The MPs of Șor Party suggest that the activities based on the entrepreneur’s patent should be allowed for an unlimited period of time. The law stipulates the end of 2022 as the time limit, IPN reports.

“Owing to the patent holders, the small business will be able to survive in this period that is not at all easy and not only in this period. The keeping of patents will enable the people to continue work legally and to maintain the existing jobs, which is very important today,” MP Vadim Fotescu stated in a press briefing.

He noted that when the time limit for work based on the entrepreneur’s patent was introduced, the COVID-19 pandemic hadn’t broken out. “Given that we are witnesses to rises in the prices of the basic necessities, it’s clear that work based on the entrepreneur’s patent should not be annulled. Thousands of people and their families will remain without sources of living,” said the MP.

In 2019, the authorities extended the deadline by which the activities based on the entrepreneur’s patent are allowed until December 31, 2022.
