Ukraine: Moratorium on state inspections extended until 31 December 2017

LawNo. 1728-VIII of 3 November 2016 extends the moratorium on scheduled state inspections of organisations by state authorities until 31 December 2017. The moratorium means that no organization is to be subject to any scheduled state inspection (e.g. checking compliance with environmental, occupational safety or another legislation). However, the moratorim does not apply to non-scheduled inspections of organisations. An organization may be subject to a non-scheduled state inspection if, for example:

  • A court decision was issued requiring such an inspection; 
  • A lethal occupational accident takes place in an organisation; etc.
