In Volyn, 20 permit offices have been created and are actually operating, and the same number of persons have been appointed to the position of state administrator. Indicative in this regard is the permit office operating in the Rozhyshche district, where an off-site meeting of the Lutsk Press Club of Reforms was held. This was reported on June 2 by press club coordinator Bohdana Stelmakh.\n\nThe Unified Permit Office (UPO) has been operating under the Rozhyshche District State Administration since October of last year; experienced specialists with appropriate training work here. At the same time, according to the head of the representation of the State Committee for Regulatory Policy and Entrepreneurship, Valentyna Biletska, in many cities and districts of the region, including in Lutsk, such permit offices "are so far operating in an information and consultation mode."\n\nThe main reason is staffing: in many districts, the functions of the administrator are performed by persons who hold other positions, since there were no other candidates for this job.\n\nAnother reason is the lack of awareness among citizens — future or current subjects of economic and entrepreneurial activity — about this type of service, which gives them the opportunity, in a "single window" mode, to submit the necessary documents in one place and receive various permits and approvals for conducting their activities.\n\nAccording to the head of the Rozhyshche District State Administration, Oleh Savchuk, although the permit system simplifies and facilitates the work of permit structures, it at the same time deprives them of certain levers of influence. On the one hand, this removes bureaucratic obstacles, but on the other hand, certain services today do not inform entrepreneurs about the existence of permit offices.\n\nOleh Savchuk noted that his employees and the administration's staff take all these aspects in the activity of the Unified Permit Office into account and try to make every effort to ensure that the structure works at full capacity. The necessary knowledge for this is available, since Oleh Savchuk himself was at one time a consultant for the "BIZPRO" project on creating a permit office in the Rivne City Council.
