Based on the results of the study, proposals were initiated to strengthen the protection of business, amendments to the legislation providing for criminal liability for restricting the rights and legitimate interests of entrepreneurs were prepared.
In particular, it is proposed to tighten responsibility for violations of the procedure for conducting inspections, unlawful refusal to issue a special permit (license), illegal suspension of activities and (or) operations on a bank account, illegal involvement in charity, as well as unlawful refusal or application of benefits and preferences. These amendments were fully supported and introduced into the Criminal Code.
