Recently, Kyiv hosted a conference «Ukraine on the Road to the OECD and Accession to the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention» organized by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine with the support of the US Embassy in Ukraine.

The Ukrainian National Bar Association's Committee on Anti-Corruption Policy and Compliance has already analyzed the draft law and provided its comments and suggestions for its improvement. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development brings together 38 of the world's most economically developed countries with high incomes and a high human development index. It develops international standards used by the European Union. Therefore, the processes of joining the OECD and the EU actually complement each other. The Government of Ukraine applied for membership in the Organization in 2022. After that, the relevant program for Ukraine was prepared and signed. |
