Скачать или смотреть The UDP Rejects GOB's Trade Licensing Bill; Minister of Labor says changes will be made.

On Friday, the Briceno Administration introduced a bill to repeal the Trade Licensing Act to allow for the implementation of a reformed trade license regime. The draft piece of legislation, which has only been tabled for its first reading, will expand the list of working professionals who will be required to obtain a trade license to do business. Over the weekend, details of the bill made their rounds on social media and attracted a slew of complaints and criticisms from the public. Reporter Vejea Alvarez reports.

As you heard, the trade licensing legislation was in the making for the past years. That would mean it began under the previous UDP Government. And while that is so, the UDP today is setting the record straight. In a late evening press release, the UDP says that (quote) “This Black Friday Bill was written by technocrats years ago, in an exercise that started as far back as 2014, but vehemently rejected by the UDP Cabinet. The position of the UDP then as is the position now is no bill that seeks to punish the entrepreneurial spirit of the least fortunate among us should be entertained by those seeking to improve lives.” (end of quote)
