The International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects that all Ukrainian high-level officials will file their assets and income declarations for 2015 in the e-declaration system by the end of October.
”All high-level officials are required to file their assets and income declarations, as defined under Article 46 of law 2014/49 for the calendar year 2015 within 60 days of the launch of the e-filing system, and officials that filed during the period the system operated in test mode will have to resubmit their submission, and the disclosures will be made freely available to the public on a single website shortly after submission (a new structural benchmark for end-October 2016),” reads a Memorandum of Economic and Financial Policies between Ukraine and the IMF, which was made public on Monday, October 3.
”We are committed to make any further revisions to the disclosure system as needed to ensure that it is effective, in agreement with IMF staff,” the Ukrainian side said in the memorandum.
As UNIAN reported earlier, the e-declaration system in Ukraine was launched at midnight on September 1, as provided for by the law on prevention of corruption.
From September 1, detailed electronic declarations have to be submitted within a 60-day period by high-ranking officials: the president and the prime minister, their advisers and assistants, members of the government, deputy ministers, members of the National Commission and the Antimonopoly Committee, heads of the State Property Fund and the National Bank of Ukraine, as well as their deputies, MPs, civil servants of ”A” or ”B” categories, judges, prosecutors and investigators, heads and deputy heads of state bodies, which jurisdiction covers the entire territory of Ukraine, military officials of senior officer level.
