KYIV, Oct 5 – An increased fiscal burden on businesses as it is foreseen in bill No. 4101 from the budget package could force some companies to shut down, which would result in the artificial deepening of the crisis, the European Business Association (EBA) said in a statement.

"The European Business Association calls for refraining from an increased fiscal burden on businesses and citizens to restore the country’s economic stability and prosperity as soon as possible. Otherwise, the losses for the business will be even more painful, and some companies will probably be forced to shut down altogether," the EBA said.
