Government eases business rules for pharmacies, waste, transport and rural tourism

MDL 36.6 million a year is what passenger carriers will save now that yellow licence plates are no longer mandatory.

The government approved a package that cuts red tape and administrative costs in passenger transport, pharmacies, waste management, rural tourism and agriculture. The measures were drafted with the business community under the 2025–2027 Growth Plan.

• Transport: yellow plates will be replaced with white ones over a 3-month transition; tickets and receipts no longer need the vehicle number and seat number.
• Pharmacies: no separate office for the manager is required; pharmacies may also operate on upper floors of malls, medical facilities, stations and airports.
• Waste: producers handling their own packaging obligations get plan approval and registration in one procedure within 10 working days.
• Rural tourism: guesthouses no longer need a classification certificate for subsidy applications where they can legally operate without one.

What it means for you

• Carriers can plan the plate change and the move to e-tickets.
• Pharmacies looking for premises have more location options.
• Safety and environmental requirements stay in place.
