Repeated appeals also include appeals from the same person (group of persons) on the same issue, if the first one has been decided on the merits;

3. Entry in the register
Boys between the ages of 16 to 25, who live in Ukraine and apply for ID, will be entered into the Unified State Register of Conscripts, Pesons Liable for Military Service and Reservists (Register) without passing the MMC.

The draft law is aimed at improving patients' access to medicines, which are purchased with budget funds by the State Enterprise "Medical Procurement of Ukraine" for the implementation of programs and implementation of centralized health care measures .
The draft Law proposes to amend Articles 2 and 9 of the Law of Ukraine "On Medicinal Products" in terms of clarifying the definition of the State Register of Medicinal Products and the list of information entered into it, by harmonizing them with the requirements of the Law of Ukraine "On Public Electronic Registers", and introducing amendments to Article 91 of the Law of Ukraine "On Medicinal Products", which will allow to improve the approaches to the existing procedures of simplified state registration of medicinal products that can be purchased by SE Medical Procurement of Ukraine, in particular, by introducing the possibility of state registration according to the simplified procedure of medicinal products that are registered by a competent authority of Great Britain, a member state of the European Union, or included in the database of drugs that can be purchased under the President's Emergency Plan for providing assistance in the fight against HIV, posted on the official website of the competent authority of the USA (PEPFAR list), or included in the lists drugs or vaccines prequalified by the WHO and are produced at the production site specified in the WHO list.

Information (notification) about the consideration of the complaint materials by the supervisory body is sent to the taxpayer electronically in the electronic cabinet.
The lack of proper notification of the date, time and place/method of consideration of the complaint by the persons specified in item 5 of Section I of the Procedure does not prevent consideration of complaint materials.
The procedure for handling complaints of non-residents has also been specified. In a complaint, a non-resident person registered as a VAT payer has the right to state their desire to be present in person or through a representative during the review of the complaint, including via video conference, and the supervisory body is obliged to inform such a non-resident person of the date, time and the place / method of consideration of a complaint no later than 10 calendar days before the date of consideration of such a complaint by sending the relevant document in electronic form through a special portal for non-resident users who provide electronic services and to the e-mail address (addresses) of the non-resident person.
If necessary, the non-resident person ensures the presence of an interpreter during the review of complaint materials (including during a video conference).
The absence of the non-resident person notified of the date, time and place / method of consideration of the complaint does not prevent consideration of complaint materials.
The order will enter into force from the day of its official publication. At the time of preparation of this material, the document has not been published.
