Groysman urges public to support govt in fight against smuggling

Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman has called on the public, in particular, business associations to support the government's position in the fight against smuggling.

"We as a government, I as a prime minister, need public support in this struggle. I appeal to legal, honest business, "white" importers: we need your support," he said at a government meeting.

"I urge you, Myroslav Vasiliovych: more meetings with businesses, business associations, more dialogue," he said, referring to Acting Head of the State Fiscal Service Myroslav Prodan.

The premier also noted that Acting Minister of Finance Oksana Markarova is engaged in the reform of the State Fiscal Service.

"I think that a vision will soon be presented how to create an effective system for the future," he said.

Prodan said, when presenting the results of work of the agency, as of August 29 the customs system fulfilled the target of revenues to the national budget for August. At the same time, in comparison with the indicators of the previous year, the expected plan in the current year was increased by 30%, he said.
