The information provided by the heads of regional state administrations to the Secretariat of the President of Ukraine does not correspond to the level of competence of the governors. This was stated today during a conference call with regional leaders by the first deputy head of the Secretariat of the President of Ukraine, Arseniy Yatsenyuk. "We will hand you folders and you will see that you do not read 30% of what you sign. Read what you sign," Yatsenyuk "kindly" recommended to the regional leaders. He also asked the governors that their activities in these positions be analyzed by local specialists and, based on the results of the analysis, the heads of regional state administrations be relieved of "duties not inherent to them." "Submit your proposals for optimizing the work. Otherwise we will drown in papers and unnecessary reporting," Yatsenyuk summarized.
In addition, the Secretariat requires the heads of state regional administrations to provide information by Friday, October 13, on how the value added tax for exporters is being compensated in their region. To this end, it requires the governors, together with representatives of the State Treasury and the State Tax Administration, to hold meetings with local businessmen engaged in exports.
