Resolution No. 303 of 13 March 2022<\/a>, which suspended state supervision activities during martial law.<\/p>\nTo recall, Resolution No. 303 was adopted at the beginning of the full-scale invasion and provided for the suspension of both scheduled and unscheduled inspections of businesses for the duration of martial law. This decision significantly reduced the regulatory burden on businesses.<\/p>\n
However, despite companies\u2019 efforts to adapt to the new circumstances, the business environment remains challenging and unstable, particularly in front-line and war-affected regions.<\/p>\n
The proposed amendments to Resolution No. 303 would lift the moratorium on inspections by the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection (SSUFSCP) concerning compliance with legislation in the areas of food safety, veterinary medicine, animal health and welfare, and related fields. This would effectively mean a return to both scheduled and unscheduled inspections even during martial law.<\/p>\n
According to EBA member companies, such a decision could have a number of negative consequences, from increased administrative pressure and financial burden on businesses to heightened corruption risks. At a time when businesses are already operating under restrictions due to disrupted logistics chains, labour shortages, reduced consumer purchasing power, and destroyed infrastructure, reinstating inspections appears unjustified.<\/p>\n
Moreover, available data does not indicate a critical need to resume these inspections. According to the SSUFSCP, nearly 9,000 unscheduled inspections were conducted in 2024, the vast majority of which were initiated by the market operators themselves. Violations were found in only 20.5% of cases, significantly lower than in 2019 (40.8%). This trend may indicate improved internal controls within companies and a more responsible approach to compliance.<\/p>\n
Therefore, the EBA urges the Government not to support the proposed amendments to Resolution No. 303 regarding the reinstatement of SSUFSCP inspections.<\/p>\n
The EBA has addressed an official letter to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andrii Yermak, First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine, Yuliia Svyrydenko, Minister of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine, Oleksii Sobolev, and Head of the State Regulatory Service of Ukraine, Oleksii Kucher.<\/p>\n
