A trial program for electronic industrial fishing has been initiated in Ukraine. The press service of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy reported this.
The Cabinet of Ministers [Ukraine’s government – ed.] adopted resolution No. 1076, “On the implementation of an experimental project on the introduction of the declaration of the right to commercial fishing and experimental fishing in electronic form.”
The department explained that the “Ye-Ryba” [ “fish” in Ukrainian – ed.] service will be launched in Ukraine, where business entities that catch fish on an industrial scale must submit electronic declarations.
From now on, fishing operators who plan to fish on an industrial scale or carry out experimental fishing must declare their right to do so every year by November 1 by submitting a corresponding electronic declaration.
The corresponding electronic document must be created, signed, and submitted automatically to the Unified State Electronic Management System of the Fisheries Industry “Ye-Ryba.”
Through the declaration, commercial fishermen will have to automatically enter into the electronic system information about:
- enterprise;
- fishing vessels, their characteristics;
- fishing gear;
- fishing grounds.
The implementation of the experimental project will last for two years and will ensure:
- reduction of the administrative burden on fisheries subjects by simplifying the procedure for obtaining permit documents;
- introduction of the possibility of providing/receiving administrative and other services of the fishery industry in electronic form;
- minimization of corruption risks.
The start of the “Ye-Ryba” system will be announced on the information resources of the State Fisheries Agency.
