At a meeting with the Business Ombudsman, which was held with participation of the Akimat and the Regional Prosecutor's Office, as well as Business and Trade Department, entrepreneurs of the Mangistau region spoke about their problems.

One of the crucial issues is land. Businessmen complained on the lack of access to land, according to them, the local authorities often refuse them to get a land plot and deny to change the purpose of a land plot.

There a lot of violations in this regard. The regulations of public services in land relations are not observed at all times, during the issuance of land plots public authorities often impose unreasonable demands. There are no projects of detailed planning of settlements and the possibility of amending the approved projects of detailed planning, which creates high administrative barriers for entrepreneurs. Often prolong the term of consideration of applications on obtaining, extension of the land use rights for a land plot. As a result, entrepreneurs bear enormous costs.

Other pressing problems, which prevent doing business in the region, were also discussed during the meeting. In fact, they are identical to those in other regions of the country.

As it was noted on this occasion by the Business Ombudsman, it is important to ensure interaction between business and the state, entrepreneurs need to be part of various state commissions.

"Currently, the working groups operate with supervising public authorities, which includes experts of NCE. So, it is necessary to include entrepreneurs in all commissions, so they are always aware of everything. That is the lack of information - the main scourge of our problems", - said Bolat Palymbetov.

Entrepreneurs were able to share their personal problems, arising in the course of doing business, during a personal meeting with the Business Ombudsman. Clarifications and consulting were presented for some issues, other issues were taken for further study and resolution.

In general, a thorough, constructive dialogue with entrepreneurs, has taken place.
