The bill (Reg. No.5497) was drafted to secure effective State regulation of amber extraction in Ukraine. The bill alleviated the procedure for obtaining special permits for using mineral resources to extract cob amber from the non-industrial fields and developments in Prypiat succiniferous district.
The bill amends the Law "On State Regulation of Extraction, Production and Use of Precious Metals and Supervision over the Operations with them" and the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
The bill envisages free use of succiniferous resources in the non-industrial fields and developments, as well as extraction of amber cob at the land plots in the ownership of the citizens performing the extraction.
The economic activity of legal entities, individual entrepreneurs and citizens connected with the extraction of amber cob, procession and manufacture of products from amber cod and sale of products from amber cod is not subject to licensing. The bill includes regulations concerning violation of rules of extraction, transportation and sale of amber.
