About the work done to protect the rights of entrepreneurs

On behalf of the country's leadership, since September 4, 2021, the supervision of the prosecutor's office has been reoriented to effectively solve business problems.

The success of this work depends on efficiency.

After all, timely assistance helps to avoid business-sensitive losses.

For this purpose, 25 specialized mobile groups of transport prosecutor's offices operate 24/7.

Experienced employees handle every complaint of entrepreneurs throughout the country.

As a result, they began to contact us more often. There is a 65% increase in applications.

Comprehensive work has protected the rights of more than 16 thousand business entities.

This is an exemption from fines of 30 million tenge, the introduction of a compensating tariff for 3 thousand entrepreneurs, the prevention of 88 illegal inspections, the cancellation of 4 legal acts.

For example, the order of the Minister of Industry was canceled, which allowed bypassing the moratorium of the Head of State to check small businesses in the field of road, rail and water transport.

Also, according to our protest, norms that illegally granted the right to conduct inspections at the border with the EurAsEC countries were excluded from the order of the chairman of the State Revenue Committee.

17 owners of large access roads with obvious signs of a monopoly position were identified.

By order of the Antimonopoly Authority, all of them are included in the state register of subjects of natural monopolies.

Each of them paid an administrative fine in the amount of more than 1.5 million tenge.

One of the main owners of access roads JSC "CTS" forced its counterparties to buy locomotive traction services from its affiliated enterprise in the Kostanay and Aktobe regions.

As of today, the corresponding requirement has been excluded from the monopolist's model contract.

The most important thing is still the initiation of criminal prosecution.

There were questions about the investigation of transit goods en route to third countries.

To do this, we have developed a unified investigative practice in relation to the false declaration of such goods.

Such actions do not cause damage to our country, foreign cargo carriers were actually unnecessarily involved in the criminal process.

Therefore, an agreed decision was made to exclude criminal prosecution for such facts.

As of today, all initiated cases regarding "external transit" cargo have been terminated.

At the same time, it was instructed to strengthen control over their movement within the country. The goal is to prevent "false transit".

Our proposal to exclude criminal liability for smuggling in "external transit" from the Regulatory Decision of the Supreme Court was supported by the Prosecutor General's Office.

Work in this direction continues.
