The number of permissive documents required for starting and developing businesses will be decreased again, this time by 150, according to a bill approved by the Cabinet. Prime Minister Pavel Filip, in the June 12 meeting of the Cabinet, reminded that the number of such documents at the first stage was cut from over 400 to under 300, but continues to be high. The documents were reviewed again with the involvement of international and national experts and over 100 required certificates, authorizations and licenses remained as a result, IPN reports.

Pavel Filip said the move is aimed at reducing the costs incurred by entrepreneurs and also the spent time.

The new daft nomenclature of permissive documents has three components: authorizations, certificates and license. These will be issued by the authorities in accordance with the area of activity of the business entity.

The changes ban the authorities from groundlessly rejecting the application submitted by an entrepreneur. If this is filled out inappropriately or not all the required documents are attached, the authority will inform the applicant and will extend the period for issuing the document for up to 30 days.

The document is to be submitted to Parliament for examination.
