On June 10, deputies of the Lutsk City Council unanimously adopted an Appeal to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the President of Ukraine, and the Prime Minister of Ukraine regarding the actions of the State Tax Administration of Ukraine in the sphere of state registration of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs. The appeal, in particular, states that at present local self-government bodies are carrying out measures to implement the Law of Ukraine "On State Registration of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs," the adoption of which "achieved a compromise on preserving the existing application procedure for state registration in local government bodies and creating a specialized network of registration bodies on the basis of existing departments and administrations of city executive committees while simultaneously forming an open state register of business entities in Ukraine." The deputies also assert that "recently the State Tax Administration of Ukraine, through its actions, is trying to slow down the adoption of certain by-laws necessary for the implementation of the above-mentioned Law and is trying to take over the functions of state registration." Deputies of the Lutsk City Council believe that depriving local self-government bodies of the function of state registration of business entities has led to "a significant weakening of the role of local self-government bodies in managing the city's infrastructure and will deprive the city authorities of the opportunity to promote the development of entrepreneurial structures in the subordinate territory; a reduction in revenues to local budgets due to the non-receipt of funds from registration actions and a gross violation of citizens' rights to freely conduct entrepreneurial activity, as provided for by Articles 22 and 42 of the Constitution of Ukraine, since the transfer of state registration functions to interested departments may lead to delays by sectoral state services during the legalization of private entrepreneurship entities." In connection with the above, the Lutsk City Council asked the Verkhovna Rada, the President, and the Prime Minister of Ukraine for intervention in order to "ensure strict compliance by executive authorities with the Law of Ukraine 'On State Registration of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs,' which provides for the simplification of the procedure for legalizing entrepreneurial activity in Ukraine, taking into account the specifics of regulation of entrepreneurial activity at the local level by local self-government bodies." It is worth noting that similar appeals were adopted by deputies of the Mykolaiv and Rivne city councils.
