The new leadership of the High Qualifications Commission of Judges (HQCJ) should be virtuous and independent, the Italian Presidency of the G7 Ambassadors Support Group in Kiev said in a statement published on social network X on Thursday.
“The G7 Ambassadors are closely following the news of the High Qualifications Commission of Judges and call for a transparent selection process for the new leadership, which should be virtuous and independent. Advancing reforms and filling the courts with vetted judges is critical to public confidence in the judiciary and private sector investment,” the statement reads.
According to Interfax-Ukraine, on March 27, the HQCJ granted the application of the commission’s chairman, Roman Ihnatov, to dismiss him from the position of a member of the commission at his own request. He had been heading the commission since June 6, 2023.
Moldovan Agriculture and Food Minister Vladimir Bola will meet on Monday with sunflower seed producers and processors due to the difficult situation in his country with sunflower oil production. According to the Moldovan news agency Infotag, the decision to discuss the problem was made after Floarea Soarelui, the largest oil producer, shut down two plants. The producers said they had no raw materials, as farmers refused to sell their seeds at the current market price, and sunflower imports are strictly licensed.
“Today, Moldova’s sunflower seed stocks are about 350 thsd tonnes, so any statements about lack of stocks are speculation. At the same time, the pricing policy should be objective, fair and responsible towards the end consumer,” Bola wrote on Facebook.
He emphasized that “by abandoning political statements and relying solely on the economic component,” the Ministry of Agriculture of Moldova will provide a platform for dialogue between seed producers and processors.
“Each party will provide real figures so that we can make decisions and find viable solutions for the new sunflower harvest,” Bola said.
As reported, Moldova has extended the licensing of sunflower seed imports from Ukraine for three months.

“The above is due to the forced migration of the Ukrainian population to other countries of the world, primarily to the EU member states, due to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation,” the report said.
Revenues from mobile services in 2023 increased by 9% to UAH 61.7 billion. Of this amount, UAH 41 billion (66.4% of the total_ came from data transmission. Including Internet access – UAH 7.4 billion (12%) were voice telephony services, UAH 1.1 billion (1.8%) were number portability services.
