It was concluded that particular emphasis should be placed on the suppression of the grey economy and informal work, to create the conditions for lawfully doing business and that every euro of the budget revenue goes into the state budget.
This will include special control measures not only in the private sector, but also eliminate any irregularities in the spending of state money.
"The grey economy is devastating not only for the economic environment and business operations of your companies, but also for the consciousness of our people. We need to show that the moonlighting is unethical, unreasonable and punishable by the law," said the Prime Minister only few days earlier, adding that the grey economy is taking future from our children.
