The Cabinet of Ministers clarified the powers of local authorities in booking employees

At a meeting on July 14, the Cabinet of Ministers amended the procedure for determining enterprises whose employees may be reserved from mobilization. This was reported in Resolution No. 847, published on government website.

Until now, businesses could apply to both central authorities and local administrations without a clear distinction of powers.

The new order establishes that central authorities determine critically important enterprises in the sectors of the national economy for which they are responsible.

Local administrations will have authority over municipally owned enterprises and enterprises in eight specific sectors within their territory. These are agriculture, forestry and fisheries, mining and processing industries, electricity, gas and water supply, construction, trade and repair of motor vehicles, and transport and logistics.

Local administrations have been given a month to revise the criteria in accordance with the new changes.
