Both the regions and municipalities must make their legislation correspond with the new requirements of land, housing and town-planning legislation, substantially increase the number of plots of land sold by auction for construction, and speed up the process of making plans for new housing settlements.

The President placed separate emphasis on the necessity of putting the trade sector in order, in particular with respect to trading agricultural products and protecting the interests of domestic producers.

The head of state ordered the government to take immediate decisions regulating trade in the wholesale and retail market-places and regulating the presence of foreign workers in these markets including by giving the authorities more responsibility for the infringement of migratory rules both by those working in the market-place and those involved in trade.
