We are talking about hundreds of Soviet regulatory acts.

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved and submitted to the Verkhovna Rada a bill to abolish actions taken in Soviet times, laws and other regulatory legal acts. The decision was taken at a government meeting on Wednesday, April 12.

As noted by the Minister of justice Pavel Petrenko, we are talking about more than one hundred Soviet regulatory acts. “In the legislation left a lot of Soviet times… which creates barriers for Ukrainian citizens and businesses.

And for years after the law came into force were terminated by the laws of the Ukrainian SSR and the USSR, and for three years – all codified acts of the USSR, still existing in Ukraine.

Petrenko stressed that the decision not to include a repeal of the ratification of international agreements that were signed before independence of Ukraine. The Minister expects the adoption of this bill in may.
