The bill (Reg. No. 10698) proposes
to supplement article 20 of the Law "On Advertising" with provision regarding
prohibition of using images of children in advertisements of political parties
and candidates to offices in state bodies.
Members of the Committee noted that by the subject of legal regulation the bill belongs to the sphere of consumer rights protection, and healthcare and life protection of humans, animals and plants. Legal relations in these spheres are governed in the European Union by the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and the Directive of the European Parliament and Council 2006/114/EC concerning misleading and comparative advertising.
