British ambassador to Ukraine Judith Gough has expressed hope for a full launch of the system of e-declaration of Ukrainian officials' assets in the nearest future.
“Commend Ukraine’s progress on tackling corruption, including the vital work of the NABU [the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine] and the NACP [the National Agency for Corruption Prevention]. But the launch of an incomplete e-declaration system risks damaging this progress and Ukraine’s reputation,” the official wrote on her Twitter page.
“Hope for the full launch soon,” the ambassador noted.
As reported, on August 14 NACP Head Natalia Korchak announced the agency had launched the e-declaration system at midnight on August 15, noting that the comprehensive data protection system of the e-declaration system register has not been certified by the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine. According to her, “obtaining a compliance certificate might occur “in five or ten days when the developer fixes all the flaws.”
The e-declaration system is one of Ukraine’s commitments to the European Union and international creditors, in particular in the issue of providing Kyiv with financial assistance from the IMF and the United States, as well as the introduction of a visa-free regime for the citizens of Ukraine by the European Union.
