Zelenskyy says he will decide on signing the e-declaration law after further consultation

At a press conference in Kyiv on September 6, Zelenskyy said he would make a decision on the law on electronic declaration after consultations.

This is reported by Radio Liberty. 

At a press conference in Kyiv, Zelenskyy was asked whether he would sign the declaration law or veto it. 

"I asked Deputy Prime Minister Stefanyshina to hold consultations. After that, I will make a decision. There are two of them," the President told reporters.

The law on the resumption of the declaration is an important condition for the launch of EU accession negotiations and is also a "structural beacon" in the memorandum with the IMF under the Extended Fund Facility programme.

On September 5, the Rada reintroduced the declaration for public officials without immediately opening the registry. The National Agency on Corruption Prevention intends to appeal to the President to veto the law due to "a number of contradictory provisions".
