Problematic issues of regional business were discussed at the reporting meeting with the businessmen of West Kazakhstan region
The agenda included topical issues that face regional businessmen, in particular, there are difficulties with obtaining land plots, property lease of state objects. Another urgent problem is the discrepancy between tariffs for passenger transportation and actual costs of carriers.
To solve the problems of unavailability of land plots it was proposed to conduct auctions on a periodic basis, while suggestion of entrepreneurs on obtaining a particular area should be considered in the formation of the list of lands submitted for auction.
In total there are 444 settlements in WKR (including two cities - Uralsk and Aksai), 246 of which have no general plans. The reason is the lack of budget means for this purpose. Moreover, in 188 settlements of the region, general plans were developed in 70-80 years of last century and do not meet the requirements of urban planning.
These circumstances are grounds for refusal in the provision of land. The change in the existing general plan, and PDD – it is the competence of local executive bodies (LEB). In practice, the provision of land or changes due to non-compliance of the PDD creates conditions for corruption, as LEB (Land Committee, architecture department), force businessmen to give them a reward for the possibility of changing the PDD or granting a land plot and in case of non-compliance of the PDD.
As for the issue of non-compliance of tariffs for passenger transportation with actual costs of carriers, it was proposed to allocate funds to subsidize the costs of losses of carriers or to consider to the increase of tariff to a level that ensures the necessary profitability of the businesses involved in the travel industry.
The Ombudsman for Protection of the Rights of Entrepreneurs of Kazakhstan Bolat Palymbetov stressed that the interaction of business and government is one of the most important factors of sustainable development of the country. Therefore, you need to enable entrepreneurs to do business, if you can’t help, do not bother. And fewer bureaucratic obstacles.
