The bill profile on the Parliament’s website states that on Thursday, 26 October, the law was “sent back with the signature of the President of Ukraine”. This is the last stage needed for the law to take effect.
Last week, the Parliament at the meeting on 17 October adopted the bill 9296d about the strengthening of financial monitoring of PEPs (Politically Exposed People).
Before that Zelenskyy called upon the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine not to delay adopting the law necessary for starting the negotiations about Ukraine’s EU membership, mentioning specifically the law about PEPs.
In November, the European Commission is to present the annual report concerning the EU extension. It is expected that the Commission recommends starting official negotiations about Ukraine’s EU membership.
