From international partners:

Why is this important?

On June 20, 2024, the Verkhovna Rada adopted in the second reading the draft law on the restart of BES. The draft law provides for mandatory re-certification of employees, and also establishes that international partners will have a decisive vote in the selection and re-certification of employees.

The draft law also provides that the new head of BES should be elected by a commission of six members, half of whom are international experts with the right to a decisive vote.

Restarting the Bureau of Economic Security is one of the conditions for Ukraine in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) extended financing program. Support from the EU is tied to this reform.
