Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) - A number of entrepreneurs operating in the field of restaurant business and catering have approached the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Uzbekistan with a request to assist in taking anti-crisis measures to support this industry.
CCI experts sent a working note to the Presidential Administration, which proposes a number of necessary and urgent measures to support the restaurant business and catering, which have found themselves in a difficult situation due to the coronavirus and the stricter rules of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Agency for Sanitary and Epidemiological Welfare, and also the State Inspection of Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
On 8 July, during a video conference, the President of the country emphasized that entrepreneurs are faced with incomprehensible and contradictory requirements from the sanitary and fire safety authorities, hiding behind quarantine requirements and instructed to revise the current procedures and clearly explain the procedure for working in the media and social networks.
Based on the results of the proposals submitted to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the involved ministries and departments prepared a draft Presidential Decree, according to which, in order to support entrepreneurship, in particular catering, the following measures will be taken by the end of 2020:
- extension of a number of tax incentives;
- an increase in the staff of hired employees;
- introduction of the procedure for placing public catering summer terraces in the adjacent territories;
- extension of the time of the catering and other entertainment establishments up to 24 hours and others.
At present, the draft Decree is being finalized taking into account the proposals of entrepreneurs and the working group of public expertise of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
