Ukraine submits draft law to create data protection commission

The Ukrainian Parliament proposed a draft law on the creation of a National Commission for Personal Data Protection and Access to Public Information, with the intent of creating a commission to monitor compliance with the country's data protection law. The draft law outlines the commission's duties, organization and goals, saying the body will "promote the restoration of the right to protection of personal data and the right to access public information." The draft stipulates the commission would not consider noncompliance reports and must instead pass those to the High Council of Justice of Ukraine.
