The business environment of the Volyn region is 98% unprepared for dialogue with the authorities. This conclusion was voiced at a meeting of the Lutsk Press Club of Reforms, held on the initiative of the Institute of Competitive Society and dedicated to monitoring the regulatory policy of the region. This was reported on 28 February by the press club coordinator Bohdana Stelmakh. \n \nAccording to the head of the Association for the Protection of the Rights of Small and Medium Business "Business-Lutsk," expert of the Institute of Competitive Society Anatolii Nosaliuk, his monitoring of the informativeness of the official web page of the Volyn Regional State Administration regarding the availability of draft regulatory acts and the analysis of their regulatory impact demonstrates, firstly, that obtaining the necessary information is extremely difficult even for a specialist. Secondly, already existing documents and draft regulatory acts are posted together, which significantly complicates the process of searching for and perceiving information. \n \nIn addition, according to him, only half of the questions submitted regarding a particular regulatory document have been answered, and its expediency is often formulated "in a one-sided direction – 'it must be done.'" Given this, "today we need to work on making documents better quality and more effective." \n \nOne of the reasons for the existence of these and other negative aspects, according to the regional representative of the State Committee for Entrepreneurship Valentyna Biletska and the head of the department for entrepreneurship and regulatory policy of the main department of economy of the Regional State Administration Larysa Danyliuk, lies in the insufficient activity of the public. \n \nExecutive Director of the Volyn Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs Yurii Antsukh believes that "people have not eradicated the slave within themselves." However, in his opinion, there is another side to the problem: "How is an entrepreneur who deals with work issues all day supposed to know that there is a draft important to him on some website?" \n \nIn his opinion, the authorities are ready to listen to entrepreneurs' opinions, "but is the business environment ready to work at such an intellectual level?" 98% – no. Given this, Yurii Antsukh proposes that entrepreneurs unite in organizations and elect a representative who would professionally resolve their issues. In addition, according to him, "there is no critical mass of pressure on officials for them to resolve the urgent problems of business." As a result of these reasons, regulatory policy in the region, although it is being conducted, "has not become easier for the entrepreneur." \n
