Recall

The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has passed a scandalous bill on the "white business club" by the head of the parliament's tax committee, Danylo Hetmantsev. The document was criticized by both Mr. Hetmantsev's colleagues in parliament and experts. Even legal opinions stated that it did not comply with Ukrainian law.

In comments to UNN, economic experts pointed out that the document violates the Constitution of Ukraine and creates discriminatory conditions in the business environment.

Analysts at the Union of Ukrainian Entrepreneurs also concluded that Hetmantsev's draft law contains discriminatory provisions and has corruption risks.

Business Ombudsman Roman Vashchuk also stated that the draft law on the "white business club" is discriminatory.
