Lukashenko signed a decree on a significant reduction of administrative burden on citizens
In Belarus, administrative procedures have been adjusted taking into account the practice of their application, as well as changes in legislative acts. The head of state, Alexander Lukashenko, signed the relevant decree No. 5 "On Amending the Decrees of the President of the Republic of Belarus on Administrative Procedures" on January 9. This was reported by BELTA from the press service of the Belarusian leader.
The document aims to reduce the administrative burden on citizens, optimize and simplify a significant number of procedures. Changes have been made comprehensively and taking into account the proposals of the public, a wide range of interested bodies and organizations.
In particular, for the convenience of citizens, the number of requested documents for more than 100 administrative procedures is being reduced. For example, when providing documents confirming payment for a number of procedures, the capabilities of the ERIP will be utilized more fully. A significant portion of the information will be requested by government bodies independently. Procedures that have lost their relevance, including due to the automation of interaction between government bodies, are being excluded. Thus, the need for parents to obtain certificates related to the provision of children with vouchers at the expense of budget funds is excluded. Relevant information will be automatically requested from the unified accounting system of such children of the Republican Center for Health Improvement and Sanatorium-Resort Treatment.
In addition, the timeframes for carrying out a number of administrative procedures are being reduced. In particular, the timeframe for issuing a signed act of inspection of the conservation of unfinished construction is reduced from 1 month to 20 calendar days.
At the same time, new administrative procedures are being established to enable citizens to fully exercise their rights. For example, this concerns obtaining the consent of the guardianship authority for the alienation of residential premises in the interests of a minor child under state care.
In order to enhance the legal protection of citizens, additional documents are being introduced for the implementation of certain procedures. For example, for transactions with state registration of real estate that entail the emergence of the right of joint ownership of spouses.
