Inspections of micro-enterprises could last up to 12 working days per year.

The smallest businesses could be subject to inspections lasting up to 12working days annually. Entrepreneurs were often not informed in advanceabout the documents they would need to provide, creating additionaladministrative and organizational burdens.

 

What has changed?

Inspection periods have been reduced and procedures made morepredictable.

The maximum annual inspection time for micro-enterprises has beenreduced from 12 to 6 working days. Authorities are now required to providea list of requested documents in advance, and additional limits have beenintroduced to reduce the frequency of inspections.

 

Who benefits?
