures carried out in relation to economic entities”, which provides for a gradual reduction in the administrative burden on businesses.

Giving official status to the e-mail address of a business entity also was supported. The introduction of this rule will help expand the scope of paperless workflow and digital transformation of the procedure for implementing administrative procedures.
