The new rules are designed to simplify interaction between applicants and the antimonopoly authority. Currently, upon discovering an incomplete set of documents, the agency returns the application without consideration, without notifying the individual of the deficiencies.
How the complaint filing rules will change
According to the proposed amendments to the Law "On Competition," the antimonopoly authority will be required to inform the applicant of identified deficiencies in the documents. Instead of an automatic return, the agency must establish a specific timeframe for correcting errors.
Returning an application without consideration will only be possible in one case—if a citizen or entrepreneur fails to correct the errors within the established period. The explanatory note to the document states that the current procedure creates unnecessary bureaucratic barriers, as even minor errors force people to prepare a new set of papers and waste time.
The initiative's developers emphasize that such measures will help increase the transparency of the state body's work and ensure a more prompt response to reports of legislative violations. Meanwhile, the requirements for document formatting will remain the same.
