The Government proposes relevant amendments to Law 121/2007 on the management and privatization of state property. The amendments provide for clearer rules for accounting of state assets and unified criteria for their sale and use. As well as stricter control and coordination mechanisms in the administration of state property at local and national levels.
As APS Director Roman Kozhukhar noted for Logos Press, the package of proposals prepared by the agency is aimed at creating conditions for more efficient operation of state-owned enterprises. The aim of the proposed measures is to remove at least part of the excessive regulation and bureaucratization. The head of the APS explains that even vacation or business trip permits must be requested by each state enterprise from the agency.
Some of the changes concern the removal of existing restrictions at the level of state property administration. Thus, it is proposed to cancel the current thresholds that hinder the leasing of administrative and production space. For example, a state-owned enterprise could lease premises of 20-30 square meters through an auction and without mandatory coordination with the agency.
Another change concerns the leasing of agricultural land. Today, the legislation limits the lease period to five years, which is not enough time to grow a vineyard or an orchard. Therefore, it is proposed to extend this period. Especially since small areas of 5-10 hectares, which are difficult to access, are not suitable for sowing cereals.
