The discussion about the pressure of regulatory bodies on business has been transferred to the plane of numbers and data.
The head of the President's Office, Andrii Yermak, announced this on the Telegram channel, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
"I am glad that the discussion about the pressure of regulatory bodies on business will finally be transferred to the plane of numbers and data, and not posts on social networks," he said.
Yermak said that he took part in the presentation of the dashboard with data from the Unified Register of Pretrial Investigations (URPI) on business proceedings.
The dashboard contains data on the number of registered, stopped, restored or closed offenses and the number of persons who were served notices of suspicion, applied preventive measures against them, removed from their positions, as well as the amount of damages caused to the state and their compensation.
Yermak noted that access to it is open to everyone.
He reminded that in January, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy instructed to protect business from possible abuses by law enforcement agencies. One of the directions of this work was the development of a dashboard for the URPI.
The Office of the President, the Prosecutor General’s Office, the Ministry of Digital Transformation, the Ministry of Justice, the State Judicial Administration and the Presidential Office’s Council for Support of Entrepreneurship under Martial Law worked on its implementation.
"This is a response to the requests of society, business and investors who want to see justice and integrity in the activities of law enforcement officers," Yermak said.
During the presentation of the dashboard, Prosecutor General Andrii Kostin said that in the future they plan to add even more information to the dashboard, and to extend the tool itself to other types of criminal offenses.
Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov added that in the coming months, the operation of the dashboard will be studied and user feedback will be collected for improvement.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, in mid-July the Cabinet of Ministers approved bills proposing to raise taxes by a total of UAH 140 billion by the end of the year, and to increase spending on defense and security forces by UAH 495.3 billion. The Council of the Business Ombudsman believes that bill No. 11416 on increasing taxes creates conditions for disproportionate pressure on conscientious businesses and employees.
In June, the Verkhovna Rada approved the law on the so-called white business club. The document provides that if an entrepreneur meets simple and transparent criteria regarding the level of tax payment above the industry average and provides a salary level higher than the industry average, tax control in the form of audits is not carried out.
