and clause 40 of the Code of the Laws on Labour of Ukraine. Under the bill, the right of access to
the state secret is
transferred from the
head of the body, establishment, and enterprise to the bodies of the Security
Service of Ukraine (upon
enactment of the Law "On Amendments to the Law of Ukraine "On State Secret" (Reg. No.2432-VI of 6 July 2010) on 30 January 2011).
The bill regulates the labour relations, supplementing clause 23 of the Law with a new part three, regulating the labour (occupational) legal relations between the owner and the citizen, if the former fails to provide the latter with an access to the state secret.
The Committee members upheld the bill, as its adoption would improve the national system of state secret protection, and correct legal deficiencies in the applicable legislation.
