On April 30, 2016, the reform of the state registration of business and real estate was accomplished. The Minister of Justice Pavlo Petrenko de-monopolized and decentralized the state registration of business and real estate.
Before the reform, the functions of business and real estate registration were performed by the Ministry's 529 regional offices. On May 1, 2016, these functions were transferred to more than 900 local municipal authorities. Currently, the state registration services are also provided by 6,500 notaries and more than 100 certified municipal entities.[9]
As a result of this transfer, lines for obtaining registration services and preconditions for incentive fees disappeared. Local municipal authorities obtain registration fees.
The Ministry of Justice was then left with a supervising function, implemented through the Committee on Consideration of Complaints in the field of state registration.For the time being, the Committee on Consideration of Complaints in state registration prevented more than 150 illegal corporate takeovers.
The next important reform of the Ministry of Justice is decentralization of the system of registration of civil actions, initiated by Pavlo Moroz. The Ministry of Justice has launched this reform and organized the respective working group. The first result is implementation of the pilot project for citizens. Currently it is possible to register a marriage within 24 hours.
Pavlo Moroz is married to Anna Moroz who resides in Israel and together they have a daughter.
