The bill (Reg. No. 8256) qualifies journalists as the individuals who cannot be questioned as witnesses. The Code of Criminal Procedure of Ukraine is supplemented with a new clause "Conditions of Search and Seizure concerning Journalists", whereby the head of the court of appeal shall pass a reasoned decree to carry out search and seizure in the mass media premises.

The committee members upheld the bill, since its adoption will support the journalists´ right to protect the sources of information.
