The document contains amendments to the horizontal legislation in the field of state control. Among other things, it expands the scope of application of the law, adjusts the powers of inspection bodies in accordance with the areas of state control, introduces counter-examinations of inspectors for the application of measures and sanctions not expressly provided for by the law, and introduces many other provisions useful for the business community. The amendments are aimed at reducing the sanction risks for companies and the compliance burden in the process of state control. Experts estimate that the package could result in annual savings of 71 million lei for entrepreneurs. The amendments were promoted by the Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalisation with the support of the Secretariat of the Economic Council and the USAID/MISRA project.
