The bill (Reg.No.11090) suggests
determining that in case there are no primary standards, the status of state
standards can be granted to the secondary standards of enterprises pertaining
to the management of the Central body of executive power in the sphere of
metrology (ЦОВМ). It is possible to certify and
draw results in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, regions, the cities of Kyiv
and Sevastopol, in the cities of regional importance that are basic reference
standard of Ukraine but disputes regarding authority and certifying are settled
by ЦОВМ, in the order determined by the
Cabinet of Ministers.
It is
suggested to amend laws "On Metrology and Metrological Activity", "On Main
Principles of State Supervision (Control) of Economic Activity", "On
Consumer Rights Protection" and the Code of Ukraine on Administrative
Infringements (particularly article171 of the Code).
The
Committee members upheld the legislative initiative, noting, however, that it
needs significant reconsideration, taking into account remarks mentioned in the
conclusion by the Central Scientific Experts Office of the Verkhovna Rada of
Ukraine Secretariat.
