Business associations appealed to the president and other authorities to ensure crucial reforms in Ukraine. Twenty-one Ukrainian business associations, including IT-Ukraine Association, CEO Club, Ukrainian Business Council, Chamber of Commerce and others, made a public appeal to the president, the Cabinet of Ministers and the Verkhovna Rada with a demand to ensure crucial steps for business are taken. The list of requirements from business includes three institutional reforms, in particular the restart of the Bureau of Economic Security (with a competitive selection of a new director that includes a decisive vote of the international representatives and recertification of staff) and the restart of the State Customs Service.
Despite pressure from the Presidential Office the Verkhovna Rada rejected the Cabinet of Minister's draft law on restarting the Bureau of Economic Security (BES). On Feb. 23, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine rejected the Cabinet of Ministers’ draft law #10439 on the fake restart of the BES. Despite huge pressure from the Office of the President and persuasion from the Justice and Economy ministries, the law only got 222 out of the 226 votes needed for it to pass.
