The Ukrainian League of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (ULIE) has urged lawmakers to dismiss bill No. 3549-1 concerning electronic communications that will be put for repeated first reading on January 19 and two other options of the eponymous bill.
The ULIE said in its address to parliamentarians that bill No. 3549-1 is aimed at not harmonizing Ukrainian legislation with the EU, but approaching the national law system with the Russian one.
“The requirements and provisions that are not in line with the Constitution of Ukraine, Ukrainian legislation and EU recommendations restricting Constitutional rights of citizens, not complying with the state policy and creating the conditions for the unlawful seizure of power by a group of persons in regulating the most attractive sector of Ukraine are evidence of this,” the league said.
As reported, on September 20, 2016, the Verkhovna Rada sent for repeated first reading bill No. 3549-1 concerning electronic communications submitted by MP Oleksandr Danchenko. Two other bills – No. 3549 submitted by MP Yuriy Moroko and No. 3549-2 submitted by MP Ruslan Lukyanchuk and Valeriy Babenko – were rejected or failed to have enough supporting votes.
