EU Delegation to Ukraine: e-declaration system to be certified due to no technical deficiencies as clearly stated by UNDP

The reasons why the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine refused the issue of certificates for the system of e-declaration of officials' assets contradict the statements of reliable experts about its compliance with international standards and the possibility of launching it in accordance with the law, the EU mission in Kyiv has stated.

In connection with this Ukrainian authorities should as soon as possible to solve this problem, it said.


"The assertion that the failed timely issuance of technical certificates is due to technical shortcomings is opposite to public statements made by the UNDP and other credible experts. They clearly emphasized the system fully complies with the international standards and now can be used for collection and publication of declarations absolutely legally. This is the task the NAPC [Ukraine's National Agency for Prevention of Corruption] must now fulfil," according to the statement by the EU Delegation and the embassies of EU member states in Kyiv.

The statement says because of no proper certification the e-declaration system, the NAPC launched on August 15, "does not correspond to the objectives of securing the key legal consequences that should be the result of submission of false declarations."

"Therefore the launch of the electronic declaration system in a test mode makes little sense and could become counterproductive," the European diplomats said.
