Kiev. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – December 30, 2020 – Economy
In Ukraine, fines may be introduced for obstructing or failing to audit roads. The Cabinet of Ministers has submitted a corresponding bill №4551 to the Verkhovna Rada.
Failure to ensure audit and / or inspection of road safety, if they are mandatory in accordance with the requirements of regulations, norms and rules, want to be punished with a fine of 100 non-taxable minimum incomes of citizens (1,700 hryvnia).
If the lack of audit caused damage to vehicles, cargo, roads, streets, level crossings, road structures or other property, this will be punished with a penalty of 150 such minimums (UAH 2,550).
Obstructing road safety audits and inspections entails a fine for citizens from two to five non-taxable minimum incomes of citizens and a warning or fine for officials in the amount of three to five such minimums.
The law on road safety audit came into force last year. The document introduced the concept of economic costs in connection with injury or death as a result of road traffic accidents.
