Lukashenka to meet Minsk entrepreneurs

Alyaksandr Lukashenka will meet entrepreneurs in Minsk trade centre Expobel on March 17, BelaPAN reports quoting the association of entrepreneurs Perspectiva. 

Entrepreneurs have been asked to come to work at 7 a.m. The meeting will be held in the first floor. No Perspectiva representatives have been invited.  

Entrepreneurs are worried about changes in the legislation. They are being made to sell light industry goods with certificates of the Customs Union. The norm had to come into force on March 1. However, the Ministry of Trade delayed it at the last moment.

The President’s Administration is preparing a new law that will control private entrepreneurs. They will be allowed to work without certificates but their fixed value added tax will be increased in exchange for it.

Lukashenka met private entrepreneurs 10 years ago. He visited the market Maximus in the microdistrict Malinauka on March 10, 2005.
