The Committee on Legislative Support of Law Enforcement recommends that The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopts the Bill on Amendments to the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Infringements (re Establishment of Penalty Rates) as a Basis

23 April 2009, 13:54

Pursuant to the Bill (Reg. No.4107), minimum wage shall be used as a basic unit for formation of administrative penalties instead of a non-taxable minimum citizens´ income in the amount of 17 UAH which has been used as a basic unit since 1997.  

 

The Committee members stated that current system of calculation of penalties, the imposition of which defines the essence of administrative responsibility, had lost its efficiency as a means of preventing infringements, and, therefore, should be immediately altered.
