With gut for nation reforms high on the agenda will this session go through the autumn. Parliamentary, educational, medical, judicial, and pensionary reforms are to be subject to review.  The Parliament’s Chair laid a stress upon that at opening a Conciliation Board’s meeting on Monday. “Each of these reforms needs a thorough, comprehensive and profound approach as it brings principal changes along the sphere, with lots of people behind,” he stressed.

The Chairman also predicated the current agenda was actually formatted by the committees’ proposals submitted.

“It is my personal feeling, this autumn ought to be densely flavoured with smell of reforms,” said A.Parubiy, having added that “the last parliamentary spring has laid a sound footing for major, fundamental reforms – and we are thus at full liberty and responsibility to get them all to be considered by the House”. He was also confident every reform needed to undergo the whole procedure “with reviewing of all the amendments, taking decisions only upon an overall and in-depth look”.

The reform of education is most likely to go first for consideration on this Tuesday.

A.Parubiy underscored that the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine would also take on the personnel affairs. “This session will bring us votes for a new Central Election Commission’s staff, new ombudsman, and a new bench of the Accounting Chamber of Ukraine,” said he later on.

The Chairperson of the Ukrainian Parliament reminded that the EU-UA Association agreement had come into effect on September 1, 2017 and started working at full power. “This is a fundamental treaty in Ukraine’s Euro-integration history,” underlined the Chairman of the Parliament.
