One of the most remarkable pieces of presidential legislation this year entered into force on November 13. It is an edict, #520, on "improving legal regulations for selected economic relations," which Alyaksandr Lukashenka signed ten days earlier. The document is designed to develop and specify provisions of Presidential Edict #418, dated October 17, 2005, "On Improving the Procedure of Exempting Business Entities from Economic Accountability."
