“The government will extend for another 12 months the validity of a number of licenses and permits that will expire this year,” Mishustin said.
He said that "the corresponding resolution has been prepared."
According to the prime minister, "such a support measure has shown its effectiveness during the spread of the coronavirus."
The head of government said that "the validity periods of more than 41 thousand licenses and over 1 million other permits were postponed," which allowed "first of all to protect people's health, and business to reduce the cost of re-issuing documents and continue its work."
He added that this time the measure of "licenses automatically" will affect about ten areas.
