“Currently, more than one million legal acts are in force in Ukraine. We all understand that most of them are changes and additions to the current legislation. The priority task of the members of the Parliament and the Government of Ukraine is to focus their work on improving the quality and effectiveness of legislation,” noted the First Vice Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
According to him, systematization of legislation is a long process.
“We started with planning legislative activities. From September 2020, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine together with the Cabinet of Ministers and the Office of the President of Ukraine worked on the Legislative Work Plan for 2021, which was recently adopted. We have drawn up the regulations that will be developed, presented, discussed and adopted by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. Then it will be monitored whether they have achieved the set goal,” the politician said.
According to Ruslan Stefanchuk, the second block, which is currently being worked on, is the deprivation of legislative ‘garbage’, the need for which has long since disappeared. Also, according to the First Vice Speaker of the Parliament of Ukraine, it is necessary to outline further steps to combat over-regulation and introduce new mandatory rules related to lawmaking.
“We have drafted the bill on the principles of lawmaking, which will soon be registered in the Parliament of Ukraine. These are unified rules in the field of law-making activity: from the moment of origin of the idea of normative-legal regulation, development of the corresponding project of normative-legal act, its discussion, systematization, and also adoption and carrying out of monitoring on the further implementation,” Ruslan Stefanchuk emphasized.
