Re: {UAH} This is the reconstructed New Taxi Park which will be launched today.

Hannah,



Does an entrepreneur need a licence to import sugar? I thought they

would allow the free trade mantra of competitive markets to prevail:

ie let sugar importers compete and the market eventually will

determine the actual price of sugar as a result of the competition. By

regulating the allocation of import licences, the door is opened wide

open for acorruption and abuse of office and the artificial

manipulation of the market by interrupting the chains and patterns of

supply. Licensing can only make sense if itt is a tarriff measure to

protect local sugar production from unfair competition and also to

protect quality and health and safety standards.
