In Ukraine, the receipt of electronic public services is automated
On July 22, the Law “On Peculiarities of Providing Electronic Public Services” was adopted and sent to the President for signature. From now on, most documents on the interaction of citizens with the state will be stored in state registers and databases.

Changes in agricultural insurance
Previously, only those insurers who had the appropriate license and were a member of the Agrarian Insurance Pool, an association of insurers, could insure agricultural products. As the pool did not start working properly, the new version of the law eliminated the requirement for membership in the pool.
Now you only need a license to insure agricultural products.
The changes also added mandatory requirements to the contract of insurance of agricultural products with state support:
- determined the subject of insurance: crops, perennials and their crops, animals, income from sales;
- established insurance risks: provided by law (hail, storm, drought, earthquake) and others specified in the contract;
- provided that can not be the subject of the contract: sick plants and animals.
We remind you that the right to state support have agricultural producers - a natural or legal person, a natural person-entrepreneur engaged in the production of agricultural products, processing of own products and its sale.
The procedure for receiving state support has not yet been determined, the Cabinet of Ministers must establish it by October 24, 2021.
