Recommendations of OPORA regarding the information which should be published on websites of VRU committees

Civil Network OPORA is calling for the Committees of the Verkhovna Rada to take measures and improve the promulgation of socially important information on their sites till December 31, 2013.

One of key challenges on the way to the establishment of democratic governance practices and European standards of political culture in Ukraine is the ability to secure transparency of government bodies. Transparency of government bodies includes promulgation of information about activities of VRU committees, which implement vital legislative and controlling functions.

According to sociological researches, the best way to promulgate information of government bodies is to publish it in internet. However, despite the government bodies are obliged to inform citizens about current activities, they use internet quite unwillingly when it comes to the promulgation of information. Promulgation of activities of parliamentary committees is a bright example of such passivity. Article 9 (2) of the Law on Committees of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine provides that information about current activities in committees shall be published on the official web page of the Parliament. However, it's not implemented in practice. Instead of materials about meetings and taken decisions, web site of the Verkhovna Rada contains basic information about membership of committees, grounds for their creation, and contact information of the secretariats.

Taking into consideration the research results, conducted by Civil Network OPORA and social importance of raised issues, OPORA recommends committees to publish socially significant information on websites:
