Belarusians were told why, when applying to the “one-stop shop” service, specialists may not accept the application or refuse to carry out the administrative procedure.
According to Deputy Head of the Ministry of Justice Valentina Yakimovich, the reasons may be different.
Within the framework of the law on administrative procedures, the grounds for refusal are clearly regulated, both classical and the most general, Belta quotes the agency’s representative as saying.
Documents and criteria
She explained that a refusal may occur if the necessary documents are not provided or if they are invalid.
Other reasons for refusal are stipulated by legislative acts and government regulations.
The authorized body cannot arbitrarily, for some of its own reasons, refuse to carry out the administrative procedure, added Yakimovich.
She said there are specific procedures that may be refused if the applicant does not meet certain criteria.
One of these is registration as a person in need – to do this, you need to meet all the necessary requirements.
If at least one of the conditions is not met, grounds for refusal arise.
At the same time, the official noted, the refusal to accept an application can be appealed to a higher authority (the executive committee).
If a person does not achieve an acceptable result there, then he will have to go to court.
Regions
In some regions there are statistics on refusals. For example, in the Gomel region their number is less than one percent.
Of this percentage, a tenth is refusals to accept applications, the rest is refusals to carry out administrative procedures, said Andrey Gurzhiy, First Deputy Head of the Main Justice Department of the Gomel Regional Executive Committee.
He pointed out the fact that all refusals are justified. For example, registration of those in need is often refused because the applicants are not in need.
The largest number of refusals in the Gomel region is the allocation of rental housing.
The deputy head said that up to 20 applications can be submitted for one apartment.
Naturally, only one person will receive rental housing – the one in need and the one who got on the waiting list earlier. Accordingly, everyone else will be denied this housing, he explained.
Slightly more refusals were recorded in the Mogilev region – just under 5%.
Last year, local one-stop services accepted over 136,000 applications – 6,255 times administrative procedures were refused.
According to the head of the main justice department of the Mogilev regional executive committee, Andrei Stolyarov, the refusals were mainly due to non-compliance with the requirements of the administrative procedure.
