The Ukrainian Parliament recently signed a law on the extension of the e-declaration system to representatives of civil society, especially organisations active in the fight against corruption.
"The President's decision not to veto but to sign the amendment to the law on e-declaration is a huge disappointment. The amended law needs to be reconsidered. Targeting especially NGOs active in the anti-corruption field and softening the transparency rules is a major backlash in the reform process of Ukraine. The mistrust against civil society which is playing a constructive positive and key role in the whole reform process is harmful and counterproductive for the fight against corruption and the political process in Ukraine."
