  • The emphasis will be on notification procedures instead of control and punitive measures, with “soft support” provided at all stages of the enterprise’s life cycle.
  • Administrative liability for late reporting will be excluded, and inactive individual entrepreneurs will be closed after 1 year with appropriate notification.
  • The “one-stop shop” principle will be used to close legal entities, requiring only an application to the justice authorities.
