“As the bill on mass media is still in draft form, it requires further improvements in harness with the professional milieu,” Olena Kondratiuk, VRU’s vice speaker     

What she mentioned at today’s sitting of the Conciliation Commission relates to the not unknown bill No.2693 “On the mass media”.

 “I have to point out that the bill at issue is utterly controversial, heavily producing agitation and even stirring up outrage, lacking at the same time for all-out support by stakeholders and press tribe. I’d ask to take a step back, perhaps two steps backwards, and finally launch an ad hoc task force to address the issue and prepare a ‘well-done’ bill for further consideration at the chamber,” the official said, then stressing her willingness to join in such an ad hoc group on the part of VRU’s top brass.
