Legal regulation issues addressed by Belarus President

Legal issues were at the center of attention in the Palace of Independence today. The Civil Code (the fundamental document, which is often called the economic constitution) has become obsolete. It has not been systematically revised since its adoption. The adjustments are needed, based on the demand of the time. It is assumed that the innovations will affect many areas, including labor and banking. They worked on the document for more than a year and the public was involved. The time has come to revise the institution of administrative procedures, which is a mirror of relations between the state and society, an indicator of mood and confidence in the authorities. Operational efficiency, information accessibility and de-bureaucratization are given a high priority.

The President demands that any innovations were verified and thought out, corresponded to our values and principles, and did not pose any threats. The main thing is that people who have to live by the accepted rules should be ready for the changes. The today's meeting is the first step to the upcoming big work on the revision of administrative procedures and their transfer to the electronic space.

Toda, the President also instructed the Council of the Republic to conduct a final expert examination of legislative acts before they are submitted to the head of state for signing. There are experienced people in the upper house of parliament. Therefore, we need to create a team of good lawyers, philosophers, legal scholars who will examine the most important documents for their relevance to life, as Alexander Lukashenko said.
