OREANDA-NEWS. January 16, 2014. There were registered 34 news agencies in 2013 - the largest number in the last 4 years. For comparison: there was registered 23 such agencies in 2012, in 2011 - 30, in 2010 - 27. Any news agency did not terminate its activity last year.

In 2013, there was also registered 1044 printed media. 38 such media phased down their operation, while in 2012 – 63.

According to the low, grounds for termination of the print media are:

- a pass of one year period for the production of publication media after the time of receiving the certificate of registration;

- a decision of the founder of the printed media, agreed with the editorial board.

We recall: from January 8, 2014 the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine has simplified registration of the print media: amendments to the rules of registration of the print media came into force, according to the order of the Ministry of Justice "On Amendments to the Regulation on state registration of the print media."

It is about reducing the number of documents to be submitted for state registration of printed media, as well as the specified volume of information.
