The government adopted the Bill on Central Registry of temporary restrictions on the rights of persons registered in the Business Registers Agency (APR), which prevents financial crime.
This bill regulates the formation and termination of temporary restrictions on the right to provide economic and other activities for persons who abuse the right of setting up a company, by registering a new business, leaving it with problems, then opening a new one and transferring business on it.
