Key Decisions of the Parliament
Simplifying Documentation for Business
The Verkhovna Rada passed a law aimed at reducing the administrative burden on entrepreneurs, particularly by simplifying the processing of primary service-related documents.

This decision is expected to reduce bureaucratic barriers for small and medium-sized businesses.
Enhancing Social Guarantees in Extracurricular Education
The Parliament adopted amendments to the Law “On Extracurricular Education” that expand the financial autonomy of institutions in the area of employee compensation.
Founders of educational institutions are now allowed to establish higher salaries and introduce additional incentives financed from their own revenues.
