Kommersant: Importers shorten

Economy Ministry has proposed to halve the term of the settlement of import transactions without the importation of goods into Ukraine - transactions in which Ukrainian companies to buy goods abroad for the purpose of resale in other countries. If now, a time limit for payment is 180 days after approval of changes in the Cabinet decision number 1392 and number 1409 dated 2007, published yesterday in the Ministry"s website, their period is 90 days.

In the explanatory memorandum noted that the reduction in payment due date entry into force of the Law № 1533-VI from 24 November 2009, which reduced from 180 to 90 days recovery time of export earnings. The note indicates that the decrease in the period under import contracts, helps to prevent the illegal outflow of currency abroad. In 2008, according to the State Tax Administration, under these contracts is derived $ 2.7 billion

In the department of state control and regulation of foreign economic activities of the Ministry of Economy reported that the illegal withdrawal of capital from the country of import, without delivering the goods almost never used. "For these operations are necessary conclusions of the Ministry of Economy, and therefore the output is used to shadow other schemes", - explained the source, who wished to remain anonymous. He also clarified that the ministry is ready to abandon the initiative because of the loss of its relevance. "The law (№ 1533-VI .- Ed.) Was developed in late 2008, when the threat of the outflow of foreign currency effect on economic stability. There is no such threat, and the Ministry of Economy supports the return of the old rules for a period of 180 days," - said the source. Return to 180-day deadline contained in the bill number 5378 deputies Yuri Poluneeva (BYT) and Sergei Klyueva (Party of Regions). "The tightening of the conditions of the settlement of foreign exchange contracts was necessary in the period of acute crisis. And now the situation is favorable for the economy, and such restrictions seem inappropriate," - declared Mr. Poluneyev. According to him, in December, the project has already passed first reading, and the second is expected in February.

While the law is not adopted, reducing the timing of payments will hit business, I"m sure the president of the Ukrainian National Committee of the International Chamber of Commerce Volodymyr Shchelkunov: "Realization of a very large number of contracts will not allow businessmen to invest in the 90-day period. Number of requests to the Ministry of Economy to the extension of the end payments will increase many times, and this extra trouble. In addition, it will put the business in an unequal position: someone will be able to negotiate with the Ministry of Economy of the extension, and someone - no. "
