The Committee of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on Legislative Support of Law Enforcement Activities recommended that the parliament take as a basis the draft law on introducing amendments and additions to the Criminal Code of Ukraine (regarding illegal entry into a vehicle), submitted by People's Deputy Mykola Karnaukh. \naccording to the Information Department of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the draft law was developed with the aim of improving the Criminal Code of Ukraine regarding liability for illegal entry into a vehicle and illegal seizure of a vehicle for any purpose. \nThe author of the draft law noted that the prevention of illegal entry into a vehicle in Ukraine is not regulated by any legislative act. \nLiability for illegal seizure of a vehicle for any purpose in Ukraine is provided for in Article 289 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which today does not provide effective counteraction and does not fully cover the problem of illegal entry into vehicles and illegal seizure of a vehicle for any purpose, the Committee members noted. \nThe draft is aimed at countering illegal seizure of a vehicle and entry into it, connected with the protection of property, public order, public safety and increasing the effectiveness of the activities of internal affairs bodies in performing functions aimed at preventing illegal seizure of vehicles. \nThe Committee noted that the adoption of the draft law will contribute to the improvement of the legal activities of internal affairs bodies, and will also strengthen control in the direction of countering illegal entry into a vehicle and illegal seizure of a vehicle for any purpose and will contribute to reducing negative trends of its growth. \n
