Receiving a permit does not mean the end of state control: the permit-issuing authority monitors compliance with the permit conditions and, in case of violation, applies the full arsenal of liability — from fines to suspension and cancellation of the permit. On this page you will see how this system works, what timelines and guarantees the permit holder has, and how decisions of the issuing authority can be appealed.
Rights and Duties of the Permit Issuer
The permit-issuing authority issues permits in the cases and by the procedure established by law, modifies them, or cancels them. It maintains the departmental permit registry, keeps the documentation submitted by the permit seeker, and exercises, in the manner established by law, control over compliance with the permit conditions.
For transparency, the issuing authority publishes, within 10 days of adopting a decision, information on the issuance, modification, or cancellation of a permit issued through a simplified administrative proceeding. Information on a permit containing personal data or state and commercial secrets is published in the manner established by the General Administrative Code and the law on personal data protection.
Liability for Violation of Permit Conditions
The permit holder's failure to fulfill the permit conditions established by law entails a fine under the procedure established by legislation; the amount of the fine is determined by law. When imposing a fine, the issuing authority sets a reasonable period for satisfying the permit conditions and establishes the conditions whose observance is necessary for carrying out the specific action.
Despite the imposition of liability, failure to fulfill the permit conditions within the established period entails the tripling of the imposed fine — except for certain permits connected with gambling games, for which the law applies a special rule. After the expiry of the period following the imposition of the tripled fine, if the conditions are still not satisfied, the imposed fine is tripled again. If all these measures still do not secure fulfillment, the issuing authority decides to cancel the permit, and the decision must substantiate the necessity of this form of liability.
A special rule also operates for gambling-related permits: despite the imposition of the relevant fine, the issuing authority decides to cancel the permit if the conditions are not fulfilled; and when a permit for organizing a casino or a hall of gaming machines is cancelled, the permit for organizing a gambling club issued on its basis is cancelled as well.
