The draft of the Subsoil Codex of Ukraine was developed to bring Ukraine's legislation into the field of subsoil use with the requirements of framework legislative acts, as well as eliminate the double administrative burden on business and abolish mechanisms and tools that lead to the possibility of corruption factors.

Ukrainian Geological Survey is ready to take responsibility and prepare the final text of the Codex and submit it to European partners for approval in order to speed up the process of completing the relevant draft law, work on which has been suspended, reports the agency's press service.

At the meeting of the working group on the development of the concept of the new Subsoil Codex, which was held at the Ministry of Energy and Ecology and Environment Protection of Ukraine on January 23, it was decided that all secondary geological information should be free and available online, and special permits for the use of subsoil will be allowed to be sold in whole or in part. This was reported by the Ukrainian Geological Survey press service.
