NRA and the Business Constitution
All offices are obliged to respect the principles envisaged by the Business Constitution for dealing with economic operators, including:
- what is not forbidden by law, is allowed,
- presumption of the economic operator's innocence,
- providing information and customer- friendly interpretation of regulations,
- proportionality (the office cannot impose undue burdens on economic operators, e.g. it will not be able to demand the documents the office already has);
- fair competition (fight against economic dysfunctions),
- speed of operation.
Key tasks
