A separate segment of the meeting was devoted to discussing the launch of the Register of Kazakhstani Manufacturers. Marat Musin, manager of the Association of Kazakhstan Machinery Industry, who also participates in the work of the Industry Commission on Machine Building, presented the information.
According to the Ministry of Industry and Construction, more than 800 applications have been accepted for review to date. However, the functionality for justifying rejections of applications is still being finalized, which requires further coordination with the authorized body.
“We are noting a large number of comments regarding the submitted documentation, particularly regarding the completeness of the document package and video recording of the production process. These issues require methodological clarification and fine-tuning of procedures,” noted Marat Musin.
The meeting participants emphasized the need to improve the Registry’s operational mechanisms in order to reduce the administrative burden on businesses and ensure the transparency of procedures.
The Association of Kazakhstan Machinery Industry expressed its readiness to continue working with the authorized body and the industry community to refine the Registry’s procedures and create a tool that is as transparent and user-friendly as possible for domestic manufacturers.
