HS “Union of Special Road Traffic Participants”

Not taken into account.
Since no additional justification has
been provided on the need to temporarily suspend and renew the decision of the commission on the designation of a special training center.
In turn, the proposed changes may create additional barriers for special training centers. At the same time, the draft order defines a clear list of grounds for the cancellation of the decision on the designation of a special training center.
In addition, the head of the center or his authorized representative has the opportunity to attend the meeting of the commission, as well as the possibility of providing explanations and documents indicating the elimination of deficiencies that are the basis for the cancellation of the decision on the designation of the center of special training, or the lack of such grounds. Therefore, there is no need to supplement the draft order with provisions on temporary termination and renewal of the decision of the commission on the determination of the center of special training.

The training is carried out in accordance with the approved training courses and in accordance with the documents attached to the application.
In this case, the competent authority is notified in advance of the date and place of the training and is granted the right to send persons authorized by it to attend the training courses. In case of violation of the conditions of approval, the competent authority may withdraw it. At the same time, changes in the approved courses, as well as in the training program must be made with the approval of the competent authority.
