According to the MP, the final number of amendments is 4294.
“But they did a trick. All the amendments have been rewritten. That is, everything that was taken into account went into the “committee amendments”,
– he said.
Zheleznyak stressed that only 31 amendments from the Committee were taken into account. The remaining 4263 amendments are in the status of “rejected”.
He added that today the Verkhovna Rada will first consider the rejected amendments, and tomorrow – the taken into account ones.
It should be noted that the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security approved the text of the draft law on mobilisation for the second reading. The head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Taxation and Customs Policy, Danylo Hetmantsev, published the text of the proposed draft law with amendments.
The document was submitted to the Parliament on 10 April.
The law will enter into force one month after the day following its publication, except for those paragraphs that relate to amendments to parts four and five of Article 6 of the Law of Ukraine “On Mobilisation Preparation and Mobilisation” – they will enter into force eight months after the day following the publication of this Law.
Draft law on mobilisation
on 7 February, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted a new draft law on mobilisation without proposals from the relevant committee. It is expected to be voted on as a whole at the end of February, and the draft law may enter into force in April.
