Remember
On February 23, the Verkhovna Rada did not accept in the first reading the government bill on the reboot of the Bureau of Economic Security (BEB) No. 10439, which was opposed by the ambassadors G7 countries and Ukrainian business associations.
Minister of Justice Denis Maluski, who defended the government bill, called urgent recertification of BEB employees inappropriate. They say that it can be carried out only after the end of the war.
Also, the minister voiced a strange proposal that instead of recertifying employees, the new head of the BEB would prevent the mobilization of “good” employees and would not reserve unscrupulous ones.
Previously business turned to the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada and asked not to vote for the listed bills in this wording, but to finalize the already registered bills No. 10088 and 10088-1, which could really reboot the BEB, taking into account the proposals of business and international partners.
