MINSK (
BelTA) – Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko has signed a law on the state registration and liquidation (termination of activities) of commercial entities in order to improve these procedures, the press service of the Belarusian leader told BelTA.
For instance, the law stipulates a procedure for the state registration of a legal person operating on the basis of a standard charter. The legal person no longer needs to obtain a certificate of state registration.
At the same time, the state registration of new commercial entities is restricted with regard to legal persons and self-employed businessmen if they have arrears in the payment of wages and remunerations.
In cases where the reorganization of a legal person is recognized as invalid and its former status gets restored, the institution of external management is introduced.
Apart from that, the law simultaneously amends a number of other legal documents (6 codes and 23 laws), including taking into account the adoption of the Civil Procedure Code, changes in civil legislation, including matters of entrepreneurial activity.
