Notaries should become one of the key subjects, who will take
registration functions upon themselves and significantly improve quality of
these services. Such statement has been made during a round table meeting
“Providing notaries with access to the Unified state register of legal
entities, natural persons – entrepreneurs and public formations” by the
Minister of Justice of Ukraine Pavlo Petrenko.
“We are entering the final phase of reforming the Ministry of Justice
services system where notaries will play one of the key roles. They have been
working in this sector for many years as private subjects and they have an
individual approach to every client. Most of the notaries are motivated to
ensure that an individual should receive quick and high quality consultation
and good service. After all, a satisfied customer will return to the same
notary to receive another service”, - stated the Minister.
He pointed out that in case of Parliament’s adoption of the Bill “On
state registration of legal entities, natural persons – entrepreneurs and
public formations” (№2983) notaries will perform all registration actions
related to real estate. Apart from that, they will additionally receive
authority to perform business registration.
According to the Minister, apart from additional authority, notary
community representatives will receive remuneration – 60% from the
administration fee that citizens will pay for the services.
“You get a chance to earn additional money on services you provide to
Ukrainian citizens. It all depends on you. If you don’t provide high quality
services in a competitive environment, citizens may address any other notary or
local government within the region to perform registration”, - stated Pavlo
Petrenko.
Only those reforms in citizen service sector will be successful, which
won’t depend on who is currently in power. It is possible only when highly
professional private subjects, who have experience and willingness to provide
quality services, enter the system.
“Notaries are a community that copes well with the tasks entrusted to
them for 20 years, regardless of the political situation. I am positive that if
you will receive new functions, within the framework of decentralization and
the Ministry of Justice public services’ reform, you will worthily perform your
work, and the quality of services will become high regardless of who is in
charge of ministry or who occupies government offices”, - stated the Minister.
MP Dmytro Starozhuk, in his turn, stated that the bill on transfer of
registration functions to new entities is a subject of join work of the
Ministry of Justice and MPs.
“This bill was supported by MPs from all fractions of the coalition. We
share a common understanding that reforms are necessary and we will move
forward with them”, - Dmytro Starozhu stated.
He also pointed out that consideration notary community’s suggestions on
improving bills will be the result of today’s discussion.
“Your suggestions will be taken into account in preparing laws for the
second reading”, - he said.
During the discussion notaries were interested in conditions of
connection to the registers and scope of authority they will have when
performing registration actions.
In the same way, participants have discussed matters of possible
training for notaries, who will have problems in working with new registers,
and suggested a number of technical amendments to the bill on business
registration that allow to avoid inaccuracies or ambiguities in wording.
