On the EcoSystem platform, it is impossible to make technical errors when filling out applications

In Ukraine, 50 entrepreneurs received a certificate on the values ​​of background concentrations of pollutants in the atmospheric air online on the EcoSystem platform.

They spent about 4 minutes to receive the administrative service, which the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources previously provided in 90 days in paper format, the Ministry of Natural Resources reports on Facebook.

The press service explained that the procedure took so long due to the consideration of the application by the regional state administrations, the approval of the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection, postal items, the correction of mechanical errors, etc.

“For now, it’s enough to go to the national platform EcoSystem, fill out the form and immediately generate an automatic entry in the registry and an electronic certificate with a QR code,” the authors emphasized.

They also named other advantages of applying for a certificate online:

  • the entire procedure can be completed from your own gadget at any time;
  • it is impossible to make technical errors when filling out applications;
  • there is no need to verify data from different paper sources;
  • the official does not participate in the consideration of applications;
  • the received electronic document is always "at hand" when it is needed, it cannot be lost or forgotten;
  • if necessary, the certificate can be printed from EcoSystem.

The report also noted that this format for issuing certificates is a pilot project that will last until the end of 2023.
