There will be amendments to the legislation on advertising

05.07.2017

Entrepreneurs working in this sphere have been repeatedly drawn attention of people's representatives to the need to improve legislation in the sphere of advertising. Advertising distributors face difficulties in placing outdoor advertising in the performance of their activities. The procedure for issuing permits, the terms for which they are issued, are approved by the local authorities, and therefore differ in different cities of the republic. The author of amendments in the law "On Advertising" Viktor Guzun considers it necessary to introduce a unified approach. It is proposed to prescribe the procedure for preparing and issuing permission for the placement of the object of advertising, the "registry of objects of outdoor advertising" parameter, as well as how to issue a technical passport. In addition to the basic law, amendments will affect the law "On the basis of the tax system in PMR", the Land Code. According to the current legislation, entrepreneurs are forced to renew their technical passport and permission to distribute outdoor advertising annually. The legislator proposes to issue the technical passport indefinitely, and charge for the distribution of outdoor advertising based on the period of its actual placement.

Parliamentarians supported a package of legislations reforming the sphere of outdoor advertising. By the decision of the deputy corps, the legislations will be considered in the second reading at the plenary session July 12.
