Ukraine’s Parliament Speeds up Gambling Readings

In order to cushion the devastating effect of COVID-19, The Ukrainian parliament (Rada) had to make some drastic changes to it legislative tools and timetables.

This affected Rada’s position in the face of increasing legislative readings as President VolodymyrZelensky requested that senior members of the cabinet be reshuffled in March, after the issue he had with First Minister Oleksiy Honcharuk. 

However, The SoP Party of Zelensky held its 2020 timetable to conclude a provision connected to Bill-2285D and resume regulated betting to Ukraine before the year ends. 

Toward the end of January, the last reading of Bill-2285D “Gambling Act” was carried out, as the MPs evaluated a much-reprimanded tax draft in the midst of inadmissible counter changes. 

Before now, there was graveyard silent as the bill was being passed, until DanyloHetmantsev, the Head of Finance Committee of Rada, made remarks in an interview encouraging the members of the Parliamentary Committee to hasten the passage of the gambling legislation.

Hetmantsev underlined that the activities of the panel didn’t bolster the affirmation of Bill-2285D into law. Rather, the minister focused on the fact that the bill had been overwhelmed by over 3500 corrections submitted to its draft legislation to create the government betting system for Ukraine.

 Hetmantsev, President Zelensky’s chief economic advisor, is of good faith that SoP would conclude Gambling Law legislation before the year ends, also with some measure of confidence that promises to revive Ukraine’s economy and industry.
