Today there have entered into force joint orders of the Ministry of Justice
and the Ministry of Finance on on-line information exchange among government
agencies. Relevant documents from the Ministry of Economy, which is
responsible for the statistical authorities, and the Ministry of Social Policy,
which is responsible for the Pension Fund, were signed 2 weeks ago. Today at
the briefing at the Government House, Minister of Justice Pavlo Petrenko
announced that.
"The SFS has long refused to switch over to such radical changes. But
after the Minister of Finance intervened in the situation, we have also signed
a joint order with the Ministry of Finance on on-line data exchange from our
registries, and on-line registration by tax authorities of those entrepreneurs
who have registered with the Ministry of Justice", explained the Minister
of Justice.
According to him, for Ukrainians it means that a key and most problematic
body regarding communication, which is the State Fiscal Service, has been
actually removed from the list of contacts for the citizens who want
to start their own business.
"If you
have registered in the registry of the Ministry of Justice, every 2 hours other
bodies get an access to the relevant information in an electronic form.
Whereas, within two hours these agencies provide updated information from their
registries. In simple words, if early in the day you have been registered as an
entrepreneur, by the end of the day you will already be registered in other
agencies avoiding visiting these institutions and standing in queues",
stressed the Minister of Justice.
However, he
noted that the following 2 weeks the system would be operating in test mode.
During this time all the shortcomings will be identified and removed.
"This
is a huge step towards completing the process, we have started
earlier this year and providing an opportunity for Ukrainian citizens to
register their business within 24 hours. Among other things, this is a very
important sign for the World Bank to improve Ukraine's performance in the Doing
Business ranking," he stressed.
