Law of Ukraine “On Corruption Prevention” Provisions to Be Extended to Tax Officials

Draft Law № 2496а “On the Introduction of Amendments to Customs Code of Ukraine in relation to Adoption of the Law of Ukraine “On Corruption Prevention” has been submitted for consideration of Verkhovna Rada.

The abovementioned Draft Law provides for implementation of the requirements into Ukrainian Customs Code on special checks conduct in cases established by the Law of Ukraine “On Corruption Prevention” during the employment to regulatory agencies, as well as obliges to inform regulatory agencies leadership on employed connected persons.

The relevance of these adjustments results from the absence of such requirements in the current version of the Customs Code.

Moreover, there are proposals to exclude from the Customs Code the guidelines on corruption denunciators defense and conflict of interest settlement.

In case Verkhovna Rada implements the suggested changes, they would take effect on the date following the Law publication date.
