KYIV. Dec 15 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The procedure for issuing a production license should be relaxed for wine makers, Director of the horticulture and viticulture department of the Agricultural Policy and Food Ministry of Ukraine Viktor Kostenko has said.

“We ask the Cabinet of Ministers to create a working group consisting of representatives of all agencies involved in the issue of production licenses,” he said at the National Winemaking Forum.

He said that the license issue should be relaxed for wine makers, depending on their size.

Kostenko said that the State Fiscal Service demands only seven documents for receiving the license, while around 134 documents in six different agencies are to be collected to get them.
