By KYIV. May 12 (Interfax-Ukraine) – During martial law, businesses can carry out economic activities on a declarative basis without obtaining conclusion from the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection.
This was announced by the European Business Association (EBA), referring to the official response of the service to the request of the EBA.
"This week, the association received an official letter from the service, which states that business entities can carry out economic activities under martial law on a declarative basis by submitting a declaration on economic activities to the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine without obtaining a conclusion," the EBA reports.
In addition, the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection confirmed that the period of validity of permits, including its conclusions, is automatically extended for the period of martial law.
The EBA notes that the introduction of martial law and hostilities on the territory of the state have significantly complicated, and in some places made it impossible for entrepreneurs to obtain a number of permits.
The matter concerns, for example, the conclusions of the state sanitary and epidemiological expertise, the receipt of which was a necessary condition for the sale of many types of goods, including critical ones for consumers, such as hygiene products, baby food, detergents, cosmetics, certain food products, equipment, and others.
