The new Resolutions sharply narrow the possibilities of public organizations to participate in the formation and implementation of state policy, namely:
•the number of public organizations that can participate in the work of public councils is artificially limited, for example, at the level of ministries and regional organizations — to 15 organizations.
•the right of public organizations to participate in public councils is artificially limited by territorial status. This contradicts the Recommendations of the Committee of Ministers of the member states of the Council of Europe on the legal status of non-governmental organizations in Europe (No. CM/Rec(2007)14) and the Decision of the European Court of Human Rights (case "Koretskyy and Others v. Ukraine" 2008).
•the requirement to elect public councils during annual meetings by at least one quarter of the number of registered public organizations effectively makes the creation of such councils impossible.
The specified Resolutions were adopted in violation of the procedure introduced by the then-effective Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 1378 of 15.10.2004, namely:
•they were not posted on the developer's website for public discussion;
•no public discussion of the specified resolutions was held with representatives of public organizations and public councils.
Over one hundred representatives of public organizations from various regions of Ukraine, including the Association of Young Reformers, came forward with a demand:
1.Immediately repeal Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 1302 of 26.11.2009 and Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 10 of 06.01.2010.
2.Immediately restore the effect of Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 1378 of 15.10.2004.
3.Ensure the fulfillment of the promise of Prime Minister of Ukraine Yu. Tymoshenko of 18.12.2009 regarding the urgent consideration of the draft Law of Ukraine "On Public Organizations" (reg. No. 3371).
