Lawmakers from three parliamentary factions have registered a draft law foreseeing the narrowing of the list of licensed types of economic activities, but with a reduction less radical than foreseen in an alternative draft cabinet resolution.

Draft law No. 6153 foresees licensing of those types of activities, which entail increased danger to the lives, health, constitutional rights and freedoms of citizens or the environment, state security, moral principles and those entitled to access to natural or other restricted resources.

MPs proposed to cancel the licensing of foreign economic activities, precious gems and metals production, the wholesale and retail trade with pesticides and farming chemicals, cargo transportation, the collection of certain waste as secondary raw materials, geodesic work, cartographical work, postal money orders, letters and packages, the activities of travel agencies, physical training and sports, the activities of customs brokers and the production of cars, trucks and buses.

As reported, a draft cabinet resolution registered earlier, apart from the above-mentioned activities, foresees the cancellation of the licensing of the exploration and extraction of mineral resources. In addition, the cabinet proposed to cancel the licensing of industrial fishing, apart from on internal bodies of water, the production of chemical batteries, the recycling of waste chemical batteries, the production of perfumes with ethyl spirit, and the designing, construction and reconstruction of land reclamation projects.
