President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has signed Bill No. 10337 "On Fair Lobbying," which is necessary to start negotiations on EU membership. UNN reports this with reference to the bill's card.

Details

According to the explanatory note to the document, the purpose of the draft law  is, in particular, to ensure the legal framework for lobbying in Ukraine in accordance with  international practices and standards, and to regulate the interaction of officials of state authorities and local governments with stakeholders and lobbying entities.

The document defines:

- lobbying terminology;

- rights and obligations of lobbying entities;

- methods of influence;

- rules of ethical behavior of lobbying entities;

- Establishment of the Transparency Register, which is owned and administered by the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption;

- the procedure for registration in the Transparency Register and exceptions to it;

- access to the Transparency Register (open and free of charge);

- reporting of the lobbying entity to the Transparency Register;

- mechanisms for controlling the activities of lobbying entities by monitoring compliance with lobbying legislation.

Addendum

As clarified by MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak, the law comes into force only two months after the NACP's Transparency Register starts functioning, but no later than January 1, 2025.

Recall

On February 23, the Verkhovna Rada passed in the second reading the draft law on fair lobbying, which was necessary for the start of negotiations on EU membership.
