Regulated economic activity to be reviewed
Synthesis:
-
In the current state of the law, seven types of economic activity are subject to the obligation to obtain a license, about 40 to a permit, 25 types of activity are subject to the obligation to be entered in the register of regulated activities;
-
The legislator is not acting in a coherent manner - it is difficult to consider the activity of operating gambling casinos as crucial from the perspective of state security or the one of operating an animal shelter as not having the possibility of a lighter regulation than the requirement of a license;
-
The last significant liberalization in the area of the legal-administrative rationing of economic activity took place in 1999. Despite earlier assumptions, envisaged, among others, in the explanatory memorandum to the Act on Freedom of Economic Activity of 2004, no significant liberalization of regulations has taken place since then, and no significant changes in this area have been introduced for approximately a decade.
We believe that especially in this difficult period, entrepreneurs need deregulation that will increase their flexibility in adapting to new economic conditions. Therefore, we are looking for solutions that will help to unleash the potential of entrepreneurs. In order to find the most harmful for entrepreneurs regulations and to show the benefits of deregulation for growth after the crisis, we have launched a portal www.deregulacja.pl.
