Although the fight against red tape is not from yesterday, we will still have to change 102 more laws to remove unnecessary requirements for businesses and citizens and speed up the work of the administration. The laws are written in order to reduce the administrative burden. It promises the dropping of documents, which we have been promised on other occasions, reduction of deadlines and more use of the registers maintained by the administration. Some of these goals, however, should in theory have already been met, and in others there are conflicting intentions of different departments.
In the plan, for example, for the nth time, it is promised to remove one of the hateful stickers that must be stuck on the car’s glass – for compulsory “Civil Liability” insurance. The sticker will be removed because an obligation has been introduced for the driver to carry the relevant document proving the circumstance, the Ministry of the Interior explains. This should be done with a change in the road traffic law, which will remove the requirement for the sticker in the future, but it will remain to carry an inspection ticket next to the “Civil Liability” sign.
However, for several months now, another project with changes to the same law has been pending in the parliament, in which the deputies are much more generous with the reliefs – they propose to drop the requirement to carry a document for an annual technical inspection and to drop the control coupon attached to the sign for “Civil responsibility”. The Transport Committee in the National Assembly is not overwhelmed by bills, but despite this, it has not found the will to start looking at these changes for the fourth month. One of the comments to the plan is also in the direction of completely dropping the same requirement. “The amendment now preserves the obligation to carry a card, which contradicts the measure,” the citizen points out.
The plan again contains many amendments that should consign to history documents that have become a symbol of excessive administrative burden. With changes to the law on judicial power, for example, the Ministry of Justice proposes to ex officio check data on persons, events and objects from the unified information system for countering crime, as well as to provide information on the presence of legal capacity (but only acquired after 1 January 2011). Now a document of legal capacity is required in 11 laws, and a certificate of the absence of initiated criminal proceedings for an intentional crime of a general nature – in 10. 7 years ago, Boyko Borisov declared war on the criminal record certificate, and if the reports are to be believed, then she was almost won – now it is in 10 laws, and then it was in 68.
Serious relief will also come from the cadastre. Now, on many occasions, sketches, schemes, extracts from cadastral maps, copies, etc. must be taken from it – as many as nine laws require them. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications proposes that in the future these documents be provided ex officio as an internal service between the departments. A referral for a psychiatric report will also be made ex officio. It is now required for gun permits, adoptions, property transactions.
A major revolution is being prepared by the Ministry of Education and Culture in the law on higher education – it will state that when a higher education diploma is required by law, it will be provided ex officio by the ministry. This will be possible for diplomas issued after January 1, 2012. With the same law, the law on pre-school and school education will be amended, and data for secondary education diplomas issued after January 1, 2007, and for certificates of basic education issued after June 1, 2009. In theory, this should mean that we will no longer carry our diploma for a driving course, for example, and the automobile administration will check it ex officio by the Ministry of Education and Culture.
Unlike other such plans, this one is curious in that almost all ministries have directly written down the regulatory changes they propose. The problem is that there are no deadlines for their introduction, and the explanation is that other changes will be used as a rocket carrier according to the schedule of the legislative program of the MC or when laws are opened for other more important reasons.
There are 78 registers in the BFSA alone
From some of the proposals, it can be seen to what heights the bureaucracy has reached in our country. The Food Agency alone, for example, maintains 78 registers. There is a clustering of five registers in relation to veterinary medicinal products. Almost the same onslaught is with milk. A forest of registers has also grown up around our cultural assets – we have registers of museums, of movable assets, national wealth, of underground cultural assets, of technical means for their exploration, of exploration permits themselves, etc. At the same time, we have a register of persons who carry out commercial activity with cultural values, and a register of traders who have been issued a permit for auction activity with cultural values.
Zoos have a similar problem. They are registered in the food agency under the “livestock” line, and under the biodiversity line they are licensed in the MoEW. However, in one place there are zoos, and in the other – zoological gardens. After the two agencies found no differences between the two concepts, they will now have to figure out how to eliminate the duplication, the plan says.
They also throw out the “request” from the laws
Some ministries are yet to make a “language” reform to replace the outdated “application” with the more modern application. The ministries of agriculture, transport, economy, environment, regional development and culture are involved in such changes. Part of the laws will be changed by two ministries – this is the case, for example, with the law on weapons, ammunition, explosives and pyrotechnic articles, where, along with the reliefs, a condition will be introduced that pyrotechnics should not be used during rest hours. The Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Economy will make changes here.
Benefits will be inherited without a certificate
Due to the new texts in the law on e-governance, in recent days the social ministry has proposed changes to three social regulations. With two of them, heirs will be exempted from the obligation to provide a certificate of heirs when they are transferred benefits from NOI, left unused by their deceased relative. For this purpose, the regulations on the granting of benefits by the National Insurance Institute are being changed. The third ordinance removes some required documents when applying for money from the workers’ claims guarantee fund in the event of the employer’s bankruptcy. Now, for example, the unemployed person had to submit with his application for financing from the fund a statement of the wages due, although the same statement is also submitted by the employer.
102 laws are not enough
The plan enjoys quite dynamic feedback in the public discussion. Two people, for example, are proposing to drop the frequent requirement for documentation that a person has no outstanding public debt. In order to prove this fact, it is necessary for the relevant person to obtain at least 3 certificates from three administrations, because these certificates are issued by the National Revenue Agency for taxes and insurance payable, the Customs Agency for customs and excise duties and the municipal revenue department of the relevant municipality for municipal receivables, he wrote.
