Rada fails to adopt all the bills necessary for abolition of visas with the EU

Ukraine's Parliament because of disagreements within the coalition failed Thursday to adopt the entire package of draft laws, necessary for the entry into force of visa-free regime between Ukraine and the European Union.

Happy Wednesday planned to approve a package of laws for visa-free entry regime with the EU. However, the deputies could accept only four bills in the first reading, and one (concerning the external labor migration).

Most of the comments in the people's representatives came to the so-called anti-corruption package of laws. The MPs accused the Ministry of justice properly preparing the documents. After several unsuccessful attempts to find consensus and to vote for the documents, the speaker of the Rada Volodymyr Groysman was forced to adjourn the meeting of the Parliament and to postpone consideration of the documents on Tuesday, November 10.

above the head of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has urged parliamentarians to adopt a package of 13 draft laws on visa waiver to 9 November.

in addition to the laws relating to the liberalization of the visa regime, Rada on Thursday planned to call an election in Mariupol and Krasnoarmiisk, where valaisiana did not take place on 25 October because of a lack of ballots. Also the MPs planned to adopt the law on the reduction of the rates of rent for natural gas production, which would reduce tariffs for housing and communal services for residents.
