The President of the Congress Jean-Claude Frécon welcomed the fact that, on 31 August, the Ukrainian Parliament had approved the reform of the constitution and the law on decentralisation. “This reform was a major step towards decentralisation and democracy and illustrated the determination of the government and President Poroshenko to embark resolutely on a path of profound reform”, said President Frécon. He was satisfied with the Congress’ contribution to the work of the Constitutional Committee which had drafted the legislation. He reminded that a roadmap for the implementation of Congress recommendations on local and regional democracy had also been signed with the authorities in May 2015.
