The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has adopted a
total of five laws required to implement the action plan to liberalize the EU
visa regime for Ukraine.
At a meeting of parliament on Tuesday, bills No.
2540a, No. 2541a, No. 2542a which deal with anti-corruption activities, and
bill No. 3040 on the National Agency of Ukraine for Identification,
Investigation and Management of Assets Obtained through Corruption and other
Crimes, as well as a bill on foreign labor migration No. 2330a were passed, an
Interfax-Ukraine correspondent reported.
Head of the parliamentary committee on European
integration Iryna Heraschenko in her comments to Interfax-Ukraine said that
Ukraine demonstrated significant progress towards implementing the action plan
to liberalize the EU visa regime for Ukrainian citizens.
However, she recalled that there still will be
an examination of the bill on amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code of
Ukraine on separate issues of seizure of property in order to eliminate
corruption risks when the bill (No. 2540a), which was passed on Tuesday, is
applied.
Heraschenko also recalled that the Ukrainian
parliament still needs to introduce the anti-discrimination provision into the
labor legislation, and pass a number of bills that deal with migration issues.
